Patent attributes
A remote controller for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a user input component configured to receive user input from a user and a communication circuit configured to transmit an instruction to operate at least one of the UAV or a load carried by the UAV based on the user input. The remote controller is configured to transform between (1) a single-hand operation mode that enables the user to control an operation of the at least one of the UAV or the load using the user input from a single hand while being held by the single hand, and (2) a multi-hand operation mode that enables the user to control the operation of the at least one of the UAV or the load using at least two hands while holding the remote controller using the at least two hands.
