[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@AndrewVanBeekOttawa Ha ha, yup I don't visit Petrie much in the summer as it is filled with many families and I like to fly in areas where their are less humans. Humans are not only obstacles to any type of drone but also curious people and they all want to distract a pilot with questions.

[@victoriaheatherly5877]

That was incredible! Great catch! I just got a drone and am still learning. So I’m tipping my hat to you!!

[@SpeedsterIG]

Last year in the Tyrolian Alps I let my Mini 3 Pro fly up from our narrow balcony form a small table. Landing was the same. I had the option to switch off the sensors but I decided to land with the sensors on. You can do this easily if you land the M3P sideways, the obstacle avoidance is blind to the sides. Worked like a charm.

[@TOURMANBOB]

Wow, that is a tight landing on a sailboat with all that rigging and the sails. I routinely drone on the Ottawa River too but from a power boat with a landing spot at the front of the boat. My "formula" for successful recovery is as follows: 1- Just before you land, update the home point to where you are (DJI should have a software option where the drone "follows the controller" for continuous updating of the home point " automatically, but doesn't) 2- Then activate return to home. When you actually see the drone coming down, cancel the RTH. Then switch to Tripod mode and turn off accident avoidance. Then slowly and carefully bring it to home on the landing pad goin down and forward at the same time. This IS easier said than done, but with extra care, I find it works as well as anything else I've found to land the drone. It must be done slowly and carefully as the boat is continually drifting. The Tripod mode gives you maximum control at slow speeds.. This works for me using the Air 2 and Zoom. Doing this, I have lost my fear of flying over water...... Very pleasant video to watch btw...thank you as always for your efforts

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you for sharing your method. Considering you have had success, means it works well.

[@TOURMANBOB]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Well enough if one is very careful. I really think that DJI should have the option for the home point to follow the drone. We often do videos where one person drives while the second manoevers the drone to take shots along certain historical routes (like the Opeongo trail north of Ottawa). Just before we land, we always update the home point to at least bring the drone close to where we have stopped along the way. If would be nice to have this as an option in software. Cheers !!

[@nelsonprivateer7128]

I always land butt to me even on land. That way my bail manoeuvre is always the same: both sticks fwd. ( the GIC being that route is clear is was the approach path).

Welcome to Britannia! Our boat is docked right across the harbour from where you were. I land the mini 2 in the cockpit on some large seat cushions spread between the seats.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Flying from and landing on a boat is not for the faint of heart. I used to do it fairly frequently on my pontoon boat, which had tons more space than the sailboat. The biggest issue is the constant motion, including up and down.

Amen to that, brother

Nope. I let the drone recognize my hand as the ground and let the Captain take off as normal. Unlike the ANAFI, there is no "hand launch" move where it knows its being thrown and starts flying like a bird falling out of a nest

[@sumner407]

As usual, another good and interesting video. I like the verity and different perspectives you are putting in your subject matter. If you had a dingy aboard, you could have operated it from the island with more room for landing. However , the boat is too small to carry a dingy and this problem made the video more interesting.

[@nelsonprivateer7128]

We do carry a dinghy on our foredeck occasionally but it a dinky dinghy :)

Good morning cool video

[@vanvugtdronecinematography7769]

Yeah, It can really be tricky to land a drone on a boat.😅 I also have done that. It was a moving boat on a river. But at first I thought it was hard to land. But if you have a steady hand and you match the speed of the boat then you just pick your drone out of the air.🤗

[@ChrisCameronPhoto]

Almost all my flights are from boats. A couple of things I can tell you I do to make my life less stressful. I have a catch handle mounted that protrudes directly below my Mavic 2 Pro. Once I'm close to the boat I turn 180 so I can reverse in, line of sight. That way I'm not having to think about left being right etc. I get a good catching altitude set up, then back in to position and catch with my left hand. Always a. relief to get the thing back on board. If you want to see some really clever flying from boats look for Volvo Ocean Race drone footage.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Excellent!

[@nelsonprivateer7128]

I have a handle for my Air 2. I seldom use it S I find the connecton to the drone not super secure. I have also used monofilament fishing line a d a small weight. That is not really Ll that good as the drone still tries to remain in ins same sport in space you it goes into hyperactive and starts pulling making it harder to capture and turn upside down

Famous Eastern cdn folk singer Stan Rogers recorded " Barret's Privateers" and since our last name is Barrett, our boat name was never in doubt. This is Actially Privateer II.

Privateers carried letters of Marque saying they represented a king or queen and therefore were not pirates.

[@omnirhythm]

Just lost a Mini 4 Pro to a sailboat and medium strong wind. I didn't turn off obstacle avoidance, and I didn't know that starting in Cine mode does NOT work. It will default to Normal mode, which made the controls that much faster and harder to fine-tune to the wind and moving sailboat. I tried to force-land it on the front part and in the last second it touched a rope, bouncing off to the sea and sinking instantly. It was crazy how fast it sunk. I'm pretty sour about the fact that the Cine switch isn't respected. Had I had slightly slower movement, I'd be able to catch it by hand.

[@8thday204]

Interested to see this video as the most use our Mini2 gets is on our boat. That sunshade did not do you any favours on your bil's yacht as the cockpit is about the only realistic place you can land - it also has the advantage of having coamings round it meaning that if things go pear shaped your precious aircraft won't go over the side. I've only had one dodgy landing out of many and no damage was caused. There are also only two hazards in this area - the topping lift (keeps boom up) & the back stay (keeps mast up) and it you move the boom to the side and secure it then you will end up with a Mini2 sized entrance down into the cockpit where I place a drone helipad thing.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Great input from a boater. Thanks for sharing.

[@miguels5426]

I had to land with a mavic on a sailboat during sailing on open water. This was really difficult because of the lines everywhere and the waves. The trick is that I have to shut off all the sensors of the drone. I need five or six tries and a second man that catch the drone by hand. But it work and all were happy about it.

[@gpierre90]

Hi Steve, I also tried something a bit similar in January, and I brought my Mavic 2 zoom along on a Yacht trip. The yacht was a bit wider and thankfully had no sails and was motor powered, although I like to fly with obstacle avoidance on, I found whilst I could take off, the obstacle avoidance did not allow me to land back on, so landing I had to hand catch it. The sea was calm however Because the location was beneath aircraft flight path I decided it was wise to remain low.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Boat landings can be nerve racking for sure

[@typxxilps]

lot harder to land on a racing shell, I mean a mens rowing single while rowing sessions. RTH does not work, the drone does not want to land cause it recognices water as unsafe spot. Only on the very last seconds cm above the deck it recognise the hull as safe spot. We use it for training purpose as a follow me flying camera but the DJI are not that good for that compared to the skydio and the beacon. But that is even harder to land and has far less flight time. So take a canoe and try it again cause it has a bigger deck then a single, a rowing boat.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

On small boats like a canoe, rowing boat, kayak, then hand catch is the safest.

[@AJ-Palermo]

Question: How much weight do you think the Mini 3 Pro could hold while using either the regular battery or the Plus battery? I'm guessing not much, but do you think it'd be enough for an anti-collision strobe and remote-controlled landing light?

[@Matanumi]

Not much.... shouldn't make a difference of those lights were designed to run on the mini 3 pro

The more weight you add to GPS drones the less accurate they fly. It’s all about trial and error.

Love sailboats even though we have only owned speed boats and a pontoon boat when the kids were growing up. I watch several sailing and camping channels and all use drones for great artistic video. Canada may be different, but in the US, we call the free downwind sail a spinnaker...
