Yes it is. Mine just flipped out yesterday and flew into a tree when it lost contact with me...the technology is improving quickly tho.

There’s a guy that’s always running one where we ride. He never puts video online though.

I know right? What were you flying? My flyaway was user error, accidentally hit the rth.

I was flying it! Flying the drone and moving the camera together was tough but I feel like it I could get used to it fairly easily

Cool. I mean what was it? I’m trying to get fpv working so I can control the gimbal with my head. That should make the additional input a bit easier I hope.

Cool. Mine is mostly homebrew, but using a lot of dji parts like the flight controller and ESC/motors.

Sorry, thought it looked like Christchurch (moms home)... Yeah, but of a narrow reference. Seen anything interesting from your drone?

I thought you were referencing Cleveland Heights, where this was taken haha! Just flew it around the local college but it started to rain:(

Damn. Most of them just stop and hover if you lose connection.

Im pretty sure I ticked the rth button. So it stopped responding to me and went to try and get back to me. No harm done though, even after a 50 foot fall through foliage. Mostly user error.
