Hello,
i am shortly to be fitted with a pacemaker and I am concerned that my hobby of drone flying and drone photography may be a danger to the safe operation of my new pacemaker.
I don't know if the following information is what is needed to make decision but if not perhaps someone could give me some further advice.
I know that the aircraft and its remote controller operate at a frequency of 5.8 GHz for the control link, while the Wi-Fi link between the remote controller and the smartphone (for the live camera view) operates at a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequency.
Pehaps the best info would come from pacemaker wearers who regularly fly drones without ill effect .
Thanks
Mike

Thanks GoodDog!
Just what I wanted. I will pass the appropriate bits to my surgeon.
