I have an idea but I'd love to hear from other pilots as well.
Let's face it there's lots of fun in flying and photographing with the TH, right? But consider also, the 'other person' who traveled every mile you have to get to the spot, and now what for them?
Don't know about you guys but I'm reluctant to turn over my ST16 and say 'have at it!'
My strategy thus far has been to divide the chores. Assembly of the arms and props. Inventing and to read off a checklist (eg: ST16 on, then the TH only after the lens cover has been removed, wait for the 'ready' etc)
Another effort I make is to bring along my laptop so the 'other' can view my view via the HDMI port. Let them know the difficulty of putting on my reading glasses when in flight to read the voltage and battery bars, altitude and distance for that matter. They can also chime-in as I grow closer to my targets; or pan and tilt advice (I can always take a 2nd set based on my perception).
Even ask them for advice framing a photo as it's easier for them looking at a laptop monitor that's greater than the 5.5" of the ST16.
Any other incentives I ought to consider (short of paying them outright for their companionship)?
Let me hear any and all thoughts, lots of folks will be joining this conversation in less than a week.
