The drone automatically maintains a stable altitude, allowing you to focus on directional control and camera operation. This mode is active by default after take-off.

6.5 GPS Positioning Mode

When GPS signal is strong, the drone will enter GPS positioning mode, providing more accurate hovering and return-to-home functions. Ensure you have a clear view of the sky for optimal GPS performance.

6.6 Intelligent Flight Modes (via App)

• Orbital Motion: Select this mode in the app, set a radius, and the drone will fly in circles around a central point, capturing dynamic footage.
• Waypoint Flight: Draw a desired flight path on the app's map interface. The drone will automatically follow this path.

6.7 Speed Adjustment

Press the speed button on the remote control to cycle through three flight speed levels (low, medium, high) to match your skill level and flying environment.
