Good examples.use it when your drone is not going to land exactly where you expect it to land.
use it when your controller starts beeping letting you know the drone is returning to home but you realize home is a long way away from where you are currently standing. pause when you see your drone [rising] and taking off in the opposite direction.
What exactly does the pause button do on my mavic air controller? ...
Both will stop it but the pause button much quicker and the pause button might not necessarily return it to manual flight because it could still be in a mission the mission has just “paused.” If your goal is to return to manual flight switch the sport mode switch. If you are about to run into something hit pause.Thanks for this info guys. As I read it then, By hitting the pause button or entering then exiting sport mode will stop the ma and make it hover and returning it to manual flight.
