Rhonda's thoughtful thought of the day: If you love someone, set them free.  You will know your love is true if they don't press charges.

Oooooh, you're styling'  now!

I wonder why camera drones don't have the front propellers located slightly above the rear, or all four tilted forward (and the landing gear tilted to compensate on landing), to keep them out of the field of view when flying forward.

While on the lanyard, does the transmitter want to flip over if you let go? I use a full size iPad on mine and the combo is top heavy.

The tilting and moved props is a great idea! I guess I just have to fly slower when when I can.

The controller does tend to flip if you let it go. But not bad. I use an apple mini 2 and the clamp grips the pad good. I love it. It reduces strain on the hands!

 

Peace!

I'm often asked to fly out over Lake Michigan to film the shoreline. At mid-day in good weather, winds usually blow from the west, on to the lake. I sometimes see the props while station keeping.

A few months ago I went half a mile out over the lake in a moderate (for here) breeze, to film a tall ship. It took well under a minute to reach the ship and well over five to return. I understood the situation, but it was still more thrilling than I wanted.

Thrilling is a good word for it Maddy!  Terrifying is another!  It is like flying a big bag of money around, wondering if you are going to go broke!  LOL!

 

Peace!
