Hi everyone,
In a few weeks I'm going on a dive cruise on a small yacht. I plan to fly my mini 2 to take pictures and video of the boat and surroundings.
I did the same last year, but only flew when the boat was anchored and when there was no or little wind. I had no problems launching and landing then.
I am now thinking of grabbing a video of the boat while it is moving. Obviously this poses extra things to be aware of. Launching should be done from the rear of the boat, as the drone will stay at its GPS location while the boat moves away underneath it.
I'm more worried about landing as hovering above the deck will mean I will actually need to fly forward at the same speed as the boat.
My question: is it possible to initiate the landing sequence while flying forward?
I almost always hand catch the drone so I'm very experienced in that, but I would need both hands to land and fly forward at the same time, so I would need a second person to do the hand catching.
Any remarks and suggestions are welcome.
Freddy
