Protect H camera from downdraft debris

[Rayray]

This is nothing new to you experienced copter flyers, but newbies may not be so aware.

Noticing the dirt, dust, etc. blowing up at take-off and landing (not much pavement around here) I bought a cheap rug, carpet, 4' by 5', from Amazon for about 10-12 bucks. Works great, light enough that carrying, putting in car, is easy.

That junk blowing up can get into the exposed camera card slot (wish they had a rubber protector over it similar to what the game cam folks have).

Yup, for sure. Also helps keep the motors clean.

Just buy a square piece of wood or plexiglass and put a rubber edge on it. or those rubber pieces people use in the bottom of the big tubs. Or just go to home depot, I sure you find something

I'm going with an used cardboard box , Boom done! Free, folds up flat, and small.

A small baby blanket works great. It's much more compact than a rigid sheet of material.

Need to be careful with some of the light stuff as it can blow around in the propwash also.

The camera is very close to the ground.

A piece of electrical tape over the slot should be enough, shouldn't it?
