FAQs

Does this pad come with ground stakes?

No, it does not require stakes. The zinc-coated weighted perimeter cable keeps the pad held down naturally.

Can I use this on uneven terrain?

Yes, it is designed to settle on most outdoor surfaces, though flatter ground is recommended for the most stable landing.

Is the pad waterproof?

The materials are water-resistant and durable, making it suitable for damp grass or sand.

What drones is this compatible with?

It is optimized for mid-series drones, such as the DJI Spark and the Mavic series.

How do I clean the pad?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away mud or debris. Always air dry the pad completely before storing it in the carry bag.

Troubleshooting

Pad will not lay flat

Ensure the weighted perimeter cable is not twisted or kinked; smooth it out manually along the ground.

Difficulty folding the pad

Practice the 'twist and fold' motion slowly; ensure all three internal circles are properly aligned before pressing into the carry bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is simple: remove the pad from its carrying case, and it will automatically expand into its 3-foot diameter shape. Because of the weighted perimeter cable, it requires no assembly or ground mounting. To fold, simply grasp opposite sides and twist in a figure-eight motion to overlap the rings into a smaller circle. Compatibility is best for mid-sized drones like the DJI Spark, Mavic Air, Mavic Pro, and Mavic 2/3 series. For care, shake off any loose dirt or debris after landing. If the pad gets muddy, wipe it down with a damp cloth and ensure it is completely dry before folding and storing it in the carry bag to prevent mildew.
