To yaw, the drone spins all propellers at full speed. For the drone to roll in the left direction, it pushes the air in the right direction. For the drone to roll in the right direction, it pushes the air in the left direction. For the drone to lift off, it pushes the air down. And this is where things get a little bit confusing. How the drone makes these moves is by “pushing” the air in the opposite direction. So, if you’re going to make the “advanced” moves, you’ll need to master these basic movements. You can combine these maneuvers to fly in any direction you want, because all flying patterns, no matter how complicated they seem, are based on these three drone movements. Rolling is moving to the left or the right.Pitching is when the drone moves forward or backward.Yawing is when the drone rotates on its own axis.This flying mechanism gives the drone three basic maneuvers: Yaw, pitch, and roll. Furthermore, the rotation rate of a given pair of propellers determines the direction the drone will take. Each one has a motor that determines the speed of rotation. Two of these propellers rotate clockwise, and two rotate counterclockwise. Your drone has four propellers (blades) that manipulate the airflow in order to fly. They’re like flying robots, and “robots” have different aerial dynamics than, say, a bird or a plane. To understand how the headless mode on a drone works, you first need to understand the physics of flying a drone, because drones are totally different animals. Give me a few minutes, and you’ll get all the cool moves.
Let alone understanding that mysterious headless mode. The instruction manual was pure gibberish to me.
When I Googled “headless mode,” the information was too much to process. The headless mode makes the drone respond to your controls irrelative to which way it’s actually facing, so that you don’t have to keep track of the drone’s orientation in flight.Īs a drone beginner, it was impossible to figure out all that stuff on my own. What is headless mode on a drone, you ask?įlying a drone in headless mode means that your drone “faces forward” no matter your position on the ground. After that, flying my little mechabird (yeah, I just made up that word!) became more enjoyable and less frustrating. That’s when I learned about flying in headless mode (also known as home lock, or safe mode). When I got my first drone, I was more than happy – I was elated! But my excitement didn’t last as I discovered how darn hard it is to control a flying drone.
