No problem. It wouldn't bother me if you were. New ways, different ways even better ways are always criticized. I knew that when I made the video which is why I said try it if you want. I'm certainly no expert and there are many ways to skin a cat. Being green and seeing some of the damage...

Who said it was a fuss. I just figured out a way to pluck it from the air as easily and safely as a phantom. Other ways work. You can grab it hope you have it well and watch it fight for a few seconds. You can play juggler in the wind and attempt to land it on your hand. You can ignore the drone...

I'm from the prairies. It's always windy and gusty here. If I waited for calm I'd never fly. When you are pushing the stick down one handed with your other hand out to have it landed on the drone is still susceptible to gusts with no way to control the drone manually and it does not have time to...

Glad it worked for you. You are very welcome. I bought a pgytech combo kit of accessories with a landing pad for the landing pad mainly but then discovered this hand catch technique. The landing pad is the only part of the combo kit I don't use. I live on the prairies. It's always windy here...

I bought a Pgytech combo kit. landing pad, extended gear, gimbal cover with the hole in it, Controller lanyard, Prop Controller stick protectors. Tried the landing pad once. Id' rather hand catching and hand launching. I use it all except the pad. Funny. I ordered the kit specifically for the...

I haven't run into a hater yet but I'm looking forward to it. Lol.. The other day I flew out to check out a road that flooded with the spring run off. I was 43 meters off the ground flying straight south. A flock of Canadian geese crossed in front of me at about 20 meters lower altitude about...

Forgot my manners. You are very welcome. Hope it works out for you as well as it has for me. I ordered the helipad and extended landing gear when I was doing the quick grab and fight from the bottom method. Now that I figured this out I doubt I'll use them much when they get here. It's just too...

Unless I have a clean surface I hand launch also which is about 90% of the time. Hand launching is easy but just watch your fingers. I hold a low cupped position on the bottom of the drone and do the precision auto take off. i hold my hand cupped a bit so it doesn't fall out of my hand but the...

That's why i grab it from the front like I do. If you position your hand the same way and have yourself off to the side, the sensors won't see you. No rush. You are away from the rear props and under the front arms so even if they did see you it would safely pull itself away. Folks here assume I...

Lol. Wasn't planning on starting the hand grab debate. I know how other folks do it cause there are 50 videos or more of people hand catching and demonstrating every method above except the one I describe. taking the time necessary to shut off sensors or the quick grab. I've tried them all. I...

You are very welcome.

I used to have blind faith also. I always excused any bad behavior or treatment as "they have a tough job" "Probably dealt with a jerk before me" That was until a police officer stopped me and threatened to issue a full government safety inspection on my vehicle unless i shut up and took a seat...

Not the way it works my friend. If an officer pulls me over he better have a reason. He is either going to tell me what that reason is or I'll be the one calling 911 to get the illegal stop on permanent record. They require grounds to pull me over or it is them that are GUILTY of breaking the...

In you're event recollection you were very correct to hand over your ID. He had suspicion of a crime. In your boots in that situation there would be no fricken chance I would resist his request. 1 guy in a parking lot at night with a car alarm? He immediately has suspicion of possible vandalism...

Call a defense attorney Their first advise always is to keep your mouth shut. So if I, being one of these armchair attorneys, am wrong why would any defense lawyer you could call right now advise you to remain silent? Search Youtube Many many videos of Actual attorneys telling people to keep...
