Deephaven Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Just pull down twice from the home screen and click on Internet or whatever it is called on a Samsung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was flying it without the phone using the controller just to see how it worked, crashed it in indoor and outdoor modes, hit my stove and TV, outside it hit trees.

But were you able to control the drone or did it have a mind of its own?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well being that I never had a Drone before, I'd say I could control it about 85% BUT it somehow got out too far and while trying to turn it around to come back it hit some branches about 200 feet away, my fault as it's hard to see that far out, I probably steered it wrong left/right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My drone uses it's own connection between the drone and my controller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phone is only needed to view what the Drone sees and to take pictures and Videos, you can also steer it with the phone if you want to.

teamgreen02 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 This is how it would be done from my Samsung Galaxy S23. For your purposes, WLAN and Wi-Fi are the same thing. Setup --> Connections --> Data Usage --> Mobile data turn off. Setup --> Connections --> Wi-Fi --> Search and find drone to connect to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about hand gestures. But it does have a very good active track system that does a good job following. DJI is the leader in the drone business. That's about all that I have flown for the past 8 years. They have a very good return to home system where the drone will come back to where it took off from and land if it loose communication from the remote. Depending on the model they can also come with obstacle avoidance. I wouldn't trust it around bare tree limbs like we have now, but other than that it works very good. They are almost fool proof now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
