[@lonsnyder7665]

One more tip; change how the drone reacts to “lost connection” from “return to home” to “hover”. If you lose radio connection from a moving boat, your drone will otherwise return to the launch location which will result in it landing in the water

[@kevinhudson6256]

@@brettgaramella Except that won't work if the boat is moving much Brett. Because by the time it gets to where it recorded the transmitter location at time of disconnection the boat could have moved enough to land in the water as well if your not paying attention. Hover could be best as long as you know where it is and can regain RC connection.

[@efetanyildiz]

Brett Garamella I would just tell the captain to stop and change the home point to where I am

[@drdrew3]

Kevin Hudson Hover is the best of the available options for LOST SIGNAL. You don’t want the other options which are “immediately land in place” or “RTH and land”

[@sebsadventures41]

You can update your RTH while flying from the menu

[@lonjsnyder]

@@sebsadventures41 Technically true but if the boat is constantly moving, that won’t solve the lost connection problem

[@MaltaWalks]

It was DEFINITELY not the metal. The exact same thing will happen on a wooden boat. The expression of "I stopped the boat" does NOT exist at the sea. The waves will shake your drone relative to the gps coordinates (especially the "Z") the currents will move the boat X,Y. I really don't know why you stick to the wrong answer so desperately. Watch your own video and analyse it at 1:27 (a so called stopped boat) and at 7:03 (a pure proof what is really happening) . (I don't want to comment the idea/tip to calibrate the compass on a boat... especially if you think that there are lot of metal elements around you ​🙂 ) Peace

[@DoctaM3]

Brett, I am pretty sure its the momentum of the boat that was impacting the take-off of the drone. Its not likely the pitch or anything. Think about it this way, if you are trying to jump straight up from a moving car, you will have a momentum in the opposite direction of the car, i.e. backwards. There is your explanation of what was happening to your drone.

[@sablez1714]

@@brettgaramella DoctaM3 is right. You were stopt but not as on pavement. The boat was stil moving slowly on whater so the drone wants to stay on that gps point from the take off moment. ;)

[@deanjericevic8912]

Much more likely the metal of the boat. The micro waves on which the information is encoded are interfered with from any metal. The larger the metal objectthe more interferance.

[@joeys5429]

@@sablez1714 perhaps they can work on a firmware update they can call it shark mode

[@ryansouthwell]

It’s not the metal. I’ve flown from boats a ton. So, boats are never still, even if you think they are. The GPS is programmed to stabilize flight and if you are coasting even .5 knots the drone will still correct flight immediately on launch and fly in the direction to keep it GPS static. Hope that helps. Always hand launch and catch. 👍🏼

[@deanjericevic8912]

@@ryansouthwell It is an established fact that the free electrons in metals strongly reflect microwaves & these are what your information from the controller to the drone are encoded on. They would garble the signal, so it is correct to use a hand held take off & land. The further away from the boat you take off & land the better. It is also a type of inverse distance square that the "garbbling" effect comes into play. The closer you are to the metal the more disproportionately stronger garbled becomes the signal. On land, when flying your drone take off & land well away from large metal objects.

[@ericreifsnyder8655]

The reason the drone was flying back when you tried to take off is because the drone set its home point, which since the boat was moving forward, you were leaving the home point behind. The drone was trying to hurry to the home point. Look how fast the pro2 moves back compared to the speed the boat is moving. It’s the same speed.

[@geoffj3191]

Not really. What happens is that the drone tries to hold its position using the GPS and the boat moves away from that position.

[@ericreifsnyder8655]

@@geoffj3191 wow, I forgot I made this comment 3 years ago. I was still new then, and was completely wrong. But, with that said, new updates like the air 3 just got, allowing the drone to land without pausing will make hand caching on boats much easier.

