    Jostick for drones. Good idea?

    Extensive human factors testing with highly experienced drone pilots as well as novices suggest quite the opposite. Having flown many hours with the FT Aviator, I can add that it allows for extremely precise and intuitive movement through the air, while giving you refined camera controls and...

    Jostick for drones. Good idea?

    Hi RMB, Fair statement, and apologize for the confusion. One of the main reasons we launched via Kickstarter was to get early customer feedback on not only our product, but on our messaging (we're not using the funds to build tooling or to bring our product to life - we're well past that). The...

    Jostick for drones. Good idea?

    Quick update from Fluidity for our international pilot friends: we've been able to extend shipment to many other countries in the world (where our FCC and CE certification are accepted, and the USPS can deliver). For our international pilot friends, please check out: Update 2: FT Aviator Now...

    Jostick for drones. Good idea?

    That's as impressive a display of flight as I've ever seen! That said, let's recalibrate a bit. Our first product offering, the FT Aviator, is to enhance the capabilities of DJI drone pilots flying for enterprise and fun. We aren't structured to fly FPV racing drones or RC helos (yet), but we...

    Jostick for drones. Good idea?

    Thanks for your note, Eric. The FT Aviator has a patented dynamic balance between your thumb and index finger to control the Z axis and, as such, is exceptionally precise and controllable. Our target market for launch are enterprise users and hobbyists using DJI platforms, rather than drone...

    Jostick for drones. Good idea?

    Hi Steve, Some of our most positive flight feedback has actually been from inspection pilots who require extremely fine control, axis by axis. Our tactile feedback is central to this, since if you're doing a complex, multi-axis maneuver and you need to feather out one motion while continuing...

    Jostick for drones. Good idea?

    Hi Steve, We believe the FT Aviator is a quantum leap in improving pilot performance, even in skilled professional hands like yours, but watching drone racers perform it's certainly clear that incredible performance can be had with traditional controls. I just wanted to point out that our...

    Jostick for drones. Good idea?

    Very sorry about that, MrTVR. Early next year, once we're able to properly support customers in other parts of the world, we aim to grow international sales.

    Jostick for drones. Good idea?

    Glad you guys asked... I'm new to the forum, but I meant to post yesterday as we launched on Kickstarter. Our FT Aviator substantially reduces pilot workload by putting the primary flight controls in one hand. We can teach ourselves to become reasonably proficient with a two-thumbed gaming...

    Just signing on - great to join this network. We're flying an Inspire 1 in our hardware testing, and looking forward to doing so with a 2 very soon.
