In-Flight Best Practices

Safe Flying Techniques

Start in Beginner Mode
Keep drone within line of sight
Avoid sudden acceleration or sharp turns

Using Obstacle Avoidance

Don’t rely 100% on sensors
Slow down in tight environments
Combine manual control + AI assistance

Battery Management

Return home at 20–25% battery
Avoid deep discharge (<10%)
Carry extra batteries for extended sessions

Smart Shooting Without Risk

To balance creativity and safety, follow these proven shot techniques:

Safe Cinematic Shots

Follow Shot: Use AI tracking for moving subjects
Orbit Shot: Ensure clear radius before circling
Reveal Shot: Fly backward slowly with obstacle awareness

Indoor Flying Tips

Use low-speed mode
Avoid reflective surfaces
Keep altitude stable

Common Beginner Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)

❌ Flying too far too fast

✔ Start with short-distance flights

❌ Ignoring wind conditions

✔ Always check weather before takeoff

❌ Over-relying on obstacle sensors

✔ Maintain manual awareness

❌ Not planning shots

✔ Pre-visualize flight path

Emergency Situations: What to Do

Signal loss: Drone will auto hover or return home
Low battery: Initiate return immediately
Obstacle warning: Stop and reposition manually

🚨 Always prioritize safety over capturing the shot