[@shb7772000if]

Good video. I was launching and landing on banka boats in the Philippines. They have about a two foot wide triangular area in the front, with wood going up a couple inches on the sides. My boats were always anchored. Landing on a fast moving boat would be crazy in my opinion. Takeoffs were fairly easy but on landing, the drone would move at the last minute so I damaged 3 propellers. After that I decided to try a hand landing on land and it worked good. I flipped the drone over to turn off the propellers like you did. You need to have obstacle avoidance turned off when you do this. DJI will tell you not to do a hand landing or launch, but I feel it's safe. Anyway good video.

[@pelagionelectric]

I am watching this post about my last Drone mission. I had to do an emergency landing that required me to grab the drone out of the air with my hands. The Crew and Captain cheered the way your friends did. It was my first drone flight from a boat, and I was NERVOUSE! But the shots came out fantastic.

[@andreasmayr4025]

It wasn't taking off correctly from the deck because they are designed to hover as soon as you take off, or fly straight up. That "straight up" coordinate is determined through gps, and the boat is moving, so that takeoff gps coordinate is now behind the boat by the time you lift off since its moving.

[@deanmartin6222]

Yeah and a lot of people don't get this. Most of them blame it on the wind, speed of the boat or the metal underneath the boat.

[@edwardcahill362]

Was good but I wish you would have mentioned what RTH steps to RTH

[@cinquetang6729]

Thx for the video. I tried this yesterday before I saw your video and I damaged 2 props then packed up the drone. lol I was nervous to tear up the seat if it happened again.

[@sebsadventures41]

Careful! Grab and flip method can cause damage to the gimbal! Not sure if it was mentioned in the video. Better is to turn off the down sensor (if you have the option) and grab it that way

[@brettgaramella]

I've been flying for more than 7 years and never had a single gimbal issue flipping my drone.

[@michaelcheser]

The problem you're coming into with launching and the drone moving is the GPS lock. Your drone the moment it leaves the ground is designed to hold position, the boat will always be moving slightly unless anchored due to winds and currents. In your case you guys were still moving at 7-8knots and every time you took off the drone was trying to stay in it's GPS position so it is moving. Best way to launch from a boat is to launch from the hand, be clear of the gunwales and you're good. Also always launch from the side of the boat that's not he backside of the drift meaning you want to launch and have the boat moving away from your drones GPS position otherwise your boat will hit the drone if you don't get out of the way fast. The rule is clear the gunwales and then go up once the boat is out of the way.

Hi...how are you? I'm from Brazil. I watched several videos on YT about how to take off a drone from a boat and your video was the best because you gave very important tips, especially the part about the compass with the metals. Thank you. It helped me a lot. Att. Célio - Sao Paulo/Brasil

I might have missed this in your tips, but was waiting for Turn Off Return to Home. Best Dave

[@florentdevier]

Tried for the 1st time today. The drone went strait for an antenna and bounced into the water. Even if I saw your video afterwards, I did basically all your tips. I wouldn't recommend doing it on a small boat, you put yourself in the mercy of your luck.

[@brettgaramella]

That's a bummer. Did you successfully do a compass calibration before takeoff. I also hand-launched over the edge of the boat and warned against antennas in my video. What drone were you using?

[@florentdevier]

@@brettgaramella Don't worry mate i'm not blaming you, i saw you video afterwards. But it's important to specify it's not easy AT ALL to do a boat take off, or landing in a boat. If i were to go back and do it today, knowing my mistake i'd still be very uncomfortable (as a matter of fact i will not try it again on a small boat). The risk is just too high to fail, and if you do it's 2k€ straight to the water. Even if you are careful / gifted enough it only needs a wave, an unexpected wind, to kill your drone. I had the M2 pro

[@nsvaluto48328]

I have a jetski and I want try this with that some of the active track modes are cool on this

[@kai64]

If anyone knows the law of physic, this is not a big of issue. If the boat is moving while taking off and landing, you have to do both on your hands. Also turn off obstacles avoidance so that when you catch the drone to flip, it won’t detect your hand and try to resist.

