    and why?

    There are numerous landing pads available, so I assume they are popular, however I have never seen anyone actually using one in the field.

    The most common seems to be the collapsible orange with a 'H' symbol type - but for $75 it'd want to be good.

    So what types do people have and when do they use them ? need them?


    I've also seen some super gimmicky ones like with led lights which is a bit of a .... as you normally can't fly at night anyway.

    You can get them online for 10 or 15 dollars. I use one for my Spark, as it makes a specific target for the camera to lock onto when recording it's home point.

    That's about the only thing I could think of. That and jnmown grass, given the Mavic is low to the ground compared with say a phantom.

    Funny story.
    I had a landing pad in my save for later shopping cart while I decided whether I needed one. In the end I decided not to.
    Then my missus is buying some other stuff and inadvertently adds it to her order.
    So now it seems I'm getting one :cool:

    Mental note: I should have added a motorcycle to my shopping cart... LOL

    Lol I need to try that trick with my Misses.

    Personally never saw the need for landing pad?
