Study Notes
Drone Remote Controller Buttons and Functions
- The left stick controls elevation and yaw (rotation), while the right stick controls lateral motions (roll left, roll right, pitch forward, and pitch back)
- The two top buttons on the remote control the apps within the remote itself
- The back button takes you back to the home screen
- You can swipe down to do a screen recording, which is saved in the files
- You can also take a screenshot, which is saved in the files
- The files can be accessed by clicking on the files icon, where you can view and copy recordings and screenshots to an SD card
Remote Controller Features
- The power button is tapped and then tapped and held to turn on and off
- The return to home button is used to recall the drone
- The pause button acts as a brake in the air, and is used to regain control of the drone in autonomous mode or third-party apps
- The flight mode switch has three options: normal, sport, and attitude mode
- Attitude mode is recommended for serious pilots or those with liability concerns, as it prevents flyaways and interference
- Attitude mode provides smooth shots, even in windy conditions
5D Button and Gimbal Control
- The 5D button is customizable and can be used to adjust exposure value, gimbal angle, and more
- The 5D button can be moved left, right, up, or down to adjust different settings
- The gimbal angle can be adjusted using the slider wheel on the left side of the remote
Camera and Zoom Control
- The video trigger starts and stops recording
- The shutter button can be used to take photos or focus
- The slider wheel on the right side of the remote controls zoom in and out
- The C1 and C2 buttons are customizable and can be used to cycle between cameras or other functions
Drone Telemetry and Obstacle Avoidance
- The obstacle avoidance system provides 360° detection and alerts the pilot if they are near an enclosed environment
- The compass row shows the direction the drone is facing
- The telemetry display shows speed, altitude, and vertical speed
- The altitude is shown in above sea level (ASL) units, rather than above ground level
- The vertical speed indicator shows how fast the drone is ascending or descending
- The speed indicator shows horizontal speed
- The distance to objects above and below the drone is shown in the telemetry display
Remote ID and Pilot Location
- Remote ID is a digital license plate for drones, but it allows the public to see the pilot's location
- Turning off map service authorization in the remote's settings disables remote ID and hides the pilot's location
- This can be useful for pilots who do not want to share their location with the public
- However, this also means the pilot will not be able to see the drone's location in relation to their own position
Drone Remote Controller Buttons and Functions
- Left stick controls elevation and yaw (rotation), right stick controls lateral motions (roll left, roll right, pitch forward, and pitch back)
- Top two buttons control apps within the remote, including back button for home screen and screen recording/screenshot functions
- Files icon provides access to view and copy recordings and screenshots to an SD card
Remote Controller Features
- Power button has tap and hold functions for on/off
- Return to home button recalls drone
- Pause button acts as brake in air, regaining control in autonomous mode or third-party apps
- Flight mode switch has three options: normal, sport, and attitude mode
- Attitude mode prevents flyaways and interference, providing smooth shots in windy conditions
5D Button and Gimbal Control
- 5D button is customizable for exposure value, gimbal angle, and more
- 5D button adjusts settings when moved left, right, up, or down
- Gimbal angle adjustable via slider wheel on left side of remote
Camera and Zoom Control
- Video trigger starts and stops recording
- Shutter button takes photos or focuses
- Slider wheel on right side of remote controls zoom in and out
- C1 and C2 buttons are customizable for camera cycling or other functions
Drone Telemetry and Obstacle Avoidance
- Obstacle avoidance system provides 360° detection and alerts pilot of enclosed environments
- Compass row shows drone direction
- Telemetry display shows speed, altitude, and vertical speed
- Altitude shown in above sea level (ASL) units
- Vertical speed indicator shows ascent/descent rate
- Speed indicator shows horizontal speed
- Telemetry display shows distance to objects above and below drone
Remote ID and Pilot Location
- Remote ID is a digital license plate for drones, showing pilot location
- Disabling map service authorization hides pilot location but also removes drone location visibility
- This feature is useful for pilots who want to keep their location private
