Navigation
M2 Pro has 8 Vectored Thrusters layout which allows OMNI movement (up, down,
left and right, back and forth, pitch, roll, and pan)in all directions.
The default is basic control mode, suitable for beginners. Navigation attitude
and remote control are as follows:
I. Marching posture
Panleftandright
Turnleft/right
ii. Attitude adjustment
Pitch:Turnthedialtoadjustthepitchattitude
Roll:Turnthedialtoadjusttherollattitude,releasetofixstatus
If necessary, users can switch modes by long-pressing the “One-key reset ” button of the remote controller. When switching to the advanced mode, the ROV can achieve all-around full-freedom movement. The advanced mode is based on the first-person perspective.
