    Hi GadgetGuy, When a CoPilot mission is completed (aka when last keyframe is reached) CoPilot automatically initiates a RTH. Now to launch a CoPilot mission you must be in "F" mode, so switching into "P" mode at any time during the mission will cancel the mission, cause your drone to hover in...

    Hi GadgetGuy, There might be a miscommunication. While in CoPilot, switching modes on the transmitter will override any software navigation. It will not initiate a RTH. The only way to trigger the RTH manually would be to push the RTH button on the controller. In the case of transmitter signal...

    Hi GadgetGuy, Switching modes while in CoPilot cuts the CoPilot autonomous waypoint navigation, even during RTH. DJI's SDK was designed so that whenever you switch out of F mode, the waypoint navigation is cut, and it will just hover in place. This would be the most effective way to stop an...

    Autonomous Waypoint Navigation with the FreeSkies CoPilot

    Hi Chip, That problem normally means that either the drone or the transmitter hasn't been updated to the latest firmware. Be sure to download the latest Developer Firmware onto both the Inspire and RC transmitter before continuing. The CoPilot Installation Guide will give you detailed...

    An undesired RTH, as in it initiates RTH by itself and you want to stop it? If this is the case, it means that either the transmitter has lost signal, is low on battery, the phantom or inspire is low on battery, or some other situation. You may want to let it finish the RTH in this case. You...

    Hi Gadget Guy, Full Manual Control means that the drone will hover in place and you can use the transmitter to fly it back. You will still have FPV and flight metrics to guide it back using CoPilot, similar to the DJI GO app.

    Hi guys, Great concerns. We understand the risks associated with using autonomous applications, let alone trusting DJI's hardware. We don't intend for CoPilot to be the final answer in autonomous control, but we would like to think it's a great first step to full autonomous control while...

    Autonomous Waypoint Navigation with the FreeSkies CoPilot

    Hi Richard, You can also checkout a detailed list of No-Fly-Zones inside of the app, so that you are aware of where you can or can't fly beforehand. In areas without 3D data, you can still launch in 2D Maps with Pitch and Camera mode. The focus of CoPilot is to make capturing video and images...

    Hi GWS-66, While the Apple 3D Maps does give you more control over the video, CoPilot still works in 2D locations. You will still be able to set keyframes in a 2D environment, but will need to launch in Camera Mode to give you full control over the pitch and yaw of your camera during flight...

    Hey Ascender, we are looking into building enterprise products that would not rely on apple maps.
