Yes this is something I've been wondering about. I hand catch my phantom 95% of the time, to a point where I don't feel comfortable landing it on solid ground. With the landing gear lowered on the Inspire 1, seems like we could get half our arm chopped off and that concerns me.
Is there a way to avoid the landing gear from coming down even if the optical flow sensors detect a close object like a hand. I would feel much more confident landing the Inspire when compared to a Phantom, but for mobile environments like boats and beaches, I would clearly prefer to hand catch.
Any details on this from first users?
