a safer way to catch your Mavic

[JDawg]

I hand catch without touching a single setting.. No problem either. Just when you put your hand under it moves up a few inches. Then stick down and bam

I just did this. Brought it down and tried sneaking my hand under it and it rose. Then tried left stick full back and it came down and landed in my hand soft as a feather, no drama whatsoever.

And without having to drink around with settings

Nope, all sensors on. In the past I had snatched it out of the air and that is a bit nerve wracking. Left stick back was as smooth as could be, very cool.

Especially when drinking around the settings.

Not sure why one would anyone would hand catch a drone. And to those that claim they need to hand catch due to rocky or unstable landing areas, how did you launch?

Same way.. Flat palm.. Start up the engine. Then take off. Not hard and honestly it's an important skill for your tool box.


And yes drink around.. Because I don't think the forum likes the word dink

Are you serious?
I’m sure you can think of lots of reasons to handcatch drones.
And most areas unsuitable for landing are also unsuitable for launching, so ever heard of handlaunching? [emoji12]

Of course I've heard of hand launching. Seen tons of videos of guys trying to look cool doing it even though the ground is perfectly suitable for landing.

I hand land/launch so I don't have to get out of my chair lol

The FAA prohibits hand catching of drones. Just thought you might like to know that little rule.

That’s news to me...can you cite a source?

Also the faa doesn't mean squat to me.
