Hey, so -
1) operating the drone with 1 remote works the very same as with the phantom 4, you can change the direction of the camera compared to the aircraft by pressing a combination of buttons, or by holding and dragging on your screen (phone or ipad plugged into the controller), but generally you'll have the drone facing the same direction as the camera unless you're doing stuff with spotlight mode (draw around a subject and the camera trys to track it)
2) manual orbits work the same as the phantom's. I guess the one difference is you can change the camera options from "follow" (works like the phantom - the camera follows the direction of the drone) to "free", in which case the camera will point in the direction you set, regardless of the way the drone faces. The "free" mode would make doing a manual orbit with only 1 controller very very hard.
3) with dual controllers, the main controller will have full control over the drone's flight. theres a button you can press on your screen to then allow the second controller to take control of the camera. its fairly straight forwards. its been a while since ive done dual controller flights, but i think the main controller then looses the ability to control the camera until you press the button again to disconnect the second controller.
as for what way the second controller operates to move the camera, you can actually set different buttons to do different things. the default way tho is that it uses one of the joysticks on the controller to change the pitch of the camera, and the other joystick to control the yaw. you can put both of those movements onto one stick if you like, but i havent done it. its actually quite a good system. |
