Hand Landing a DJI Mavic 3: Surprisingly Simple Compared to the Mini 2:3:4!

[@TheCNCDen]

My contribution: - Never do it on a windy day, never do it on a windy day with people watching and try to walk away looking like everythings fine when in reality you've just shredded all your fingers.

The tripod cam (whatever it is) is capturing the colours of the area perfectly and your audio is broadcast quality as always. I really need to invest a little if i want to start doing little drone videos.

best thing to do is start with what you have and as your video skills improve improve the kit

I hand land/catch my Air 3 often, not with my palm open flat. I use my thumb and 3 finger pinch, and only in calm conditions /mild wind, helps when I'm sitting down on one of those wooden slatted (outdoor pub style) tables to avoid the drones legs going down a slat gap and damaging a prop.

Never try that on a Sunday after a gid night on the sauce on the Saturday or you wont have anything left to catch it with 😄

It’s almost impossible to not catch this big beastie! 😁

I have the 2, and tbh, i've never tried hand-landing it. How much worse is it than the Mavic?

[@WindsweptRobert]

It's smaller and the props are closer to the body, and therefore closer to the fingers when you try to hand land it.
