Device Helper-in use of adjustment of radio parameter, firmware upgrade, save models, mode change, etc.

Skydroid FPV-in use of linking Skydroid video, foating window can be top of others App(need to turn on foating window feature in Android system), use for VR, Video capture and Data rate adjustment).

Skydroid Tower-optimised by tower 4.0, can connect to mavlink protocol of APM, PX4 fight controller to realise waypoint data telemetry. Also has video serial port (similar to OJI go).

ATTENTION:
You need to wire connect with the Skydroid FPV to open the foating window. Activate QGC and connect with bluetooth to start telemetry. In the future, when QGC join Skydroid SOK then the operation will be as simple as Skydroid Tower. No need to connect bluetooth and no need to multiply another APP on QGC. Very simple. Highly recommend to use Skydroid tower.