[@johnmeyers3954]

On take off vertically from a moving boat, or even holding the drone while walking, the drone wants to stay at the same GPS coordinates. So as soon as the drone take off it wants to go back to the place it was. It has very little to do with metal. Try walking while holding the drone for takeoff and you will feel it tugging to go back.

[@brettgaramella]

I understand your point, but I discussed this with the drone techs I worked with who know a lot more than I do and they said it is the metal. In addition, after stopping the boat, it did not work close to the metal but worked fine with hand launch. So it is definitely the metal from my experience.

[@michianadroneservicesllc858]

I might want to suggest not to calibrate the compass on the boat. The boat's steel and such may through it off. If you're going to do it. Do it on the ground near your location.

[@michianadroneservicesllc858]

I just tried a month ago. Still didn't work. Think it the Mavic Pro lack of manual control of the Atti mode. With the drone trying to maintain a GPS location it flies into the wall during take off.

[@carlosorff]

Thank you for the video, but the boat was not moving forward 😄 I am looking for a solution of not stoping the boat, just going slow and landing on the boat or landing the drone.

Nice experience! One week ago I did the same with my Mavic Mini but I had to grab it quickly because of the lower sensor. How did you manage this? Can you disable it? Thanks for the video!

[@osullivanstudios]

Your first mistake was to calibrate the Compass on the boat next to those engines the next one is you’re trying to takeoff from a moving boat with a drone that tries to maintain its GPS position.

[@whosiewunkle1993]

It's probably worthwhile to consider, ahead of time, what you would do if you had a mishap and the drone cut you or one of the others. I mean you're out on a boat and any kind of EMT assistance will likely take much longer to arrive than on land... (assuming you can contact them at all). Even if you are an expert at hand launch/recovery on land, doing it on a boat adds many other variables.

[@waddac2]

I have heard that when hand catching DJI Drone, and inverting the drone to stop it and props it, can cause major issues on motors and props.

[@brettgaramella]

No, that is not correct. I have worked with many drone technicians who use this method to turn off their drones. You could also put your fingers together flat and land it straight into your hand, whichever you feel more comfortable. On a boat, it is easier the way I did it, but practice on land first.

Great.... I live in Helsingborg / Sweden. We have a strait between Sweden and Denmark 6.8 miles and tonight it will be windless I look forward to testing this from my boat and hope that Mavic wants to land safely in my hand. Keep your fingers crossed

[@brettgaramella]

Yeah let me know. Remember, the farther away you can launch and land your drone away from metal the better. Hard to do on a boat but it's possible. By the way, my mom's grandmother is from Aland islands... been there once, was really beautiful.

[@paulsmyers203]

Metal in the boat does not cause the drone to move sporadically. Metal in the boat is not magnetic. If it caused problems for the drone it would cause problems for the boat too. It was entirely because the boat was in motion.

[@michianadroneservicesllc858]

@@brettgaramella I had checked the compass when I was having problems. Everything I saw was okay (Mavic Pro).

[@ANDJVisuals]

Flying in boats is difficult to non-experts pilots, you need perfect control for taking off and landing specially with those fishing poles or metal interference. Great video Brett!

[@ANDJVisuals]

Brett Garamella 😂 Let's think something creative to collab...

[@aprosnowski3351]

I think you might not have considered a thing, while trying to explain the cause of the problem while taking off. There might be some interference with the metal in the boat, but I don't think that affects the drone like that. For me the cause is more likely, that the boat is moving. Since DJI drones use GPS, it tries to stay on that exact spot; it doesn't expect that you are on a moving something. So since the boat is moving forward, the point it tries to keep will always be behind the boat, hence its motion to the back of the boat. I have only seen footage, where you are trying to take off while the boat is moving, so for me this explanation seems more likely, but I might be wrong. You could try it on a stopped boat, or when you take off from your hands and the boat is moving, you should be able to feel, that it tries to get out of your hands, in the opposite of your moving direction.

