Seniors; What aides have you come up with to help you enjoy flying more?

Thx for the link. I’ll look into it some more, it’s definitely interesting. It seems you still need to be able to rest it in your other hand?

I asked a member in another thread who had his hands on one at CES if it can be mounted to plywood and put on a wheelchair.

What shoulder strap did you buy? Sounds like something I need.

I tried to post this earlier so forgive me if it shows up. Check Amazon and EBay for this sling.

A director style folding chair and an understanding wife to place and retrieve the drone (I'm using a knee scooter to get around).

Kids are great too because they are lower to the ground thus don't have to bend as much to pick up the drone.

I carry one of those in all my vehicles. The kind with built in drink holders work well because of the bigger arm rests.

CrystalSky Ultrabright 7.85" with a DJI shoulder harness is the only way to view a monitor under the bright sun with shades on! A wide brimmed hat and nsunshade are a must!

Ha, ha! You are actually not too far off the mark with your idea. Not sure if the "medics" have sussed out implanting a micro USB yet, though. A magnetic lightening port might be more suitable for an underarm location - gets a bit sweaty under there!

However, implanted ports are quite a common feature - usually located somewhere up on one of the pec' muscles. Pacemakers can be switched "on/off" by placing a donut-type magnet on the skin above the PPM, as can monitoring and remote control occur to PPM and defibrillator devices. So maybe some form of micro access port might not be that far fetched.

Keep taking your anticoagulant medications regularly and digoxin - it might not be good timing to experience an episode of AF when testing the maximum altitude your UAV can achieve.

I *think* those devices are recharged wirelessly, using induction.

Exciting stuff.

Maybe - I'm the guy that thinks technology is too often not as great as it's cracked up to be and that we would be better off w/out a lot of it.

Me too. My wife keeps getting on me about getting a lightbulb for the cave, but I prefer candles. joking.

As a caveman, I only hug trees for one reason.

I have a lot of DJI drones. I’ll take several different models out to fly in case there are issues with one. I prefer to use Epson Bt-300s so I can fly by myself. Now I have a pair of 35Es. Still working on which I prefer. Use the 35Es with my 5.5” Crystal sky because of the HDMI out and USB for power to Goggles. I can use the same mount with Spark, Air, Pro and M2P. Was waiting for new Controller but now can’t use on most of my models. Too bad DJI.

 

[Dragon2650]

Screw it... At my age, I'm giving up drones and going to fly a Paramotor...

 

[Snowy3034]

A list. Ever drive an hour to a site and forget to bring the drone?

Never forgot the Drone. Just forgot the Controller!!!

But at least when you come back for it, it will be fully charged.

Do you think they would help someone with less than perfect vision? I had the goggles but they made my neck hurt.

Flying from inside a nice warm truck.

I'm thinking early onset of dementia here!
Worst part of that would be driving all the way home and forgetting what you had come back for.
