DJI's on hand landing.

[old man mavic]

@skyscapist @jwilson ,as clever as these drones are ,when the flip method has been used to stop the motors after a hand catch ,then it asks you to check the props ,simply because it was turned upside down,
which if the drone had indeed landed that way, then prop damage would have been a distinct possabilility

Not at all. It does not damage the props. There is no impact.

That wasn't what he said.

What he said was,

"which if the drone had indeed landed that way, then prop damage would have been a distinct possibility."

"When the flip method has been used to stop the motors after a hand catch, then it asks you to check the props, simply because it was turned upside down…."

No matter what anyone says I do not like the idea of flipping the drone upsidedown after hand catching. I always wait until the motors stop with the drone held firmly in my hand. It is only about 2 sec. Never had any problem doing this on land, on boat or whatever the case might be.

I didn’t know that such a warning existed until I was testing out my drone without propellers attached and it replied with that message even with the props off and the motors just idling.

Oh, and you guys in the UK need to learn to write better English so us Yanks can understand your meaning!
