Cable Cam Settings

To access the settings from the in-flight Cable Cam interface, select Options with the three dots at the bottom-left of 

the main screen. To adjust Cruise Speed, use the slider. Automatic Point Camera prevents left-stick camera control 

during Cable Cam. If you set different Yaw values while setting up the shot, change the direction Solo rotates 

between the A and B points by toggling Reverse Yaw Along Cable.

6.5  Orbit

Use Orbit to fly Solo along a preset circle while fixing the camera on a central target. 

Note: Orbit uses the Solo App’s mapping feature. For best results, use Orbit with a mobile device that has a live 

mobile data link. Alternatively, if using an Android device, you can use a cached map. For details, see Section 6.1.2, 

Map View, on page 39.

Starting Orbit

Select Orbit from the Shot List. The App switches to the map screen and shows the location Solo as well as the 

direction it’s facing on the map. This screen also shows the orbit center point as a small bullseye, as well as a line 

connecting the two points. To change the location of the center point, drag the map image in the App until the 

desired center point is at its center. 

When the setup is satisfactory, press A on the controller to save the current center point. Once you set the center 

point, the App displays a Orbit Center Point Saved confirmation. To adjust the position of the center point during 

Orbit, drag the map.
