Well according to the manual , the button in question is a flight pause button -emergency . Number 6 on the diagram

Yes, to pause flight operations, as in intelligent flight modes, not flight input or speed. In tapfly and fixed wing, it does fly on its own, so yes it does stop that. But in normal flight inputs from you, all is needed to stop any movement is any direction is simply release toggles. If I were you, concentrate on really getting to flight skill down before you concentrate too much on the camera. Sure, get it set up correctly and etc. and get the basics down with shooting. But the shot requires getting in the right position and flying smooth for vid you'll find is VERY important!! Get lots of hours....fly, fly, fly!! If you're into photography a lot, get some filters if you don't have any yet, very important, cuz the camera has a fixed aperture. Bolton

Gav,

Make sure your RTH point is set before flying your drone. I also recommend hovering for a few minutes to make sure everything is working ok.

Hi im new to this and I have done all the youtube tutorials and I have set up everything as told. So I went out to fly and was all good , then it just took off towards the town. It is in beginners mode. I hit the panic button the emergency breaking which didn't stop it. I hit the hover but it seemed very delayed. Luckily it got to the furtherest point and said go home . It did this but then wanted to go again. So I managed to take control and reduce its height and bring it back and manual land on my lawn. whew friggen heat attack material right there. Any suggestions? please.

Somebody missed out the compass calibration me-thinks. If it’s new out of the box, it probably thinks it’s still in China!! DONT calibrate the compass near or on anything metal, or concrete that has reinforcement bars imbedded in them (re-bars)
