    Better to hold it and initiate land with the controller. Motors will power off.
    It will save stress on the motors when they briefly fight to level against your force to flip it over.

      Absolutely. This feature is good to know for emergencies when landing normally isn't possible.

    just land in the palm of your hand. Gyro shutdowns aren't good for the motors or hardware. If you fumble, hesitate or make any mistake, unfriendly terrain will be the least of your worries.

      Always disable motors and catch it when it's close, much safer.

      If you have to kill it from manual mode. You can double tap the start stop button. But it will freefall and you'll literally need to catch it.
      If you're unsure just flip to normal mode and land it in your hand like a regular Gimbal Drone.

    This is not the way. Just place your open palm a few inches below the drone and then tell it to land.

    just land it right in your hand, not problem at all, actually much easier with avata2 than it'^s with mini series, propeller are above on the body , not possible to touch in your hand. i always hand take off and land my avata2 , never touched the train.

    The first Avada, I do this all the time with, the second one is low profile, and be careful doing this with the motion controller because you’re not thinking you move your hand and I cut my finger and the palm of my hand next to my thumb really bad, it broke up propeller. Number two is not designed for this at all the first one has a lot more room to grab.

    • @readysetdrone
      @readysetdrone  Před 15 dny

      Yes, this " hand grab" landing is only for emergencies.
      This Motion Controller 3 actually has a safely feature, so if you move your hand, the drone won't move unless you are slightly pressing the accelerator.

    Is this impacting motors long-term given they go nuts for short moment to counteract thus manevour?

    • @readysetdrone
      @readysetdrone  Před měsícem

      Yes, it's not recommended to do this all the time, but it is good to know whenever you need to quickly stop the motors in normal or sport modes in an emergency.

    • @markus4979
      @markus4979 Před měsícem

      Problem is nobody mentions this and everybody copies everybody with this approach and ofcourse gets used to it due to convenience (especially popular mavic drones).
      Tbh. I fly since many years and myself only read about this in a comment the other day and realised it makes completely sense, will avoid this and only use when really needed. User should be made aware of this implication, besides risk of getting hurt.😂

      Landing it is ideal, but if the ground is rocky or grassy, or if there's a dog wanting to try to eat it, or if you're on a rocking boat, etc., it might be better to catch it.
