Drone
Flight Mode:
GPS Mode
To achieve precise hovering, the drone is equipped with a GPS module. The intelligent
flight function works in GPS mode. Users can enable Sport Mode or Beginner Mode
in the flight settings. When the Beginner Mode is on, the flight speed, flight distance,
flight altitude and RTH altitude will be limited. In sport mode, the maximum flight speed
is 18m/s, the maximum ascending speed is 5m/s, and the maximum descending speed
is 3.5m/s.
VPU Mode (Vision Processing Unit Mode)
An Optical Flow module is also built into the drone for precise hovering and landing
at the home point. In VPU mode, the intelligent flight function is not supported. The
maximum flight speed is 10m/s (36 km/h), the maximum ascending speed is 3m/ s
(11 km/h), and the maximum descending speed is 2m/s (7 km/h). When the drone is
flying above a well-lit ground with a clear texture and the GPS signal is poor, it will
switch automatically to VPU mode.
ATTI Mode (Altitude Mode)
When the aircraft enters the ATTI mode under weak GPS or optical flow signals, the
maximum flight speed is 18m/s, the maximum ascent speed is 5m/s, and the maximum
descent speed is 3.5m/s. In ATTI mode, the aircraft may drift in the horizontal direction
and does not support intelligent flight functions. Therefore, to avoid accidents, users
should choose locations with good GPS signals and open space for flying. Once the
aircraft enters ATTI mode, please land it as soon as possible to a safe location.
Note: Above 2400 meters altitude, the flight mode will become ineffective.
