Neck/back pain while flying

[SpaceDan]

Does anyone else get neck/back pain from holding the remote and flying for a 30 minute session? I use a lanyard. Is there any option for holding the weight of the controller/tablet around your waist or something like that, to take the weight off your neck and arms? Thanks!

The DJI strap still puts all the weight on your neck.... Although expensive, this harness is well worth the money -

Zero Gravity Remote Controller Harness System for DJI Phantom 1/2/3 and Inspire 1 Remote Controller

Search the forum for multiple comments/reviews. It's also available on Amazon.

You're actually getting 30 minute sessions?

I don't even use a lanyard. Seems to help out a lot!!

Move around. It's not the weight. If you have low back pain, like 80% of the adult population, a couple of extra pounds around your neck isn't going to make much of a difference since the bottom on your spine is holding up more than half of your body weight all of the time. It's partially due to standing still for 15 - 20 minutes. Consider a folding chair or just walk around and stretch.

I always use a camp chair, the ones with the side table because it also gives

you a place to set the remote down on.

I bought a gaming chair "guaranteed for 10hrs of sitting" . swivels, reclines. I like flying FPV so it's just like gaming

Hi, I work for a company where I have to travel to other countries every week to do some training sessions.

Eh? What's that got to do with anything in this thread?

For years now I have suffered with neck pain that migrates into headaches, especially when I have to look upwards for periods of time. Now, with my gliders I fly from a hill so that I can keep the plane at or below eye level but with the drone, I get a neck pain!
