DJI GO WILL ASK YOU TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE OF THE CONTROL UNIT.

REMAIN AT VERSION 1.2.10
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Displays the controller’s battery level. Each LED corresponds to a 25% remaining charge.
DISTANCE LOCK
-
Short press: activates the distance lock mode. If a distance has been previously set and is within
±500mm from the current front distance, the aircraft will use this value. If not, the aircraft will use
the current front distance value.
-
Long press: activates the distance lock mode and resets the distance value to the current front
distance.
-
The set lock distance can be increased of decreased with the “forward/backward” control stick.
ALTITUDE MODE
Up: MANUAL THRUST CONTROL mode, gives direct control over the thrust
Down: ALTITUDE CONTROL mode, the altitude is automatically maintained.
An onboard pressure sensor measures the altitude of the drone. In some cases, the pressure in an
environment will not be stable, and ELIOS 2 will not be able to maintain a constant altitude. To have
better control, the pilot can disable the Automatic Altitude Control mode to have direct control on the
motors’ thrust, called Manual Thrust Control. In this case, instead of controlling the height, the up/down
stick will regulate the thrust power. Operating in Manual Thrust Control mode is not covered by the
warranty.

-
Clockwise, the camera looks upward.
-
Counterclockwise, the camera looks downward.
