Hello,
I bought a 75cm wide landing pod for my drone just to find out it is too small. I bought 110cm instead and that one was way better.. but hard to transport:
7th min of this video:
After I published this video someone in comments has suggested me to learn hand take offs and hand landing what I did.
I even stopped carrying any landing pads with myself. After a few days of hand based take offs and hand landings and I realised that sometimes gimbal didn’t behave properly.. it turns in a different direction away from me.
I have contacted the Dji support then and asked to tell me what do they think about hand landing or hand take off for Mavic 2 drones and I was told that
the Mavic 2 Pro drone hasn’t been designed for any hand based take offs and any hand landing and it hasn’t been tested for this purpose.
It has no sensors which tells the drone that the landing actually happened and they don’t recommend any hand take offs and hand landing if they are not really necessary.
In result I ordered a new landing pod .. the one which folds like a map so desn't take as much space as the rounded one.. but its still 50cm wide. Finally I realised that it would be good to know what is the truth behind that hand landing and hand take offs?
I asked for official statement and more data and this is everything I have got:
'...unfortunately there's no information and testing from our end for the hand take-off and landing. As there would be no information it is not recommended'
Can anyone who has more experience and knowledge to myself elaborate on hand landing and hand take off topic? Can I damage the drone this way somehow if the take off or landing was correct without hitting anything, dropping down, cutting fingers etc?
If I hand land the drone is it ok to move 50m without turning it off and take off from hand again while gimbal tries to stabilise itself? Can I do any harm to the drone this way?
Asking About Mavic 2 Pro
Thanks in an advance.
