Dust and dirt takeoff and landing

[Dharris6891]

I use a landing pad (when I remember it) or my truck tonneau cover for take off/landing. I use canned air or my air compressor to clean my drone, for light cleaning I use a barely dampened blue shop paper towel. If I get bug splatter, grass stains, or grease stains (I'm a mechanic) I use a barely damp melamine sponge (magic eraser), they take dang near anything off anything.

I like my weighted Hoodman, no pegs, no stakes, no flyway's, no problem.

Yep me too. I have the 3 footer and it seems to be my favorite. A buddy has one of the larger models and it's kind of a chore to wrap it up. I've never had the wind blow mine into the air but I avoid ground wind speeds much higher than about 15 MPH. In the past I've launched off my Pelican case, used a vehicle floor mat and even a rubber blanket used to cover up electrical circuits but the Hoodman is easier to use and store.
