Smart Shots

Solo's Smart Shots automate video capturing to make it easy to get stunning aerial video. Cable Cam and Orbit are
automatically assigned to the controller's A and B buttons. Use the app to access Selfie or Follow. Smart Shots are
available only with the Solo app.
When using Smart Shots without a Solo Gimbal, Solo cannot ensure that the subject is in the frame at all times.
When attempting Smart Shots without a Solo Gimbal, adjust the camera mount so the camera is fixed at an
appropriate angle to improve the chances of keeping the subject in the frame.

Selfie

In Selfie, Solo flies a smooth up-and-back path to capture a subject in a cinematic establishing shot. Before starting
a selfie, always ensure that there is a clear path 200 feet (61 m) behind and above Solo. Once Selfie is activated,
Solo will fly up and away from the subject to a point 164 feet (50 m) from the subject at 82 feet (25 m) altitude.
1 Distance out (default 164 ft.)
2 Altitude up (default 82 ft.)
3 Flight path
Always ensure that there is a clear path 200 feet (30 m) behind and
above Solo before starting Selfie. Press Pause at any time during Selfie
to stop Solo. Press Fly at any time to switch to manual control.
5.1.1 Selfie Setup
To start Selfie, fly Solo to a starting point, facing the subject from approximately 10 feet away, and select Selfie from
the Shot List. The app will prompt you to press the right arrow to start the selfie.
5.1.2 Selfie Operation
Tap the forward and back arrows in the app to fly Solo along the Selfie path. The default cruise speed when using
the app to control Solo in Selfie is set to 9 mph (4 m/s).
