When drifting, it’s generally not recommended to bring your phone along. Here are a few reasons why:
- Waterproofing: Most smartphones aren’t designed for underwater use, and even if they have some level of water resistance, the conditions during drift flying can be quite harsh.
- Durability: The sudden forces and vibrations involved in drifting (e.g., rapid turns, bumps) could impact your phone’s casing or internal components.
- EMI interference: Drifting involves high-voltage electrical charges from engine ignition coils and other sources that might interfere with your phone’s electronic signals.
So, for the sake of safety and minimizing potential risks to your device, it’s best not to bring a phone while drifting. You can always capture memories after landing!
