From traditional to "black technology", nowadays drone remote control in the end how heavenly?

Drone remote control, as the flyer control drone tool, can be said to be very important. With the development and progress of the drone, the supporting drone remote control is also being improved accordingly. Of course, in general, the improvement of drone remote control has always been in the direction of facilitating the flyer to operate the drone.

In order to better understand the difference between traditional drone remotes and "black tech" remotes, and in order to take care of some of our "white" friends, let's start by understanding traditional drone remotes.

First, the traditional drone remote control

The remote control generally includes the switch key, remote control antenna and other basic devices. But with the specific application and function of the drone, different buttons will be developed. But the basic structure are roughly the same!

Drone remote control structure

I believe that we have heard of the "American hand", "Japanese hand", "Chinese hand" and other special terms, and many new The white man does not understand what these special terms really mean, what is the difference? The key lies in the channel layout of the drone's remote control!

So here's the question!

So the question is: what do you mean by "channels" in a drone?

The channel is actually the number of movements that the remote control can control. For example, the remote control can only control the four axes to fly up and down, so it is one channel. But the 4-axis in the control process need to control the number of movements: up and down, left and right, forward and backward, rotation, so the minimum must be 4 channels of remote control. The difference between "American hand", "Japanese hand", "Chinese hand" lies in the arrangement of the channel is not the same, do not say much, first on the map!

It's important to note that the term "Chinese hands" is not as common as the other two, and there are fewer pilots who use "Chinese hands". The reason for the naming of the "American Hand" and "Japanese Hand" is that it follows the name of the fixed wing in the modeling world.

So what are the four channels of the drone's remote control responsible for manipulating the drone's movements?

The first channel is generally referred to as the Aileron, which is used to control the two ailerons of a fixed wing to change the attitude of the aircraft. In a multirotor, it is used to control and change the attitude change in the direction of the fuselage's traverse roll.

The second channel refers to Elevator, which is used to control the horizontal tail of the fixed wing to raise and lower the fuselage, thus raising and lowering it. In a multi-rotor, the Elevator channel is used to control the fuselage forward and backward. For American hands, the right stick is pushed upward and the fuselage flies forward; pulled downward and the fuselage goes backward. Japanese hands, on the other hand, the left stick up and down to control the airplane forward and backward.

The third channel refers to the throttle channel (Throttle), which, as the name suggests, is used to control the engine or motor speed. U.S. hand is the left side of the rocker up and down to control the throttle size, the rocker upward push, the motor speed increases, the fixed-wing aircraft flight speed increases, and the multi-rotor is upward pull up. Japanese hand remote control of the right rocker, it's up and down is used to control the throttle output.

The fourth channel refers to the rudder, which is used to control the vertical tail in a fixed-wing airplane, thus changing the nose direction. In fixed wing, it is used to control the vertical tail, thus changing the nose direction. In multi-rotor, it is also used to change the nose direction, but when we fly, the more intuitive feeling is that the fuselage is doing self-rotation, so we usually call the rudder as "rotation". The American hand is the left stick swinging left and right to control the nose orientation, which is the same as the Japanese hand.

So if you're still new, which "hand" should you choose?

At present, domestic pilots use the "Japanese hand" more, probably due to the fact that people use more Japanese machines. But in general, the remote controls for flying toys are "American hands". According to the advice of an experienced flyer, it is wise to keep the same remote control operation habit as your friends around you. Because one is easy to communicate; two is able to exchange each other drone control; three is when you encounter an emergency, your friends can directly operate the "rescue aircraft", do not have to debug.

The above is the traditional drone remote control of some of the introduction, as for the specific operation, or need to be specific to learn! Finished the traditional drone remote control, now we come to appreciate the charm of the "black technology" drone remote control. As I mentioned above, the "black tech" drone remote control was created to make it easier for pilots, especially novices, to quickly maneuver the drone. It is important to realize that it takes a lot of practice to be able to operate a traditional drone remote control, otherwise it is very easy to get into an accident. Therefore, in the stage of drone "popularization", it is very necessary to simplify the remote control of the drone through the technical means of safety!

Second, the "black technology" drone remote control

① body remote control

I believe that all the flyers are not unfamiliar with PowerEgg. On August 29th of this year, PowerEgg was just "hatched" at the Bird's Nest in Beijing to meet the public! I believe that when you think of PowerEgg, you will think of its special egg shape, full of sense of technology! In addition to his shape, another commendable thing is its unique body remote control.

PowerEgg somatosensory remote control adopts a single lever design (the standard remote control is double lever). It has one-button control of the airplane takeoff and landing, surround, photo and other functions. And users only need to tilt the somatosensory remote control to any direction, it will make the aircraft fly in the corresponding direction. The smooth and fluid operation enables users to enjoy an easy and smart flight. Even users who have never touched a drone before can easily get started.

Of course, no matter how simplified, safety comes first. When it comes to emergency emergencies, many flyers, especially newbies, panic. The PowerEgg has been specially designed to ensure the safety of the flight by releasing the flight switch so that the PowerEgg will automatically hover when the newbie is panicked. This is still very suitable for newbies!

As for the specific performance of the PowerEgg somatosensory remote control, I found a video for you to see first!

② "Watch" style remote control

In American blockbuster movies, especially tech movies, the main character often manipulates the tech through the manipulation device on his hand. However, now there are drone companies will make the drone remote control watch type!

The FlyBi drone from abroad comes with exactly the same watch-type remote control. It uses an LCD display, a single lever and dial to control the body, and a maximum control distance of up to 1.2 miles.

The flyer can watch the real-time image on the screen while coming to control the flight of the drone through the dial and joystick on the remote control, which is very convenient!

③ Mobile phone remote control

Strictly speaking, cell phone remote control can not be regarded as "black tech", but cell phone as a drone remote control is a manifestation of the popularization of drones. Now the drone selfie market is very hot, and as a "travel" tool, the drone not only to streamline the volume, but also to streamline the accessories! With a cell phone instead of the traditional remote control, you can make the drone driver less to bring a device, convenient travel!

Many drones on the market today utilize this technology! DOBBY, the familiar pocket drone from ZDO, is not equipped with a remote control at all. It requires the flyer to control the drone through their own cell phone!

Moreover, the cell phone also has a corresponding sensor, you can also shake the phone to achieve the purpose of controlling the flight of the drone! Indeed, it also saves time and money on top of its functionality!

Of course, with the development of science and technology, there will be more and better "black tech" drone remote control, there will be a number of outdated "black tech" drone remote control, but no matter how to change, the traditional drone remote control will still be the mainstream. is the mainstream. Simplicity is not the best thing, just like the M and P of a DSLR. Sometimes the machine helps you save some links is really a very convenient thing, but at the same time also deprive you of a lot of happiness!
