[QUOTE="Tom Croley, post: 21880, member: 3843"] I vote yes....be concerned. I admit, I'm not very experienced with drones yet, but I have already observed that the gesture mode is far from perfect. So far, I'm disappointed in it. It goof up ever time I try it. My last goof up went like this. I launched, I did a couple of Darth Vader moves from left to right....they were a little glitchy but worked, then I waved for it to follow me and it backed up as it should. Next, I started walking down the street to see if it followed, and it did....for a while. Then it stopped following and just hung in the air about 14 feet up, blinking at me. I tried the "Y" gesture over and over and over. It simply would not come to me. So I tried every gesture in the book and even a few not in the book. Finally, the battery went low and it did a programmed landing. I walked over and let it land in my palm. But what if I had gestured for it to back away over a cliff, or over the side of a boat, and it then got stuck like that.....what then? So yes, there is concern. [/QUOTE]
