CHAPTER 6: ACTIVITY PRESETS

31

ADAPTIVE:

Advanced Free Follow Mode that delivers dynamic camera angle change adapting 
your travel direction. You can set the ADII to stay in front, rear, right or left from 
you. When your movement direction will change the ADII will adopt to it and 
reposition itself to maintain the set angle. 

CAUTION: 

this mode is suggested for wide open areas and it is recommended to test it out a 
couple of times and get familiar with its behavior before you use it in actual 
activities. 

3D LINE (CUSTOMIZABLE FLIGHT PATH):

Pre-programmed “Follow Mode” that is designed to deliver ultimate control over 
creative aspects and provide extreme level of safety in areas such as tracks, cable 
wake parks and anywhere else where you want your ADII to stay away from 
infrastructure objects, trees, buildings and other obstacles. In this mode, the ADII 
will fly along a pre-programmed flight path while still following and keeping you 
perfectly framed in the shot. 

CAUTION: 

Lines must be set in a safe distance from trees (minimum 30 feet or 10 meters) 
and buildings to allow for GPS inaccuracies and to ensure open view to skies for 
best satellite signal reception.

sub-Mode: HOVER

In this mode, the ADII will hover at a fixed position and altitude while panning 
around and adjusting the camera pitch to keep you in frame, perfectly, every time. 
This was developed for tight areas such as skate parks, areas with obstacles, 
terrain parks, and race tracks. “Hover Mode” can also be used over kickers and 
ramps. In this mode, the arrow buttons on AirLeash act as a remote control 
joystick to make the ADII positioning simple.
 

sub-Mode:CIRCLE

In this mode, the ADII will continually circle around you, whether you are moving 
or stationary. The ADII will begin to circle around you clockwise. To change the 
direction and speed the drone circles around you, simply use the arrow buttons on 
AirLeash. This mode can be used in environments that are free from obstacles to 
avoid. It’s great for scenic and establishing shots providing professional-grade, 
steady, panoramic footage.
