Previously limited to Follow, Dolly Track, and Side Track, CoPilot now extends to modes like Orbit, Zoom-Outnand Bird’s Eye. We heard from users who wanted more freedom to adjust the camera’s movement mid-flight without losing the ease of AI-assisted flying. With CoPilot, you can now steer your HOVERAir using the Beacon, RC, or app to add your own creative touch on top of automated flight paths.
In follow modes (like Cycling Mode, Dolly Track, etc.), when you press the direction button via the App or Beacon, the flying camera will follow the new path you set, all while staying focused on you. Once you release the button, it goes back to the original follow trajectory automatically.
Non-follow modes (like Zoom Out, Orbit, etc.), when you use the APP or Beacon to control the direction during the flight, it will switch to [Hover] mode. Thereafter, you can adjust the angle freely based on the current target point for more creative shots.
