Parrot ANAFI - Piloting Modes; Manual Flight and Cameraman Mode

74
Piloting modes
Tap the PILOTING MODE box in the bottom bar of the HUD of FreeFlight 6 USA to access the piloting
modes options.
Tap a mode to select it. Each mode is associated with a specific behavior, which this section describes.
Manual flight
The Manual flight mode is ANAFI USA’s default mode. It enables you to pilot the drone and fully
control its camera tilt and zoom.
When you release the commands in Manual flight mode, ANAFI USA hovers in the same position.
Cameraman
The Cameraman mode enables you to pilot ANAFI USA around an object or a subject and keep them
in the center of your frame.
Frame the object or subject you want to film and fly around.
Tap the PILOTING MODE box in the bottom bar of the HUD to access the options. Tap Cameraman to
select this piloting mode.
You must enter a fixed horizon configuration into the Cameraman mode, or the mode does not lock.
Draw a rectangle with your finger on your screen, around the object or subject you want ANAFI USA
to follow, or double tap the object or subject. When your target is locked, the blue rectangle turns to
green and the orange LAND box at the center of the top bar of the HUD turns red and displays STOP.
ANAFI U SA’s frame centers on your target, inside the green box.
Drag the green box to the area of the frame where you want your target to remain at.
Fly ANAFI U SA around your target. The drone keeps your target in the part of the frame you have
selected. If you push the right joystick of the Skycontroller to the left, ANAFI USA circles around your
target clockwise. If you push the right joystick of the Skycontroller to the right, ANAFI USA circles
around your target counterclockwise.
When the Cameraman mode is activated, ANAFI USA manages the gimbal tilt to keep the target in
the frame. The left trigger of the Skycontroller is deactivated in this mode. However, you can still
control the zoom, with the right trigger.
When you release the commands in the Cameraman mode, ANAFI USA hovers and rotates to keep
following the target.
To end the following of your target, tap the red STOP box at the center of the top bar of the HUD.
When no target is selected, or when the following of the target has been ended by the pilot,
ANAFI U SA’s behavior is similar to that of the Manual flight mode.
Important: Activate and monitor the Cameraman mode with care. Always check your flight plan and
the trajectory of your subject are clear from obstacles and safe, always retain visual contact with
ANAFI U SA, and always be ready to stop the following (tap the STOP box of your HUD) in case a
danger or any sort of unexpected obstacle arises.
