in this case the drone is so fragile that the only way to get 10mins of flight from it without breaking it, is to hover


I dont know why this comment was downvoted I found it both funny and informative


It's obviously hyperbole - but the problem is that without the hyperbole, the comment communicates nothing substantive. How was it informative?


it informs you that you're going to crash it when you try to actually fly it, and it will break badly. fpv drone frames are usually made from thick carbon fiber, with replaceable arms, and are designed for durability and repairability and they still get wrecked in crashes. so even if i put it in a funny way, it's not as much an hyperbole as much as a fact: unless you're pretty much hovering, you're going to end up with a very expensive and unserviceable pile of broken electronics and plastic
