Tap the “PILOTING MODE” box in the bottom bar of the HUD of FreeFlight 6 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 Thermal’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, Thermal stays in position,
hovering.
Cameraman (visible spectrum only)
The Cameraman mode enables you to keep an object or a subject in the center of your
frame, while you pilot Thermal around it/him/her.
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.
Draw a rectangle with your finger on the screen of your device, around the object or
subject you want Thermal to follow – or double tap this 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”.
Thermal’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 Thermal around your target. The drone keeps your target in the part of the
frame you have selected. Therefore, if you push the right joystick of the Parrot
Skycontroller 3 to the left, Thermal circles around your target clockwise. If you
push the right joystick of the Parrot Skycontroller 3 to the right, Thermal circles
around your target counterclockwise.
When the Cameraman mode is activated, Thermal manages the gimbal tilt to
keep the target in the frame. Therefore, the left trigger of the Parrot Skycontroller 3
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, Thermal hovers and
rotates to keep following the target.
