So here we go my first question!
While researching the drone I was going to buy i watched alot of videos on the drones on the market, what i noticed was a lot people who used landing mats.
Now im not sure if this question has been asked but what is the benifit of using a landing mat compared to a flat surface? TIA for your reply.

They can provide a clean surface to land and take off from. I used mine today, the ground was very dry and dusty as we’ve had no rain for weeks and the mat helps reduce blowing dust and debris into delicate areas. Also if you are taking off from grass, it again provides a flat surface and stops you blades hitting the grass and potentially getting tangled.

I use this one, it folds flat and is heavy enough to not require pegs.

Main reason I use one is a lot of dirt, fine grit and dust can get kicked up taking off and landing. Don’t want that getting into the motors and other moveable parts !
Mat stops it …

I bought a landing mat in a fit of enthusiasm when I first started drone flying but rarely use it these days. I find it heavy to carry around. If there is a handy clean flat surface available I may use it but nine times out of ten I will take off and land by hand. I fly a DJI Flip and Mavic 3 Pro.
