Today, we talk about Attitude Mode.  Lance from New Jersey wants to learn to fly in Attitude Mode, so he called in to ask for some tips.

Currently, Lance flies a Mavic Pro.  He wants to get the smooth, buttery shots that Attitude Mode can provide.  Of course, his main problem is that the Mavic Pro doesn’t feature Attitude Mode.  The Mavic Pro does have a Cinematic Mode as one of its Intelligent Flight Mode options, but how does it compare? 

Truthfully, Mavic’s Cinematic Mode is not a strong substitute for Attitude Mode.  While it does facilitate smoother shots, it does not offer the variety of benefits that Attitude Mode provides.  The Mavic Pro’s manual mode, on the other hand, is a better alternative.

However, there is no true substitution for Attitude Mode.  It enables you to be flexible and versatile in a way that no other flight mode does.  Luckily, we’ll be offering an exclusive webinar on 11/29/17 for Drone U members on getting Attitude Mode for your drone.

Undeniably, you’ll need to learn to fly in Attitude Mode at some point.  It will help you to become the best pilots you can be.  Ultimately, flying in GPS Mode is like flying with the training wheels on.

We hope that we answered your question, Lance.  Thanks for the call!  Fly safe!
