@anon_opin That very much depends on the drone. Anything with a minimal amount of stabilisation and no GPS absolutely DOES need to be piloted. Your average DJI flying camera not so much.

@anon_opin

Yeah bro lemme operate this camera directly into the side of a freakin tank

(I say as if kamikaze FPVs for warfare aren't themselves a bad idea that barely works)

@anon_opin Does it have yaw, pitch, and roll controls? If so, you're piloting.
