dji PHANTOM-3-STANDARD user manual

Yes, it is possible to fly a DJI Phantom 3 Standard without the camera. The camera of the Phantom 3 Standard is not directly linked to the flight capabilities of the drone. You can remove the camera and still fly the drone using its remote controller. However, it is important to note that the camera plays a crucial role in providing live video feed and capturing aerial footage, so you will not have access to those features if the camera is not attached.

The S1 and S2 switches on a Phantom 3 drone are used for a variety of functions:
1. S1 Switch: It's the rightmost switch on remote controller. This switch is generally used to change Flight modes.
- P-Mode (Positioning mode): This is the standard flight mode, it utilizes GPS and GLONASS to obtain a fixed position.
- A-Mode (Attitude mode): This mode doesn’t use GPS for stabilization. The drone only uses its barometer for maintaining altitude, so the drone will drift with the wind.
- F-Mode (Function mode): This mode allows you to activate Intelligent Orientation Control modes.
2. S2 switch: It's the left switch on remote controller. This switch is used for initiating Return to Home feature and also for resetting or exiting out of certain flight parameters.
- Return to Home: Switching S2 down and back up multiple times in quick succession can initiate the Return to Home function, causing your drone to come back to its recorded home point.
- Reset/Exit: In certain scenarios such as during compass calibration, the S2 switch is used to reset to normal flight mode.
Remember to always check the user guide for your specific model to understand the functions of these switches. In some DJI models, these switches can have different functionalities.

For the DJI Phantom 3 Standard, you can use the DJI GO app. This app is compatible with iOS and Android devices and allows you to control and monitor your drone's flight, access its camera feeds, and make adjustments to various settings.
