3DR Solo - Smart Shots

4.6 Smart Shots
Solo’s Smart Shots automate video capturing to make it easy to replicate traditional filming techniques. Smart Shots
can be useful for designing artistic video or for automating the flight procedure to restrict Solo to within a designated
area.
Selfie
Solo performs an automated maneuver to capture a subject in a cinematic establishing shot.
To take a selfie:
1. Navigate Solo manually so the subject appears in the video frame with Solo
approximately 10 feet from the subject.
2. Ensure that there is 100 feet of unobstructed space behind and above Solo.
3. Press A to start the selfie.
4. Solo flies backward 100 ft and upward 100 ft in a smooth arc.
5. Press pause to stop the automatic maneuver and use the right stick to move
manually along the selfie path.
Use the Solo app to configure the distance and speed of the selfie shot or to activate selfie mode
before takeoff.
Cable Cam
Create a smooth shot by flying Solo along an invisible cable between two preset points.
To fly a cable cam:
1. Press B to enter cable cam mode.
2. Navigate Solo manually to the first point so the video displays the desired subject,
and press A to save the first point.
3. Navigate manually to the second point, and press A again to save the second point.
Add a difference of altitude or orientation between the two points for an impressive
cinematic effect.
4. Use the right stick to fly along the cable in either direction.
Use the Solo app to configure and interact with automatic cable cam shots.
