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.
