abunda_amazon_reviews Love the size for my Inspire2. But admittedly, I had to look on YouTube to figure out how to fold that sucker up! You would think its easy but only after you know the routine. But Great build quality, very happy with it. And dont skimp, buy the 5 foot one like this one, 8 is overkill i'm sure. 3 would be just too small no matter what you're flying. You want to bring that aircraft in, and land it right away on clean cover, not play around like a "crane game" or something trying to center mark something.;;March 10, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Perfect!;;Joe LPD;;;This is an extremely visible launching pad for your drone, and is large enough to make takeoff/landing convenient. I'm using a Yuneec Typhoon H, which has a fairly sizeable footprint, and positioning it just so on landing can be somewhat difficult on the smaller footprint launch pads. This one is lightweight, but has a heavy cable ring around it. It compacts quickly and easily, but stays in place even when the hexacopter propellors are running at full speed for takeoff. Some may wonder why they should use a launch pad... I use it to prevent the dust that would otherwise get kicked up during launch and landing from gumming up the motors, and my existing controller makes it more difficult to launch the drone by hand (or perform catch landings.). It is high quality, and you get what you pay for, but I am docking it one star for the price... For $100, it isn't going to be easy to justify for all drone users.;;August 1, 2018;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Good for drone maintenance, but maybe a little pricey.;;Banjo;;;This is awesome for my multirotors and helicopters. Easily seen from the air for spotting your landing area, weighted on the edges so it will not blow around, folds up nicely into a smaller package with included carrying case. The only negative is the price. It is pretty pricey. But it is high quality too! If you fly multirotors I highly recommend this pad!;;October 8, 2016;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;You need this for your multirotors!;;Hurricane Dave;;;I purchased this for business use and also have the smaller 3' one. I love these but I still have to try three or four times to get it folded correctly. I'm not sure why I struggle with it every time. They are good quality though and the outer ring seems to be weighted sufficiently. They do have stake down straps but do not come with any stakes.;;May 19, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Good quality material, sufficiently weighted outer ring;;Steven S.;;;Both the landing pad and carry case are very well made. I have an inspire 2 and often times have to operate at dirt or sand takeoff and landing locations so I needed a pad large enough to accommodate the larger UAS. I deducted one star because of the cost, I’m sure this manufacturer will adjust as soon as China starts selling them for $25, until then they have the market.;;November 1, 2018;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Great solution for larger UAS;;Coastal;;;Very well made, and doesn't move in breezy conditions. The lighter-weight pads have to be held down with stakes, which would be a pain and might damage the low props on a Mavic if they're sticking up too high. I'm a beginner pilot, so I'm glad I got the 5-foot version. Even that is not easy to hit when it's gusty.;;January 22, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Pricey, but works great;;Roland;;;I like it a lot 5’ is a great diameter to see as well as land on. If I were to have one issue it would have been nice to have a more defined North Arrow. The reason is that if you have a planned flight say to the south east, you take off to say 10’ have a slight check of your drone, then rotate to SE and go. It is not easy to see a north indication to get approximate rotation to send drone off. 10 feet does not seem like much but the four arrows look the same.;;September 29, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;I like it a lot 5’ is a great diameter to ...;;Brian Z;;;I bought the landing pad because I had some winter work lined up. I didn't want to have my drone landing in snow. The Hoodman 5 foot landing pad is constructed of very high quality material. This thing is going to be around for some time. I can't believe that I have waited so long to purchase a landing pad.;;January 26, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;I can't believe I waited so long;;KConley
