So full disclosure. I am sailing on a boat across the Pacific in 2 months. I own a Mavic Air.
I will likely want to get some shots of us sailing on the boat mid Pacific at some point. I will mainly use the drone on land.....if it makes it to land.
I have read all the articles and seen all the vids. Seems like a tough idea - Especially as the drone is not waterproof and the boat is a sailboat and will not stop .
I am not concerned about the takeoff but the landings are all super scary! Hand catching seems out of the question with this bird. Got to thinking what if I use the prop protectors and install a netting "box" on the stern of the catamaran and just fly it straight into it and let it crash. Would think that the damage would be minimal.
I would grateful for any insight and opinions you might have. Especially if you have experience in this area.
