Taking off from a speedboat on indian ocean ?

[soamz]

What would you do if you have a Phantom 4 Pro and you want to take off from the speed boat which normally moves at speed of 40-50Kmph and want to get the active track of the speed boat and other near by boats for some nice footages ?

How would you make sure, you bring it back and catch it back in the muddle of the ocean ?

Best would be if you are on a stationary boat and take off from there. You need to be a good pilot to try such risks. Best

You'd probably crash on take off, it would be near impossible to start up active track while chasing the boat at full speed and you'd never be able to land the phantom (in any way) at that speed.

Seriously, you'd actually try to fly forward at 50kph and hand catch the Phantom while bouncing up and down in a boat? Also you really think the Phantom is going to just stay still for a take off on a bouncing boat at 50kph and some how instantly compensate for a 50kph wind when it tries to take off? None of that is going to work.

Here is something you need to consider:

Let's say you put it on the back of the boat and click auto take off: it'll do what it does. Take off and hover., in place. Hover right where it took off. Meanwhile you are still going 50 Kph forward. It would be like it suddenly hit 50 to the rear.

Be aware of that.
