Complete UAV noob here, wondering about the sse transmitting lanyard.

Hi everyone, greetings from the Dominican Republic.

I'm getting ready to order a Phantom 4,preferably a bundle with extra batteries and carrying cases and such.

In many bundle offers from Amazon, I keep seeing an "SSE transmitting lanyard". I'm very curious as to what this does, other than playing it safe to avoid dropping your controller/transmitter.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

It's just a strap that goes around your neck to hold the remote controller -- like this one:

As you wrote.. its to avoid dropping the Radio Controller (RC). Most lanyards that come in the bundles are pretty flimsy. Some people like to use a tray instead of a lanyard.

You can get sturdier ones in any camera supply store.
It's not just dropping the controller, it supports it while you use your hand to press buttons on the app. So you can still work one stick without having to hold the controller in same hand. Taking pictures, and adjusting camera gimble would be a pain without it.

I purchased a P3A bundle from amazon earlier this year. It came with the lanyard. I took it off and I don't use it, but thats just my personal preference. I mainly just fly, Im not a big picture taker so its no trouble for me to hold the RC and operate the sticks.

Happy Flying!

Thank you guys. Apparently the seller made a typo when adding the information. It should have read '"SSE" transmitter lanyard' instead of 'SSE transmitting lanyard', the way it was worded gave me the idea that the lanyard 'transmitted' something.
