I'm a drone expert and test them out for a living and this is my guide on how to fly DJI drones like a pro, using motion ...

Most of the time drone pilots steer using video game-style controllers, or just virtual thumbpads and buttons on a phone screen. But helicopters and planes are steered by joystick-like controllers ...

Most controllers are still two-handed devices that look like they're for gaming. Former doctor-turned-astronaut Scott Parazynski has developed a new drone controller that looks like a joystick.

Researchers in Switzerland have discovered that using your torso to control a drone is far more effective than using a joystick.

MotionPilot has created a prototype, and plans to launch it to market complete with a drone, joystick and FPV goggles by the end of 2018 (initially without the haptic feedback).

Grad students of the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne developed a motion-control, haptic feedback joystick for intuitive drone piloting.

With this information, the researchers created a wearable drone controller that could relay the user's movements to an actual drone — essentially, they built a wearable joystick.

Even with with minimal training sessions on how to operate them torso drone control proved instinctual. It outperformed joystick control in precision and reliability.

Among its improvements over the AR.Drone 2.0 are a better camera, longer range, and an optional joystick-based controller.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo’s Dragon Lab have developed an intuitive hand-based teleoperation system that allows ...

Sadly, controlling these flying contraptions remains an unrefined art - that's where a new six-axis joystick comes in, giving you all the dextrous control you need in the palm of a single hand.
