Lots of threads about hand-catching so I just wanted to share a video, the full video of what it looks like for a hand catch. In short, whether on land or at sea, I feel hand-catching is the best way to protect your drone from dust, twigs, grass or water. Doesn't matter if you're on a ship or on solid ground. Same principles apply: You or your catcher must wear a glove. Catch the drone away from your face and above your head. Bring the drone into the wind when catching. The drone operator or the catcher has the right to call off the landing attempt if something seems off. Communication is key.
