I am wondering if there are any devices/accessories which may make my life easier when flying from a moving sailboat. I have had about 30 flights hand launching and catching my drones (phantom 3p, 4a). One time when I was launching from a new boat (which had a different configuration of wires, sails, cables), the drone hit a cable and fell into the water. Then I got 4a so that I could use its obstacle avoidance technology. This is how I almost lost the second drone as I couldn’t “land” since the drone would stop dead before I could reach it.
I know it’s a bit crazy. However, I recognize the risks and understand that I have high chances of losing my drone again.
Nevertheless, I’m hoping there are some accessories which may help me. For instance, I wonder if there is anything like a cable that can be attached to the drone during the launch so that I can hold it until the drone is safe behind the boat, which is when I would release it and it would come back to me..
Also, are there any reliable accessories for floatation when a drone does fall into the water? I have heard about droneraft, but not sure if it provides any reasonable protection.
Thanks!
