    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
