There are several reasons to buy one of these. They are very lightweight and compact and easy to fold away afterwards The short legs of the Mavic Pro means that on any sort of grass longer than a golf green you stand a chance of wrecking blades on take off and landing, pop this down for a nice flat surface. Even slightly long grass holds onto water for a surprisingly long time after wet weather and the quad's props can spray water everywhere when low to the ground which is not a good plan with fans sucking in surrounding air to keep all that electronic wizardry cool! The return to home function works in several ways but fine tuning is achieved by the Mavic storing pictures as it takes off to compare with the landing site when the RTH is enabled. Adding a landing pad which has high contrast against the background will help in getting RTH landings within a few inches of the take off point. In my experience, when you get one you will wonder why you didn't get one before.Read full review

Very light to carry, and easy to deploy when needed. A little fiddly to fold back up but after a few goes, its gets easier. The landing pad itself is just the right size, (for my drones) and make it ideal to form a suitable take off and landing site. The pegs to tether the pad to the ground are easily pushed into the ground on soft grass but would not be suitable on harder ground, so some form of weights would probably be required? Overall a good product which I would recommend.

Has come in handy for a couple of places where landing has been a bit rough. Recommend.
