There are two methods available for operators to take manual control of the drone's payload using the FlytBase dashboard:
Keyboard and Mouse
Xbox 360 Joystick (Wired) or Thrustmaster (Model T.16000M FCS )
Setting the Pitch, Roll, and Throttle speeds of the drone before engaging manual controls is crucial. For guidance on fine-tuning the key sensitivity (aircraft speed) for manual functions like Pitch, Roll, and Throttle, you may refer to the Advance Drone Controls guide.
Before taking manual controls, ensure that you have access to control the drone's payload. Refer to the following documentation to learn more on how to take 'Payload Access Control' from other members within an organization.
