In the following video I will show you how to compactly combine the drone landing site in just 3 simple steps. In the beginning it’s not so easy to fold it, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s easy.

What do you need a drone pad for?

megaadmin — Sun, 22 Sep 2019 18:27:05 +0000

A lot of drone pilots wonder if you really need a drone landing site. Why take off from a landing pad and not directly from the ground? Is a drone pad just a gimmick or a real must-have?

Practical helper on uneven ground, snow, sand and meadows

Of course, a drone can also be launched directly from the ground, for example from a parking lot or the mown, short lawn.

But if you want to launch the drone from high grass, loose leaves, sandy soils or snow, you will notice what a drone landing site makes sense for. Whirled snow, sand or loose leaves get into the propellers and long grasses and uneven ground make landing difficult. Those who want to take off and land safely in such adverse environments can either use a large cardboard or sit on a compact folding drone landing pad.

In addition, the landing pad can be optically recognized by various drones and can be used for the precise, automatic landing approach. A camera built into the drone detects the landing site and the drone lands specifically on this surface.

A drone landing site is therefore not just a toy, but offers great added value for the drone pilot.

Different sizes – which drone pad is right for my drone?

Foldable drone landing sites are available in different sizes, from 55cm, 75cm or 110cm diameter. At first glance, 110cm diameters look very large and some would intuitively prefer a smaller model, but I can only strongly recommend the large drone landing site. 55cm or 75cm in diameter are quite small, considering that the most common drones already have a diameter of about 40cm. If there is even more wind, the landing approach on the small landing pads becomes millimeter work.

The 5€ surcharge for the biggest variant is well invested money. Since the drone landing pad can be folded to save space, you won’t lose much more space than for the smaller variants.

Must-have accessories for the Fimi X8 SE and other drones

megaadmin — Sun, 08 Sep 2019 16:46:11 +0000

After a long shipping process I finally held her in my hands at the beginning of August: My Fimi X8 SE drone. About one month after the first flight I already gained some experience and bought some accessories. In this list I present my favorite accessories for consumer drones.

Carrying case

My Fimi X8 SE (Amazon Affiliate Link) was delivered in a very neat and pretty cardboard box, but I wouldn’t take the small drone with me on longer trips. Too big would be the danger that the drone would be damaged in cargo or luggage compartments. However, the manufacturer HSKB sells tailor-made cases with suitably cut out interiors for various makes of drone at Amazon. This is also the case for the Fimi X8 SE (Amazon Affiliate Link).

SD-Card

When it comes to SD cards, I’ve relied on SanDisk’s Extreme PRO series of fast cards for years. I’ve always used them in SLRs and actioncams. Since most drones record in 4K with at least 30fps, you also need a fast memory card. Slower memory cards won’t fit the data dimensions and your video will jerk or the recording will be completely interrupted.

Drone license plate

If you want to fly a drone like the DJI Mavic Pro or the Fimi X8 SE (Amazon Affiliate Link) in Germany, you have to attach a small sign with the name and address of the pilot. You can order these “license plates” at the dealer “Copterfarm” online at Amazon and personalize them with your data. Simply stick on at a suitable place and take off.

Landing spot

At first I didn’t realize why they needed a landing strip for the drone. Finally, I thought, I could take off and land on all flat surfaces. That’s only half true, because at the latest in high grass, deep leaves, snow or in the sand you will have problems. Loose ground is whirled up, dirty drone and camera, propellers get stuck in grass and leaves. For this reason alone, a drone landing site makes sense. Many drones, including the Fimi X8 SE (Amazon Affiliate Link), use optical sensors to detect the landing site and then use it for a precise automatic approach.

I decided for a foldable landing place with a diameter of 110 cm. That sounds very big at first, but with moderate wind I was glad to have decided for the big version. The landing is much easier than having only 50 cm space available.
