How to fly a DRONE off a BOAT

- This video is a short tutorial on how to fly a drone from a boat. This video covers take off and landing, settings and safety planning. The drone I use in this video is a DJI mavic air drone. The polarizer filters I use are the polar pro cinema series ND and polarizer filters.
Flying a drone from a boat can be a great way to get amazing pictures and videos. It can be challenging however and extreme caution should be taken when attempting to launch or land a drone off a boat. Hand launching and catching a drone can be extremely dangerous and I do not recommend it for anyone except the highly experienced with drones.
Obey all local and national drone laws, always practice extreme saftey when operating drones. Seek professional instruction before learning to fly your drone. Do not harass wildlife with your drone. Never fly in national parks. Use an app like airmap to plan flights and avoid protected airspace.

There is a ton of bad information out there about boating with drones but this one is excellent. I learned a lot. Thanks for posting!
Cool thanks! I am glad you enjoyed!
Instead of turning return to home off, you can set a dynamic home point so that the AC uses your current controller GPS location as home.
thats a great idea, I will look into that. Im not sure how to make that setting on a MA. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
Are you sure that will be dynamic along the controller while you are moving?
It would be great
@@Beniamin1968 I believe it updates the home every 2 seconds based on the controller location. However, once RTH is triggered, the home point will no longer be updated. The AC will return the the last home point before the RTH was triggered .
Ya I agree, I also do that :)
that ONLY works when you use active track mode
Great video joe. Thanks for sharing
Very nice video and clear explanation. Certainly very useful for my next flight practice. Thanks !!
Thanks Joe! Great Vid.
Great job, great video. Very straightforward. Thank you!
Very good information!👍🏻
Thanks for the explanation, much appreciate 👍🏻😃
I sail out of Oceanside and now I'm going to get me a Air 2s drone! Great video, Joe!
Thank you so much!
Very helpful video:)
Great video liked and subscribed! We used to have a sailboat and loved to sail around that area great tips will keep in mind for next flight I do on my boat
Awesome thanks! What drone do you fly
The Mavic air
Thank you so much!! I have a Air 2s and getting ready to take it out on the boat. When the weather is better in Saint Petersburg Florida. I also have drone floats to keep the drone on top of the water in case it lands or needs to land on water!! I would also advise getting anti cut gloves to hand launch or hand land a drone. My Air 2s has almost cut my finger tip off while trying to hand land it!!!
Cool, you mean like kitchen knife gloves? thats actually a good idea
Yes, I am a electrician so we use cut resistant gloves everyday. I use cut resistant construction gloves to launch and catch my Air 2s. That is after almost getting my fingertips cut off in a high wind landing situation.
Awesome drone tutorial beginners like me!
Thanks man. Useful. Doing this today 😎👍
Good info!!
Thanks a lot!
Very informative vid. Thanks!
Wow thanks, glad you enjoyed
Great information Joe! :)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Great review
Thank you!
This is a really useful video. It would be good to also include updating the home point in case the drone is lost. That has happened to me. Also, the using the map is different when you're a long way away from the home point. All I had to do in that case was to zoom out and there was the drone. Great tips, thank you very much.
Yeah good call
helpful! thanks!
Glad it helped!
You can fly over national parks, just cannot land or takeoff within a national park
Yes you are correct. Some may consider launching off the boat not actually launching off park grounds because the drone technically did not touch any part of the park. Not sure how that explanation would be received by a Park Ranger though. I just play it safe and do not fly in the Park boundaries, especially considering how much footage I post online. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeOceanside yes that is interesting, I am not sure I've ever seen anything saying yay or nay about that specific scenario from a boat, but like you said better safe than sorry, and a lot of people enforcing drone laws unfortunately don't know the actual law either
What’s crazy is that I plan to use it to film my Grady as well lol I just ordered the mini 4 pro
Great video very useful
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
great - very helpful....
cool thanks, glad you liked. Thanks for watching
Very good!
Thanks!
I need one of these for my fishing videos.
Yeah, drones are fun. They add a cool element to the video, would be cool to see you hauling in a big fish from the air.
What about flying tips for capturing moving boats? Fly sideways? Backwards?
Great video but I realized some of it is common sense too..you definitely need to turn off rth if you're flying on a moving boat 😁
Yeah true, all common sense but I have made most of these mistakes before. Thanks for watching
Great vid. Ive just started flying my drone fro my boat (a dji magic pro). Best thing i did was purchase a grab handle so that the props don't cut my finger tips. Also noticed that if i grab the handle and tip the drone upside down it automatically turns off like your method.
Wow a grab handle is a great idea, I have never seen that before
where do you get a grab handle? please & thank you
@@speliotis I bought mine from eBay 😃👍
@@TropicalZooms Thank you just bought one....
@@speliotis Yes. I think I just searched for “DJI Mavic pro handle” and a whole list popped up
Thanks for the tips, time to test! Cheers from 🇳🇨!
Have fun
Nice video
thanks!
Polaroid Filters should be CPL (or ND). I am a greenhorn at filters and I have DJI Mini 3 Pro
Ayy man, I work on a ship I cant fly my mini 2 at ports, but how to fly it mid sea without mobile network
Turn it into sport mode and fly backwards. Sport mode kills the avoidance system
My drone checks the gyro at startup. The boat platform is to untable. It needs a earth ground stable place. Does some one know how to skip the gyro check? I have a MJX
Hello, excuse me , i dont know if this issue has been already discussed, i mean when drone is following your boat for a mile and battery will be empty to the point of RTH , what happens it will go back from where you started or get back where you actually are ?
at 2:34 I talk about this, If you are moving in the boat you should turn off RTH, or the drone will attempt to fly back to where you originally launched from. Thanks for watching
Joe Oceanside i have MA2 and could t turn off RTH i am afraid
When launching from a boat, anyone else experience the error message "strong magnetic interference" which ultimately prevents the drone from taking off? I've not been able to take off from my 27' boat because of this. Seems no matter where I stand on the boat it won't take off due to this magnetic interference.
can you fly 100Km from land?
What drone are you using in the video
In this video I am using the DJI Mavic air
What kind of drone do you use?
A dji mavic air
In the old days only rich people could charter a helicopter for thousands $$ Now anyone can get amazing footage
DO Not launch the Drone from a moving boat this is an absolute No-No as well I can't believe you left the side of the video. Had my first KIA drowning doing this. Sunk like a stone too so there was no way to recover it.
Number 1 ...get rid of that awful newsboy hat
LOL, not sure what video your watching. It's a baseball hat style. But yeah I don't like newsboy hats either
