The Drone Launch Pad from Hoodman provides a 2 foot surface for takeoff and landing of remote controlled helicopters and multi-rotor drones. Use of the Launch Pad protects both drones and attached optics from flying debris. The Launch Pad is made of bright orange polyester, which makes landing easier due to increased visibility. The orange coloring also helps to notify others that a drone is being used in the area. The pad features a 1.5 lb galvanized steel weighted perimeter to prevent movement during use, without the need for stakes. When not in use, the Launch Pad folds down just like a collapsible circular reflector disc to be stored in the included case.

Features:

• Easy setup. Springs into shape when released from carry bag.
• 1.5 lbs galvanized steel perimeter weight keeps Drone Launch Pad in place without stakes.
• Keeps your camera lens clean during take off and landing.
• Protects rotors from tall grass and pebble strikes.
• Prevents dirt from sucking through motor bearings and causing premature motor failure.
• Rugged, bright orange denier polyester pad with black heliport markings and compass headings is easily found when returning to base.

• Launch Pad carry bag serves as a notice to pedestrians of a drone  flying in the area. (Just place empty bag handles over a tripod. Tripod not included)
