Construction drone lifting solar panel - GIF

Piloting a helicopter must be different than a drone. I've worked with pilots dragging the long line who never had the pendulum effect like that drone demonstrated. And I have worked with crane operators who I was sure they thought the load on the hook was a wrecking ball.

A good crane operator can take the swing right out of a load. A bad crane operator will do exactly what that drone operator just did with that solar panel. Either way this setup is sketchy as frig. Those solar panels are getting BIG now. Someone's going to catch a 60 or 70 lbs panel frame right in the face.
