Drone landing pad (self lock and deploy)

thingiverse

This is a mechanical landing pad for launching compact drones. It was designed on the size of a Mavic Mini, but can also accommodate larger drones. Eventually it is enough to build wider jaws, I will add them later together with a cover for a more comfortable transport. I suggest adding some rubber pads as shown in the photo, as they are already foreseen in the design phase. I decided to make it because normal landing pads risk interfering with the gimbals of very low drones like mine. Plus it's a good drone stand! Here the test: https://youtu.be/PJ1MjUZi0nI
