StickMover
The StickMover is a training device that helps you learn new tricks, and it's now integrated with Liftoff! The StickMover looks like a normal remote control, but instead of controlling a quad, the StickMover guides you step by step through a trick or move. As you track the flight on the screen, your fingers are actively moving in the right direction. By watching and feeling you learn intuitively. The StickMover will activate when you spectate another player in Multiplayer or watch replays in the Pro League tournaments.
