There's been some debate in the forums as to what impact (if any) there is in tilting the drone "off".
I don't think there is any negative impact. It's not my preferred method of shutting it down, but not because I think it harms the drone. I think that there's a lot of things that could go wrong when using this maneuver (in fact I sliced up my finger once). You could injure yourself, you could drop the craft, etc. If collision avoidance is turned on, the craft is going to try and stay away from your hand, further complicating this maneuver (you have to snatch and flip with assertiveness).
But from a mechanical perspective, I don't believe that this harms the craft at all. I'll occasionally use it to end a flight. Safer though to land it, or to put it in gesture mode and capture it with your palm. |
