• One Key Return: With the one-key return system, the drone can automatically fly back to its take-off point, reducing the risk of loss due to improper control or signal issues.
• Track Flight (Trajectory Flight): Draw a desired flight path on your smartphone screen, and the drone will automatically follow this route, capturing footage along the way. This enhances the flight experience by allowing pre-planned aerial maneuvers.
