No Pause/STOP button?

[dakeeper66]

I really liked the emergency stop button the Spark RC. MA2 RC doesn't have one. The software button in the app (eg for Quickshots) is the only option?

I don’t have the drone yet, but my understanding from videos and the manual is that a single press of the RTH button functions as a stop/hold button.

@dakeeper66 the RTH button has two functions quick press= pause, press and hold= RTH

Apparently I'm missing something...are we talking about pause/stop video or the drone itself?

So it seems I'm still missing something...won't it stop just by letting go of the control levers?

Haven't tried it on my MA2, but it used to stop my original MA 'on a sixpence' (UK expression for 'immediately')

The MA1 pause/ stop black /red button cancels previous command. IE, pressed land button accidentally, pause button pressed, drone hovers , awaiting next command. I treat it as an emergency thing!

Emergency stop ..... the drone.

I had the opportunity the other day to test this function. As described, it works as advertised.
