There's been lots of discussions on the rights & wrongs of hand catching the H in this forum....<snip>...
I also routinely practice catching the drone with hand. Everyone should try that is even remotely coordinated. I basically bring it down t a little above my head, walk towards it, put my hand very loosely on arm/legand have controller in other hand where my thumb is close to red shut off button. Then hold down red button and after about one second firmly grasp the drone by arm/leg. It will quickly slow down props and then shut off. Second time I tried to do a catch I grabbed it before trying to turn it off and it fought me vigorously like th4 other posts said. I had to set controller down and use other hand very carefully to shut off drone power. Then went back and recalibrate did everything to be safe.

I almost always hand catch my Phantom as a matter or course, but have only ever hand caught my H twice. This is because I've found that the H is much better at ground landing having a much bigger footprint than the Phantom...so is much less likely to tip over on landing.
So, while I've no problem in hand catching the H, I'll only do it if the circumstances of the landing area/area of operations makes me suspect that a ground landing would be eventful. Hand catching the H is not something I would normally seek to do if a good ground landing is do-able...which is most of the time.
