Hitting the REC button will start or stop recording of the flight video that is streamed to your device. The drone captures telemetric data as well, a very nice feature. This telemetric data is used in the still-beta Academy application and will be superimposed on the video for later analysis of your flight. More on the Academy feature later on.
The camera button captures a still of what is on the screen at that point in time and saves it to your device.
Hitting the Take Off button causes the drone to take off and then go into a stationary hover until you give it control commands. The Emergency button causes all motors to shut off; this will cause a crash so don’t use it loosely. When you want to land, hit the Landing button, which is available after you take off in the same position as the Take Off button. The drone will attempt to land straight down.
Drone Configuration
The AR FreeFlight app has plenty of device configuration options for the drone. Here are the screenshots:
FreeFlight offers plenty of options for configuring your drone, including turning on the Absolute Control or Joystick control modes, changing the flip directions, and setting altitude limits. This is very well done.
