Controller function

[Drevitt1]

I have now a GL300c controller for my phantom 3 advanced drone, previous controller failed.
I note this controller appears to work okay but the function switch has P-S-A rather than F (function) as the old one, also has Auto Hold written beneath the switch.
Anybody know anything about this controller and can i still use this switch for course lock ?

Any information would b helpful as there is no support out there DJI don’t support P3A
Thanks

Dave

My guess is that you might have a 300C Ver.B controller for assorted P4 models. The 300C Ver.B has a PSA mode switch.

The 300C for assorted P3 models and the base model P4 has a PAF mode switch.

If you look at the back of your RC, does it say Ver.B?

Check out this post for more info and a picture of the Ver. B label.

Its not, the controller is shown as being for the P4, but you asked what the buttons were for

 

[Andy9]

At P4 P is for P-mode or normal flight on GPS.
S is for Sport mode
A is for ATTI mode when no GPS signal is available.

A is for ATTI mode when no GPS signal is available.

Or for when you want to actually fly the drone

 

[Andy9]

Yes. The drone won't hold the position. Only it maintains the altitude.

In windy it could be quite fun. Until you lose or crash it (LOL).

I have logged literally hundreds, if not thousands, of hours flying a SYMA X5C in a room with a fan that would oscillate and vary the speed of the fan continuosly. That is what I call fun!

I don't know sbout Syma but DJI drones besides the GPS, which is out in the closed plce, have US location positioning so it's not completely out of balance.
