5 Ways To Hand Catch Your Mavic Pro

In this video i go over how to catch your Mavic Pro in five different ways. I test each way and help you get to the bottom of the question... What is the BEST way to hand catch your Dji Mavic pro.
Catch your Mavic Pro AT YOUR OWN RISK.
That being said it is really easy to hand catch when there are not gusty wind conditions. I hope this video helps you get more familiar with different ways to catch your drone.
Help me make more videos like this by picking up some custom drawn (by me) drone merch at - teespring.com/stores/world-of...
My preferred method is way #3 and way #1.
Check out my newest video on the THREE BEST WAYS -

haha, thanks bro! I've been hand catching with auto land since I had my drone, always sketches me out haha! when it doesn't turn off I'm afraid to re-release just incase it cuts off at that moment too. When it doesn't shut off I've always had to tip upside down, and even then it fights it super crazy as you can imagine and makes onlookers weary haha. But now so simple, I can grab, and hold down! simple. cheers mate.

The other day I hiked way up to a ridge that I wanted to fly from. It was a killer place to fly, but there was just no piece of granite or small , flat ground to take off from. I can usually find some little place to take off and land. I ended up not flying there because I was afraid of losing it in the backcountry . I wasn’t sure if it would remember home point. I have really never needed to hand launch/catch before. Searched and found your vids. You’re super funny dude ... easy to watch your vids. Just wanted to see it done , before trying it myself. Looks easy ... I’ll be doing it all the time now. I subbed because of your hilarious narration along with the information. It’s funny how a lot of people make tutorials trying to sound like some serious professor. Your vid style is great, keep it up. So many people making comments about eye safety. Not trying to sound like your mom or anything, but as someone who lost one eye to a framing gun years ago ... might not be a bad idea to wear some good shades. Have a great one.

@SeanOzz 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. It defiantly wouldn’t hurt to have some shades on or something of that nature. The more you catch it the easier it will become for you as well. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Have a great weekend.

Great vid Sean, thanks for taking the time to investigate all those. I hand catch a lot too as I am often out in the mountains and other areas with no options. I clipped my fingers once already, but am seeing some good ideas and tips in your video and in the comments. Gotta give it more of a chance. I have been looking at floaters for when I am out on the water too, as I am often stand up paddling and not on a boat, so it's either hand catch or land on the board - ahhh, hmmm, not really!

You should test the suicide technique for landing in long grass. Go into DJI Go 4 settings. Ensure emergency rotor cutoff is turned on, which allows you to turn off the rotors mid flight by moving both stick to the bottom opposite corners. Lower drone to 3-5 feet above LONG grass. Engage emergency cutout. Drone falls into grass cushion.

Great video! Wish I had watched this before I tried landing mine on the back of our boat this weekend. I have been flying RC planes for 20+ years where we avoid putting our hands near spinning props at all costs. So I have always been against hand catching. With sensors turned off, I was trying to land on my landing pad that was on the back deck of our ski boat. with the drone about a foot from the pad it seemed to hesitate coming down the rest of the way for a few seconds. Those few seconds were long enough for it to drift off center of the pad due to wind or boat drift. When it finally came down, only two feet landed on the deck and the drone tumbled into the water and sank 25 feet to the bottom of the lake. Those few seconds would have been enough to safely hand catch and land. Lesson learned. And it was an expensive one. Hand catching can be safe - especially if you practice the skill and get good at it on land before trying it over water. I paid $180 to have a diver retrieve the drone but unfortunately at least one of the PC boards is fried and will need to be replaced.

i used to fly RC planes many many years ago so i feel you. i tried landing on a boat in the ocean many years ago when the 1st mavic was released and almost lost it into the pacific. so hand landing became a thing and it really is just too easy not to do it. i have a few videos on it and doing it safely with the mini 2 and zoom, and other drones. a good thing to have up your sleeve.

Great tutorial. I hand catch quite often and the one thing I would add is to always take off and catch above head height not level with your face for safety.

Great video Sean. I'd like to hand catch my Mavic as well, as this would eliminate me having to carry my heli-pad and set it up on my hiking trips. Definitely a time saver, though the thought of it does make me nervous. I might give it a try today though, as it seems to be a pretty calm day here in Austin.

@SeanOzz 6 жыл бұрын

Nice, I almost moved to Austin recently. We decided to go to the mountains instead. i am working on a new video after months of hand catching with what i feel is the easiest (hint i think it's #3 on this video) just turn off the one bottom protection sensor. just be safe and if it feels wrong then just land it on the ground.

@Dan-lz1ix 6 жыл бұрын

Sean, I just finished my tests by doing three very easy and successful takeoff and landings by using #3 (which I feel is the safest). NO MORE HELIPAD FOR ME!!! This is going to be great! No more caring, setting up, tearing down and cleaning off the spikes. Not only is it going to be a time saver for me, but I can add another minute to my flight time and take off/land anywhere. Thanks again for the video!

@SeanOzz 6 жыл бұрын

awesome!!! glad it was helpful. there are spots on my hikes i fly that a helipad would be useless. so this will help you fly in so many more areas as well! Thanks for sharing!

@Dan-lz1ix 6 жыл бұрын

Just wanted to thank you again Sean for the video. Turning off "Landing Protection" is the best way (safest way) to catch the Mavic. I've even done it in strong, gusty winds with confidence. One just has to be aware that this also turns off the protection of stopping above the ground when doing a fast descent. However, I don't fly mine like I stole it, so that isn't an issue for me. Hand launching and catching the Mavic makes me enjoy it even more than I did (and I didn't think that was possible). Fly Safe!

@SeanOzz 6 жыл бұрын

Awesome!! i have been slowly working on a video all about that way! that and showing a few other weird little things you can do but i don't recommend. you are suppose to turn that off over water anyway so i just leave it off all the time. i never use return to home anyway and it benefits return to home the most.

Thanks for the vid Ozz, good stuff! I’m fairly new to the game so you might have saved me a finger or two...lol. I love that DJI shirt you’re wearing, where can I get one? I’m also ordering a shirt from your merch!......Well, I tried to order a sweatshirt but I couldn’t find my state which is CA, California. Would it be because I’m currently in Mexico?

I'm not sure why the shirt thing isn't working correctly. It's a 3rd party seller I just send images I drew to. The dji shirt was sent to me by dji when they jacked up my original mavic pro and had to send me a replacement. Glad this video was helpful. I have two other more recent hand catch videos I think might be better made and more helpful.

Cool video! I wonder if it was a safety thing that the motors did not power down while using the auto land feature until you actually commanded it to do so by using the joy stick. Maybe to insure that you have a proper grip before it shuts down? Could be a good test.

Thanks for the methodical testing and best options- I will be using #3 with a Mini3 Pro. Before shutting the drone off, I'll just make a new habit of turning Landing Protection back on. I've seen some grab and flip just upside down, but am not comfortable with that-

I’d highly recommend not doing that with a 3 axis gimbal. Made a video explaining why but to sum it up. It can damage your gimbal.
