Advice Needed: I need a portable landing pad/area...

[EMCSQUAR]

I use this 6ft carpet circle, easy to roll out and soft for landing.

I went to Home Depot and bought a 4' x 4' x 1" sheet foam insulation with one side that has tin-foil on its face. I cut it in half and put the halls back to back with the tin-foil pointing outwards. Then I used some Gorilla Tape (super heavy-duty duck tape) around the edges. I went around twice to make sure it stays.
You could use 1 sheet also but 2 are better in windy conditions. It only weighs about a pound and is easy to carry. You can install a rope handle on two sides if you want.

It's just too easy to tip over when landing - I always hand catch, and use my case for takeoff when there's no hard surface around.

I went to Home Depot and bought a sheet of 1 1/2" insulation. It's the styrofoam type. I cut the sheet into 2' x 2' pieces and then use heavy duty duct tape and taped them together. It's great because it's solid and supper light.
I also cut a circle out of one of the 2' x 2' pieces but it was so light it would lift up a little when I was about 1' up. So I added a bunch of aluminum nails that were about 8" long and 1/8" thick, and I just pushed them into the side to add some weight. They work great.

Same here. I try to keep debris kick-up to a minimum. On take-off, it's important to get as level as reasonably possible. I hand catch as well.

Hey everybody,

I need a portable landing pad for my P2. If you have built one or bought one can you please post a photo and information about what you've got? Thanks!

As someone mentioned in another thread...use a rubber mat. Protects camera and gear, and is very portable.
