That is a great question. I would have to say the camera because I just don't really know enough about the other major components within the drone to make an informed guess. I am very interested to know what the answers are?
honest answer. but practice practice practice find out all you can about the app and what each system does and eventually you will not have to worry because you will not be crashing .good luck with your flying
I'm not too scared of breaking anything, just wanted to make a joke. Lol. I've had my Mavic Pro Platinum since Christmas and probably have about four hours of flying on it. First flight was nerve racking cause I wanted to watch the drone and not my screen. Just comes with messing with RC cars most my life. Second flight it didn't bother me. I just don't do anything I'm not comfortable with doing. I haven't even activated "sport mode" yet. Really don't have any interest flying it 40+ mph right now. I like just flying around and looking at thing from a different perspective.
Just a note there ... you are doing the right thing in watching the Drone and not your screen ... You can see a lot more about what's going on around your drone when you do that. Just look at the drone-crash vid's on YouTube and see how many are backed into trees because the operators are looking down at their screens and not up at where the drone is ... So - good habit to keep my friend. Use your screen primarily to set up your photograpy and videos and as a secondary back-up to Visual Line of Sight (VLOS).
no worries yes they are great fun to fly. i to have not found a need for sports mode yet if i want to wiz around the sky i use one of my older cheaper drones in Atti mode and fast speed and do banked turns, funnels ,and it really is great and keeps my hand in .the mav is a lady and i fly it as one
i think the point Foxhall was trying to make was that if you are looking at the screen for to long instead of the drone it is easy to become disorientated VLOS means just the same in the ukQuick question... does VLOS in the UK demand that you look at the drone while you are flying, or does it just have to be within range of being able to see it?
Im going to guess that 95% of people here transition from watching the drone when they are first learning to fly, to watching the display after they are comfortable dedicating their eyes to the display. If I watched the drone the whole time Im flying, how will I know what to record?
The USA FAA VLOS rule (I know that this doesnt apply to the UK) states that "the unmanned aircraft must remain within VLOS of the remote pilot in command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small UAS. Alternatively, the unmanned aircraft must remain within VLOS of the visual observer." I sometimes bring a spotter, and I love spotting for other people too. Makes it more fun. I always bring a spotter when Im using goggles. Situational awareness is severely hampered when Im wearing them, so it's necessary for me to have someone there to spot, and that allows me to stay within the VLOS rule.
