Position 2 GPS Position Hold.
GPS Position Hold does not change the way the
Drone is oriented. It simply locks the position
of the aircraft in place – in a hover. The altitude
is fixed when the Throttle is at 50%. It will only
increase or decrease in altitude when the Throttle
is pushed repectively to the 70% or 30% position.
Position 3 Smart Orientation Mode.
Smart Orientation Mode (SOM) is a special
function that changes the way the Drone handles
orientation. It utilises the internal compass and
GPS co-ordinates and will lock the orientation
of the Drone in place, relative to the direction
the Drone was facing when it was first turned
on and armed.
Smart Orientation Mode enables you to control
the movement of the Delta Drone from your
point of view regardless of which way the Drone
is facing. You will find this mode useful for quick
positioning and returning the Drone to you when needed.
New Pilots who have not mastered Pitch and Roll movements will enjoy
using this mode because it allows you to fly in any direction without
having to worry about orientation.
So how does SOM work?
Smart Orientation Mode allows you to control the Drone relative to its
direction from the Take-off Location (i.e. where it was armed) but this
requires GPS Lock. This is why it is always important to allow the Drone
to obtain GPS Lock before take-off (indicated by a solid Yellow LED Light
Status).
Smart Orientation Mode uses the Drone’s position relative to where you
first armed the motors. This means no matter where the Drone is, pulling
the Pitch (Right Stick) back will cause it to return towards its Take-off
Location, regardless of the Drone’s actual heading. This applies no matter
where the Drone is, even when it flies behind the Pilot/Take-off Location.
