What's the utility of having the propellors be able to go up and down relative to the body? Usually they show the propellors way above the camera, which makes sense to keep them out of view. But one of the shots shows the arms way down with the propellors very close to the camera. Why?

- nomel 4y agoPerhaps different flight modes, with the "camera low" case having a much high moment of inertia, so more stable flight? The "camera high" case should reduce the moment of inertia, fore more nimble movement. For rotation, moment of inertia acts as "mass" does for a linear movement [1]. I don't think you would want to zip through obstacles in a "camera low" scenario. 1. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mi.html http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mi.html

When on the ground, the arms pivot down, allowing it to touch down with the camera staying above ground level, protected from impacts. When airborne, the arms pivot up, opening up a 360° field of view for the camera. DJI have done this since the original Inspire 1 and it seems to work pretty well.
