you were very lucky, can't beat Luck! Nice titlesA comedy of errors resulted in a crash and a surprising recovery! I guess the only way to learn is to make mistakes!

Funny, been there done that as well. Well done! Like post production effectsA comedy of errors resulted in a crash and a surprising recovery! I guess the only way to learn is to make mistakes!

? funny!What the heck. Why can't they make a standing ovation with roaring clapping emoji easier to find? Short of shooting a tasty ice cold diet beverage & hot buttered popcorn out my USB ports I don't know how this video could be any better! Entertaining as well as educational.
As well as learning more daily (as we all should) about flying and using my drones I am starting to learn more about the production side of things. This video is a great incentive for that. Not just for how well it was done but for showing how much FUN it can be as well creating. Thank you for sharing!!
Great flying to get her back on the ground. And excellent video, making the best of the situation.Thanks. It was challenging as it kept moving erratically. Sometimes the sticks were effective, other moments they were soft. I thought it was going right back into the tree.
I have an idea how to keep the on/off button protected from the way I hold and operate the sticks. I’m thinking of gluing an appropriate sized O-ring around the button area. Then it can only be operated by a downward pressure directly over the button.
I know someone is going to recommend just hold it differently. But at my age I’m dealing with “intension shake”, requiring me to use a lanyard and the pinch technique for accurate control.
Here’s a picture of why I’m having an issue with the button...View attachment 117198
The problem occurs only during certain maneuvers. With the O-ring, the button will be protected from my knuckle.
(FYI I just got a job at a sewing machine factory... I thread the needles while there running. A very special skill!)
Thanks. Wow, so I’m not alone. I flew again today and hit the power button once. No big risk this time, but it reminded me that I need to attach an O-ring around the button. To be continued...Great flying to get her back on the ground. And excellent video, making the best of the situation.
I'm familiar with the intent tremor (essential tremor). I mount my controller on a tripod when possible and use a lanyard if not. Mounting on the tripod lets me rest my hands on the controller and use the "pinch" technique as you described. I find not having to hold or support the controller, reduces my tremor.
