What is Autopilot?
Autopilot is an app that enables users to capture smooth, perfectly framed, and visually stunning imagery by executing flight and camera control sequences that were previously too difficult or impossible to perform manually. The app has been extensively field tested, with over 250,000 flights in 195 countries, and is compatible with various drone models.
1. - Black Box: Fly the aircraft with the Remote Control while Autopilot records audio and flight telemetry.
2. With autonomous and semi-autonomous flight modes, Autopilot enables you to execute flight and camera control sequences that were previously too difficult or impossible to perform manually.
3. - Follow: Autopilot directs the aircraft to follow your device at a specified Bearing Angle, Altitude and Distance.
4. - User Accounts: Create a free Autopilot user account to enable syncing Flight Plans across devices.
5. - Cruise: Fly the aircraft with the Remote Control while Autopilot uses one or more strategies to control the throttle, pitch/roll, and yaw.
6. - Focus: Fly the aircraft with the Remote Control while Autopilot controls the gimbal.
7. - Flight Recorder: Automatically record audio, settings, telemetry, commands, and control inputs in the same way a black box does on a modern airliner.
8. - Zip Line: Zip Line builds on Target by adding a second point which defines a line that the aircraft can travel along.
9. - Selectable Modes: Select a Flight Control Mode that best suits your needs for a given flight plan.
10. - Target: Autopilot directs the aircraft to fly to a Mark location and altitude.
11. - Waypoint: Waypoint builds on Zip Line by adding multiple points which define a path that the aircraft can travel along.

- Selectable Modes: Users can select a Flight Control Mode that best suits their needs for a given flight plan. New Modes will be released over time.
- Flight School: A feature that prioritizes safety and increases situational awareness. Flight School was created with hundreds of hours of real-world flight testing and consultation with professional pilots.
- Motion Tracking: Users can use GPS to make their aircraft follow them. Autopilot can even use Image Recognition in GPS denied situations via the Pattern Strategy in Focus Mode.
- Point-of-Interest: Users can select a point-of-interest for the Focus Subject, Orbit Center, Target Mark, Zip Line Point, or Intercept Origin.
- Airspace: Users can connect one or more devices and/or aircraft in an Airspace to share location information which can be used for Point-of-Interest.
- Flight Dashboard: Users can monitor all the details of their flight, including telemetry, live video, and Google Maps with offline caching.
- Pre-Flight Planning: Users can set Mode Controls before flying to save battery power, and save a Flight Plan to repeat the same flight multiple times.
- User Accounts: Users can create a free Autopilot user account to enable syncing Flight Plans across devices.
- Flight Recorder: Autopilot automatically records audio, settings, telemetry, commands, and control inputs in the same way a black box does on a modern airliner.
- Barometric Altimeter: Users can take advantage of the barometer on newer iOS devices for increased accuracy in altimeter readings.
- Background Execution: Users can multi-task with other apps or lock their phone while Autopilot continues to execute in the background.
- Integration: Users can use Autopilot with services they already love such as AirMap, Healthy Drones, and Drone Logbook.
Modes:
- Black Box: Users can fly the aircraft with the Remote Control while Autopilot records audio and flight telemetry.
- Focus: Users can fly the aircraft with the Remote Control while Autopilot controls the gimbal. Use the Inspire 1 to enable yaw in addition to pitch.
- Follow: Autopilot directs the aircraft to follow the user's device at a specified Bearing Angle, Altitude, and Distance.
- Orbit: Orbit builds on Follow, adding a Bearing Angle that continually changes based on a Clockwise or Counterclockwise Pattern.
- Target: Autopilot directs the aircraft to fly to a Mark location and altitude.
- Zip Line: Zip Line builds on Target by adding a second point which defines a line that the aircraft can travel along.
- Pano: Pano builds on Target by capturing a series of photos that can be stitched into a panorama.
- Waypoint: Waypoint builds on Zip Line by adding multiple points which define a path that the aircraft can travel along.
- Cruise: Users can fly the aircraft with the Remote Control while Autopilot uses one or more strategies to control the throttle, pitch/roll, and yaw.
- Mimic: Users can tilt their device in any direction. The aircraft will mimic the tilting motion of the device to the directed pitch and roll.
- Intercept: Users can point their device in any direction as if it were a laser pointer. The aircraft will intersect the imaginary laser created by the user's device.
- Follow mode is the best on DJI drones
- Waypoint mode is powerful
- Few crashes with iPhone 7 Plus and DJI Mavic
- iPadOS doesn't work well with the app's settings
- Last update was done 1 year ago, indicating low support
- App crashes frequently, especially when switching to map view
- App can put system in a state where drone cannot be controlled with RC controller
- Difficulty entering Flight Dashboard due to flight restrictions screen
- Tendency to crash at critical moments and throw cryptic errors
- Erratic flying behavior, not smooth enough for good video and hard on battery
Too buggy
Awesome, needs updated badly
Too buggy for serious use.
Fantastic App, they’re just not updating it
