    Ken, great primer lesson for new drone pilots and a good refresher for those with limited experience flying a drone. I think that most new pilots, that crash or lose control of their drone, do so once they turn it around and the control works opposite of the way it did when it was flying away from them. Even after piloting drones now for over 4 years, I found this video taking me back to my first episode of flying my first drone, as I watched it fly away out of control as it lost contact with the signal of my control unit, while I feverishly moved the joysticks.

  • @gisstudents1098
    @gisstudents1098 Před 2 lety +1

    One of the best tips I learned when the drone is facing towards you (reverse orientation) is to imagine the right stick is a "sling shot." If you pull the right stick down and right--like pulling back a sling shot--the drone will move in the exact opposite direction--as if you fired the sling shot (away and to the left). If the stick was a mini catapult, imagine what direction the drone would be launched when you released the stick. If you want the drone to move away and to the right, cock the right stick down and to the left.

    Pinch, not thumbs. I'll have to try that next practice session. Question though, as skills progress and you try to use the gimble while moving in 3D, kinda hard to still pinch the left stick eh? or do you operate the gimble with your middle finger?

    I programed the Two tap button on my controller to look straight down. that way you can look at where you are setting down and still see your controller and not the drone, and you might have a flatter head that way too. You can get a graduation hat and paint an H on the top.

  • @skycamvideo

    Wow that was like a blast from the past. Flying real drones and entertaining and educational . I didn't need to watch it as I've been flying these drone things for over 7 years now before dji even got the idea but still watched the video to the end. The landing on the head could only go one way buddy. You need a landing pad hat . Now that would be funny. Hey did the bikini clad flame jugglers go home ? I may try that in my next video. Not the landing pad hat but the bikini flame jugglers lol. Maybe some on the beach around here. Anyway Ken buddy I enjoyed that. Keep em coming .
