What happened to the intelligent flight modes?

I should've done more research before buying the V3. But I digress. Has anyone tried connecting the V2 controller to the V3 drone? Or side loading the app onto the SE controller? Just curious.
 
That is correct. The chipsets ae different. It seems it will take the Autel team to program these modes into the software. But from what I have been reading, that may not happen. reason why after reading some of the comments, I went out and found a V2 is really good shape to buy so that I would have the modes I wanted to use.
 
So it's been a few months. I'm tired of the V2's remote and 2.4GHz sucks in my area.

The intelligent flight modes aren't a deal breaker to me. I mainly fly manually.

That said, is the 900-915MHz band working yet? Priority #1. It's what I use for my FPV drones and it rocks...
Second, have any of the intelligent flight modes been restored?
Dynamic or tripod track and then ofcourse dual stability or precision flight? Thanks.
 
Rossiman,

From what I understand, the 900 MHz is only for the V3. V2 will remain on the two original frequencies, 2.4 and 5.8 I think.

V2 still has all the intelligent flight modes (13) and missions (6) on the most current app, Autel Explorer V2, and firmware. Corridor is replaced with Slope for V3.

I installed the current app and firmware on my V3 over the weekend and no additional flight modes, just 6 (Pano, Hyper-lapse, Orbit Hyper-lapse, Dynamic Track, Smart Orbit, and Orbit). However, the sticks feel more "DJI-Like", but maybe that's just in my mind. The missions are also the same 6 (Way-point, Rectangular, Polygon, Oblique, Recording, and Slope).

Hope this helps.

Correct. The V3 was built with a 4 inch antenna which is optimized for 868-915MHz band. Initially, when it first came out and even into last fall, the V3 still hadn't received the (915MHz for the US) frequency capability yet. So it looks like they atleast got that sorted out.
As far as the drone/controller itself, are they treating you guys right or is it still kind of buggy?
Thanks.

Dynamic tracking comes with the V3, however all the others have not been restored. Still missing dual stability, waypoint, tripod, parallel, and VR mode. I was hoping they would be in the recent update. The V3 controller is nice, however I do experience a lag when switching from video to photo. The button becomes unresponsive. Not sure if anyone else has experienced the same.

Waypoint is under Mission Planner, not under Intelligent Flight modes.

I don't recall a lag between photo and video, but definitely no freeze. I will keep an eye on this.

The camera seems heavier on my V3 compared to the V2. It will not stay in place long enough to attach the gimbal cover. Most times I have to hold the camera in place with a finger to attach the gimbal cover.

The v3 is what it is. There may be bug fixes, but don't expect any feature additions. In that respect it has been abandoned. Those in the Enterprise world that would spend large $$ should take note of their support and this product reputation. IMHO

You may already do this, but I turn my v3 upside down to do the gimbal cover. Then just make sure the cover is lined up with the gimbal support arms and it just clips right in.

Sure, Unless I misunderstood something.
Hey bud, would you mind helping me out with the precision mode? I have the V3 Pro but it doesn't have the Precision Mode option. Would you mind putting yours in Precision and going to the settings page under Flight Control> scroll to the bottom and go into Advanced Settings> EXP and screenshot those settings please? Then back out of EXP and go into Sensitivity and screenshot that page please? I think having those settings will help me manually set mine up for Precision. The pics show what I'm using right now to give me a little more fine control and the sensitivity page is tough to figure out with trial and error.
Thanks for any help.

I would love to see that precision settings too 👍😎
 
Yaw movement at 30% is a real variable depending on how fast you fly and how close to the subject you are . At some speeds and longer distances 30% is too much and close in its too slow.

Im filming roofs at a close distance and under tree limbs sometimes and dont want the jerky yaw movement. It makes seeing defects better and not having the defect area jump out of screen. The old Precision Mode was perfect on the EVO 1.
If someone could just screenshot the values it would make manual changes quicker.
Thanks
 
You could drop Yaw to 20% . I generally fly at 30% . Yaw is not a set and forget kind of thing. A few days ago I was flying a very long duration arc around a 60 story building starting from 700M out. Yaw could have been 15% for that shot instead of my normal 30%

I just purchased the V3 and have experienced a lag or having to push/poke the button numerous times before they switch

I've set all my stick inputs to .20 and Yaw to 20% and Attitude to 20%. The attitude seems to have helps quite a bit with the jerkiness so these work for me. They do get reset though after any updates.
 
Still keeping this thread alive, does anyone know why in Dynamic track you can only track people? I tried a car yesterday, and no joy. However, I could have swarn I saw the blue bullseye on a car when I first got the drone and was playing with the flight modes.

Also, is there any way to point the gimbal to the side as you're flying? There's the minor offsets for the camera, but it's only like 10 degrees.
