Using a tablet or drone controller harness offers several benefits, especially for drone pilots who need to hold a controller for long periods. Here’s a breakdown of the advantages:
Drone Controller Harness Advantages
1. Hands-Free Convenience
The harness provides a secure way to hold your controller/tablet, allowing your hands to be free when necessary. It is useful when adjusting other equipment or consulting with others while flying.
2. Reduced Fatigue
Just imagine the relief from physical strain. Holding a drone controller/tablet for extended periods can be tiring. A harness evenly distributes the weight across your shoulders and torso, minimizing arm and hand strain, which is especially helpful during long flight sessions.
3. Improved Ergonomics
The harness positions the tablet/controller at a comfortable viewing and operating height, constantly reducing the need to look down or hold the controller/tablet at awkward angles, which can minimize neck and back strain.
4. Stable Control
Since the harness stabilizes the controller/tablet, it reduces the risk of accidental drops or slips during crucial moments, which is especially important when flying in challenging environments like windy or complex terrain.
5. Enhanced Focus
Keeping your tablet/controller securely in place allows you to focus more on the flight and the drone’s performance without worrying about balancing multiple items.
6. Better Multitasking
In agriculture, where you might need to switch between analyzing data on the tablet/controller and controlling the drone, the harness allows quick transitions between tasks without putting things down or picking them up repeatedly.
7. Portability
Tablet EX harnesses are designed to be lightweight and easy to wear, making them ideal for fieldwork, especially in large areas like farms where you need to walk or stand for long periods while piloting.
NOTE: As a drone pilot, you must be able to take control of the drone. If your flight is automated, the controller can be on a table, for example, in front of you or nearby. We recommend that the controller be with you so you can react appropriately (we know this from experience—whew!).
