What is headless mode on a drone?

Headless mode is a feature on many drones that allows the pilot to fly the drone based on its own orientation rather than the orientation of the controller. This means that no matter which direction the nose of the drone is facing, pushing forward on the control stick will always move the drone forward, pulling back will always move it back, etc.

This can be helpful for beginners who may have trouble keeping track of the drone's orientation while flying, as it simplifies control inputs and makes it easier to fly the drone in a more intuitive manner.

It's important to note that headless mode can be turned on and off on most drones, and it's always a good idea to practice flying in both modes to become a more skilled pilot. Additionally, using headless mode may limit some of the features and capabilities of the drone, so it's best to use it judiciously and not rely on it as a crutch for developing your piloting skills.
