A question:
I am using a nomojello connector and a ND filter that really makes the GoPro drop below the landing skids. I know that some people have used either swim noodles or pipe insulation to raise up the Phantom and others have rigged up new legs. I'm trying to avoid adding more stuff to my Phantom (especially items that can get in the way of the shot).
It's easy for me to have a little system that raises up the skids on take off and leaves a little space for the hanging GoPro - kind of like a launch pad. But I'm not nearly a good enough pilot to land it in that situation. So what I'm wondering is if it will mess with the Phantom if I "catch" it. I've done this before when I got into a pickle. Basically I hover the phantom at about 6.5-7 feet and reach up to grab it and then kill the throttle. It seems to work fine but I'm worried about messing with the IMU and making it think that I've crashed.
Thoughts?
