- launch pad take off pad
I just picked up the 5ft version today at Samys Camera in Culver City, CA.
Can't wait to try it out tomorrow.
(Guess I'll probably just use the 3ft version to travel with if I have to pack it in a suit case to fly on an airline.)

5 Ft Diameter Drone Launch Pad - HDLP (On backorder - you may still order this product) in Launch Pad
LOL!: 3-foot diam. pad: $79.99; 5-foot diam pad: $129.99; 8-foot diam. pad: $429.99 !! Must be lots of folks with lots of disposable income to spend this kind of money on orange plastic.
Someone posted on here they spent about $208 for a printed rubber mat, so $129 for the 5ft version isn't that bad.
(And it's much more than "orange plastic" as you stated.)

Thank folds up nicely!Here is my simple solution, a car sun shade and added duck tape to each corner so I can use garden stake to secure it:

If your gonna spend money on a launch/landing pad then maybe this works:
Yuneec Typhoon H Thick Rubber Landing Pad and Carrying Storage Handle
I did actually think about getting one of these myself .... but I just can't justify the dollars.
Cheers

That's another alternative.
However, I've found that something with 3 ft or less of landing area isn't that easy to land on if you want to come down as slow as possible. The Typhoon H does have a tendency to wander a little when you're very close to the ground; probably due to ground effect with the rotor wash being generated and gets amplified when flying in wind.
Also, a larger landing area will cause less dust to be blown around and onto the craft when using a landing pad of around 5 ft.

That's a nice alternative, but I fly in some area where it's rather hard to easily drive a stake into the ground and it's rather dusty. So this wouldn't work well for me.
