    Hello,

    I've been trying to get my m500 to hover and turn, but I keeps moving on its own to the right and left. I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2lub_OCbok and it seems like it's possible to get it to hover perfectly. Can anybody tell me how they did that? please any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, is it possible to give the drone a maximum height so it stays at that altitude?

    Thank you

      @Kiazoa-Joao Hi Kiazoa, drones can be very dangerous, especially if you don't understand how they work. These drones are designed for software development and are not consumer products. Configuration, and potentially coding, are required for them to operate to their potential.

      You are likely referring to flying with VIO https://docs.modalai.com/flying-with-vio/

      Please make sure the VIO system is working well before trying flight. Then please be careful and follow the safety guidelines: https://modalai.com/safety

        @Moderator I am aware. I've been using this drone for research purposes and I always make sure to follow safety guidelines. Thanks, I'll follow these instructions.
