I previously owned a phantom 4 and just got a mavic - haven't flown it yet! Wondering what tips you guys have for launching or landing from uneven ground or sandy areas?
With my phantom, I would sometimes put it on the backside of my backpack lying down. Because of the smaller landing gear footprint, this was relatively easy. The mavic touches the ground much further out, and this is harder. Plus, the actual clearance is far less
Landing I mostly landed on the ground but got comfortable with hand catching which again was made easier due to the landing gear. Seems far more dangerous to try and grab the mavic? Again, far less clearance...
So what do you guys do in these situations where you don't have a flat ground or too much dust/sand to spin up?
