If you’re serious about drones, this is the one. - I have both the medium and the large diameter version of these pads and though they seem pricey compared to many other choices, I haven’t regretted the purchase of either one iota. When I’m flying the little Mavic 3 Pro, the smaller pad is more than sufficient for my needs. The larger one gets used when I fly the big Matrice 210 V210. They are easy to see and are very helpful calibrating your RTH fix as you begin your flight. The cameras are able lock in on the contrast of this pad easily making pinpoint landings as easy as pie. I fly in dusty conditions more often than not, this pad really helps to keep my birds and the cameras free of unwanted debris which is a big deal to me, especially with the big drone and the high dollar optics onboard. The setup couldn’t be easier, just pull it from the well made nylong carry bag and it pretty much unfolds itself whether you’re ready or not! Getting it back in the bag is really easy once you figure out the method. I have a lot of portable photographic shades and difusers, but this uses a slightly different technique to fold it properly. So, read the instructions, or better yet, watch it done on a video and you’ll figure it out pretty quick. Otherwise you will look like a goober flailing about and attracting the unwanted attention of everybody from miles around. (Don’t ask how I know that) It’s super stable on the ground even in really gusty wind conditions - like the ones you probably shouldn’t be flying in - which is another advantage of it’s stout build and heavy weight. The very first portable drone/heli pad I tried blew away on me at the first wind gust. I didn’t even notice during flight, that’s how I ended up with these. Well made, rugged and easily visible from the air. It’s a really good choice if you’re serious about flying your drones and you’ll look more professional too. Review: Worth Every Penny - You get what you pay for. - I'm a relatively new drone pilot, having started flying in December 2020, and prefer to have a launch/landing pad to operate from versus rough-fielding it. Like many people, I tried to make do with cheaper/inferior designs, but the wind and terrain made that dicey at best. After reading reviews, and doing some research, I decided to order the Hoodman 3-foot landing pad. Cons: 1) It can be a bit fiddly to get back into the carrying bag. (Hoodman has a video showing the technique linked on their site.) 2) The shoulder strap could be a bit better. Add another 8-10" in length and possibly some sort of coating to keep it from sliding off the shoulder. (Note: I'm 6'4" tall so the strap length is likely to be fine for the average sized user.) Pros: 1) Exceedingly easy to set up. Pull it out of the bag and literally toss it on the ground. 2) Stays put in the wind. The weighted perimeter keeps it from blowing around without having to stake it in place. 3) Water-resistant. Keeps your drone off the damp grass and doesn't soak up the moisture like some of the folding designs do. 4) Highly visible from altitude. The safety orange, and the size, make it quite easy to see from a distance, especially from the drone's camera perspective. 5) Compact in the carry case. Small enough to keep in the back of my car so I don't forget and leave it at home. 6) Quality materials and thoughtful design. Unlike a few other pads I looked at, you can see and feel the quality and tell that the designers put some thought into this instead of just building a "me too" copy of other's designs in a race to the lowest price. This is probably the best accessory I've purchased for my drone so far. I'm not comfortable with launching from, and landing in, my hand, so the 3' Hoodman Landing Pad allows me to fly from locations that I normally wouldn't due to moisture, tall grass, and sand/dirt/dust. I ended-up getting the 3' version (versus the 2') for the extra weight and the larger "target". I fly a DJI Mavic Air 2 and there is plenty of space on the pad so you don't need to venture towards the edges and take a chance of clipping grass with the props or pulling dirt/dust into the motors. ## Features - Easy set up. Rugged 600 denier orange polyester landing pad springs into shape when released from 20 inch carry bag - No stakes required. 8 pound weighted zinc coated patented perimeter cable keeps landing pad in place throughout takeoff and landing - Keeps drone clean. Takeoff and landing drone thrust can sand blast camera lens, motor bearings and rotors - Protects rotors. Tall grass and pebble strikes are eliminated - Quick clean up. Components clean up quickly with a wet towel. Urethane coated pad bottom seals out morning dew ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01DKL3SEK | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Battery Cell Composition | Zinc | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,471 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #2 in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) | | Brand | Hoodman | | Color | orange | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Control Type | Remote Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 808 Reviews | | Included Components | Carrying Case | | Item Weight | 5 pounds | | Manufacturer | Hoodman | | Material | Nylon | | Model Number | HDLP | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | HDLP | | Remote Control Technology | Bluetooth | | Skill Level | All | | Special Feature | Weighted, High-visibility orange, Collapsible | | Special Features | Weighted, High-visibility orange, Collapsible | | Supported Image Format | JPEG | | UPC | 017932334523 | | Wireless Communication Technology | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Hoodman - **Color:** orange - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth - **Control Type:** Remote Control - **Included Components:** Carrying Case - **Item Weight:** 5 pounds - **Remote Control Technology:** Bluetooth - **Skill Level:** All - **Special Feature:** Weighted, High-visibility orange, Collapsible ## Images ![5 Foot Weighted UAV Drone Landing Pad fits Inspire 3, Inspire 2, Inspire 1, No Stakes Required, collapses to 1/3 of deployed size - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RAs-wks1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made, rugged, and very visible from the air.

The size is large enough to land safely on over unfriendly ground. The two different colored top/bottom sides provide high contrast targets that are easy to spot on camera. It folds up into something about the size of a large slice of pizza and is weighted, just unfold it and toss it on the ground. I accidentally left it out overnight when it rained and discovered that this is rather water proof. I am very happy with this purchase. Also, no need to worry about the wind blowing it away. The night I left it outside we had surface winds gusting to 20 Mph, it did not move from where i placed it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hoodman Drone Landing Pad fit ranges dji inspire through dji matrice 3, 5-Foot Diameter, Durable, Weighted-No Stakes Required-high visibility-orange/black pad-collapses to one third of deployed size - Sky High Bull's-Eye Drone Ground Control Point GCP - UAV Aerial Target for Mapping & Surveying (10 Pack) | Center Eyelet Numbered 0-9 (Black/White Markers) | Pix4D & DroneDeploy Compatible - Sky High Bull's-Eye Drone Ground Control Point GCP - UAV Aerial Target for Mapping & Surveying (10 Pack) | Center Eyelets Numbered 0-9 (Black/WhiteMarkers) | Pix4D & DroneDeploy Compatible --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/28152049-5-foot-weighted-uav-drone-landing-pad-fits-inspire-3](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/28152049-5-foot-weighted-uav-drone-landing-pad-fits-inspire-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
