6 Smart Shots
Solo’s Smart Shots automate video capturing to make it easy to get stunning aerial video. By default, Cable Cam
and Orbit are assigned to the controller’s A and B buttons. Use the app to access Selfie or Follow. Smart Shots are
available only with the Solo app.
When using Smart Shots without a Solo Gimbal, Solo cannot ensure that the subject is in the frame at all times. If
this is the case, you can improve the chances of keeping the subject in the frame by adjusting the camera mount so
the camera is fixed at an appropriate angle.
6.1 Selfie
In Selfie, Solo flies a smooth up-and-back path to capture a subject in a cinematic establishing shot. Before starting
a selfie, always ensure that there is a clear path 200 feet (61 m) behind and above Solo. Once you activate Selfie
mode, Solo will flies up and away from the subject to a point 164 feet (50 m) from the subject at 82 feet (25 m)
altitude.
