Fly while sitting?

[CMEFLYDRONES]

Anyone take a camp type chair along on flights? Interference from metal legs maybe an issue? My back is begging me.

Bad back also. Mobile heliport with chair and even tripod never cause us a problem.

Sure, why not sit down a bit if you are oriented facing the drone. Just don’t launch near metal objects, to keep the compass happy.

I like the tripod setup! Thanks for the feedback.

I like the tripod setup! Thanks for the feedback.

He has an amped antenna and Crystal Sky monitor so it's a little heavy. Tripod works PERFECT.

Interference from metal legs maybe an issue?

The chairs don't emit any radio waves so they won't cause any interference.
Perhaps you are thinking there may be some magnetic effect?
The legs are probably aluminium but if they were steel, they are a long way from the Phantom and not going to affect it.
If a magnetic influence close to the controller was an issue, the cars would be contributing 1000x more.

My back requires a camp chair too.
Never had a problem.

The designated drone field that I fly at has nice picnic tables to sit at. Sitting on the bench the table top is the perfect height for the RC. They also have cement launching/landing pads with no rebar. No need to stand as I always fly line of sight.

I almost always have a chair in case there isn't a bench or other place to sit. My only problem is when flying at home, everytime I get up my cat decides to claim the chair as his own.
