"Make sure to switch to Cine mode AFTER powering up the aircraft as it always powers up in a normal mode regardless of the switch position."
That is not correct. Look at the screen after power up and connecting to the drone. If the switch is in Cine on power up the screen shows C-Mode, not N-Mode.
Correct that is what it SHOWS in the app, but that is not the mode that the aircraft is in!
Try it. I thought the same as you and trusted the app display, but it is not correct. The aircraft ALWAYS starts in N mode, regardless of the switch, BUT the app will show the switch position, not the aircraft mode.
A simple test is to power up with the switch in the Cine position. Take off and initiate a climb with full left stick up (Mode 2 assumed). Then descend back to head-height-ish. Switch to Normal mode and then immediately back to Cine mode. Then push the left stick fully up again. The aircraft will climb much slower this time as it is actually in Cine mode. Final confirmation: descend again, switch back to N mode, full left stick up... the aircraft climbs at the rate it did when you first powered up!
I saw a number of posts about this on here and couldn't believe that the app shows the switch setting rather than the aircraft mode. So I tested as described above... and those posts on here were correct. The aircraft always starts in N mode regardless of the switch position.
To my mind DJI need to change the app to show the actual aircraft mode as this is very confusing. |
