· Create perfect flights
Parrot Disco Adventurer Pack comes with the Flight Plan[1] app to create tailor made flight paths. Choose a map and select the different points to be followed by the drone, adjust the flight altitude and the camera settings – including video recording, angle of the camera, etc.
The flight plan can also be set before going to the area selected to perform the flight. Once on site, let the Parrot Disco take-off and it will follow the path you defined. If a path or camera movement is not as you require, you can save your flight plans on the app and you can adjust or change the entire path, or only few parts, and repeat the flight as you wish.
After a flight, remove the Parrot Disco wings and place the drone, including all accessories, into the dedicated backpack.