[@aprosnowski3351]

​@@brettgaramella ​ Oh, so you tested it while stopped as well? All right, well, now I know that the metal can cause things like this as well, thanks! But if it was the metal, shouldn't the app tell you, that there is magnetic interference? If I remember correctly, the app shows an error (MP1).

[@presleygomes636]

watched the whole video, initially sounds very childish type of guidance but I promise every word Brett said will help you avoid 90 accidnt, rest depends on your luck in case if there is a unexpected situation.

Well, the drone wasn't doing that because metal surfaces. It's GPS based, and the boat was moving as I can see on the video. So it tries to stay in the same GPS position, which is moving away from the boat.

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Looks like everyone has covered why the drone hit the back of the boat, or rather the boat hit the drone. GPS or not, the forward momentum of the boat is going to catch up with that drone real quick in the small launch site and with the GPS on the boat is guaranteed to hit the drone before you get it above the gunwale. Thanks for the video though. My daughter was wanting to know how to launch and land on a jet ski and this video gave her some solid ideas on what to do and not do.

Hey brother, loved your video was helpful , but I need little more help , you see I fly my drone from a moving cruise ship or a merchant ship , as I work on them , I need to learn how to land while the ship is moving at like 10 miles and hour, also does the mavic air switch off when u flip it

[@HawaiiJetboat]

Aloha, Need a bit of clarification when you say turn off the Blue Tooth/Wifi are you referring to every phone on board (if possible) or just the phone being used with the drone. Also, I want to keep my boat Garmin GPS Plotter/Navigation on while underway (too many reefs here) so do you have any experience with what happens when that GPS device is live and you are working with the Drone?

[@brettgaramella]

Yeah, turn off the bluetooth on the device you're using with your drone. I don't think that GPS device should have too much affect on it, but you could try with it on versus off to see. Just follow the other tips I recommend and you should be fine. Stay away from metal as much as possible. And do your compass calibration before flying it.

[@NefraRijeka]

Its not the metal...ship is moving and the drone wants to stay on his home position. As you move forward the drone wants to go behind the boat. If the boat was moving backward the drone would go forward.

[@brettgaramella]

Even when the boat came to a complete stop, it still did that. The metal interferes with the drone's compass. I verified this with the drone techs I used to work with.

Hi! HELP# I always fly my drones over the bay, since here in Miami Beach, FL, where I live, is a crowded area with many tall buildings. I already crashed on the water the Mavic Mini and the Mini 2. My mistake is that: While using the left joystick to rotate, I keep lower the altitude by mistake and forget to check it. I get very distracted looking at the video images. Why the drone doesn't have a "Low Terrain warning" or "minimin altitude reached warning" that I could preset to, let's say 10 or 20 meters, so it sends me a warning when it gets below that altitude. Especially over the bay waters where I can't receive it? Thank you!

[@brettgaramella]

The downward sensors have a hard time seeing the water because of the reflection. It is best to always keep visual line of sight with your drone when you're flying low over the water - don't worry so much about your monitor because you can always redo the shot but once your drone crashes, well...

[@ZenzeroCAM]

Drone almost hit me and went off the side so I just had to smack the drone out of the sky with my hand and push it down to the base of the boat so as not to lose the footage or the drone in its entirety.

This video is rather silly. 1. Learn to properly fly with a cheap drone without GPS, optical-flow, or even altitude hold. You do not get any skills flying with GPS. And you are going to need a lot of skills. 2. If you're not rich, don't fly a Mavic off a boat. 3. In fact don't use DJI drones at all. Because they don't have GPS follow-me. Unless you use Litchi or Maven or Dronelink. Yes you can use active-track or fly it manually. But without follow-me the drone can lose you, or you can lose the drone. 4. Any drone should have a home-update and/or return-to-controller option. Plus the option to disable return-to-home to where it took off. Because that will be water.
