Anyone flown an Air2S from inside a vehicle

[Marjonkay]

Hi There,

I am wanting to send my Air2S up and have it follow me whilst I drive my campervan - has anyone any experience doing this - is it even possible, or will the drone lose signal to remote control if it’s on the front seat beside me?
Appreciate your thoughts.

I normally fly from inside my car with the air2s. So far no problem. I've only done the follow me once just to see how it worked... again, no problem with signal.

Almost all of our flights are now done from inside the car or truck with all the drones.

If there is a clear, unobstructed line of sight between the controller and drone, you should maintain signal connection.
But if that line of sight is blocked by a metal roof, you'll lose signal.

I have flown all of my drones from inside the vehicle. But not while operating the vehicle. I have flown it while someone else operates the vehicle.
Not being a drone police, but if your operating the vehicle, how will you visually observe the drone behind you, or be able to take control of it if another object/bird/or aircraft is encountered? Rather than risking losing or wrecking my expensive drone, I would have someone else drive while I flew the drone. Just a suggestion.
