Drone Settings and Return to Home

Drone Settings

• Safety menu: accessed through three dots in the top right corner
• Obstacle avoidance options: Bypass ( Warning: may hit thin objects like tree branches or power lines), Break, or Off
• Display Radar Map: shows yellow and red lines indicating potential obstacles but won't stop the drone from hitting them

Return to Home

• Advanced return to home: flies an optimal route in adequate lighting, but not in Civil Twilight (early morning or late night)
• Preset option: flies straight up to a set altitude and then returns home
• Max altitude: 120m (approximately 400ft), can be adjusted
• Max distance: can be adjusted, but 400ft above the tallest point of a building is allowed within a 400ft radius

Find My Drone

• Feature causes ESCs to make a beeping sound to help locate a lost drone
• Can be turned on in case of lost drone

Advanced Safety Settings

• Signal loss: important to change if flying from boats, to prevent returning to home and potentially landing in water
• Return to home is perfect for flying from land
• Emergency propeller stop: for emergencies only
• Air sense: tells you when a plane is nearby and if you need to yield, but may give false alarms

Control

• Units can be changed from metric to Imperial
• Subject scanning: automatically scans and displays subjects in the camera view
• Expo and gain tuning: should not be changed until after flying the drone 5-10 times and understanding its response

Gains and Expos

• Specific to each flight mode (e.g., normal, GPS, sport)
• Changing gains and Expos can make the drone more responsive, but may affect smoothness of footage

Tilt Smoothness

• Controls how the gimbal moves up and down
• Tilt speed: how fast the gimbal moves up and down
• Autofocus: can be set to occur every time the gimbal is tilted up
• Deadband: the time it takes for the gimbal to stop moving after the tilt wheel is released
• Recommended settings: tilt smoothness 10 and tilt speed 13 for smooth reveals

Gimbal Mode

• Follow mode: gimbal follows the motion of the drone and stays horizon-locked
• FPV mode: gimbal moves with the roll of the drone, giving an FPV-like look

Gimbal Calibration

• Important to calibrate the gimbal to prevent IMU errors and potential crashes
• Check the IMU if the gimbal is showing an angled horizon line

Button Customization

• Syble tilt recenter and down for C1
• C1 can be changed to gimbal type, and C2 can be changed to auxiliary light
• Right dial can be changed to zoom or adjust focal length and shutter speed
• C1 plus right dial can adjust shutter speed, making it easy to achieve the perfect shutter speed for frame rate

Drone Settings

• Safety menu is accessed through three dots in the top right corner
• Obstacle avoidance options include Bypass, Break, or Off, with Bypass warning of potential collisions with thin objects
• Display Radar Map shows yellow and red lines indicating potential obstacles but won't stop the drone from hitting them

Return to Home

• Advanced return to home flies an optimal route in adequate lighting, excluding Civil Twilight
• Preset option flies straight up to a set altitude and then returns home
• Max altitude is 120m (approximately 400ft) and can be adjusted
• Max distance can be adjusted, with a minimum of 400ft above the tallest point of a building within a 400ft radius
