Looking for a climber to retrieve Helicopter Camera from Grand Canyon Bright Angel

HEY CLIMBERS! Not unlike yourselves, I have a passion, but mine is cinematography. On Saturday April 19th 2014 I was in the Grand Canyon at the top of Bright Angel Trail and I sent my brand new remote control Helicopter off the edge to capture the most epic shots of my life. I took the risk for my passion and lost. I now have no camera, no helicopter and no footage! :(

I have the exact location but no experience and no equipment. It is not in a difficult place to get to, but it is the grand canyon and I live in Toronto and I am now home. I would love to have someone retrieve it before it is too late and it rains. Is anyone willing to use there passion to save mine? Let me know it would mean the world to me.
