The number one threat when doing a vertical landing is probably entering a vortex ring state. If you descend too fast, you will be unable to get lift by increasing the collective and fall down like a rock.
One way to land is to do get down low during the approach, decelerate and enter a auto-hover above the area where you want to land being careful to try to keep your current altitude. Finally slowly descend (1 m/s or less preferably) until you touch ground.
