Howes said a lack of rooftop access made the drone's rescue impossible until he upgraded to a larger drone, which he outfitted with a video camera and a pair of hooks made from coat hangers and green tape for the attempt.
The video shows Howes successfully snare the stranded drone with one of the hooks and deliver it into his own hands.
Howes said in a comment the smaller drone "worked like a charm" after a battery change.
"I had a gut feeling that it should be fine and it was," he said in a Reddit post.
