I tried CCC mode a few minutes ago but could not get it to work. I put in 4 waypoints. Then I pressed Start. It went to the first way point but would not go on to waypoint 2. I did not have the micro sd card in the camera. Not sure if that is why it is not working. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd be happy to hear from you. Thanks.
 
Did you use the throttle stick to give it the "go" command?
The throttle stick is used to tell the H to travel along the "cable" and back.

This is what works for me.

After you set your waypoints try these steps.

1. once you get to your 1st point and push the left stick forward (away from you ) to get it started on its path it always seems to go 10-11mph in that direction .

2. Now if you want to slow it down tap the left stick back (toward you) Very Very quickly ALL the way back and letting the stick return to the middle without pausing.
Each time you do this it will slow down about 1 to 2 mph intervals. Keep doing this until you achieve your desired speed.

3. To speed up again to a desired speed reverse this process by tapping the stick briefly the opposite direction. If you want to resume speed right back to the 10-11mph just hold the stick forward a second or two.

4. At any time you hold the stick to long back towards you she will reverse direction. You can use this same process from step 3 to slow her down in the reverse direction but
the stick movement t will be the opposite direction. You must now tap the stick forward to slow her
down. If you hold the stick to long from center she will go in the opposite direction again.

Another thing I have noticed once you get to your last waypoint and she stops you can go backwards on thru each waypoint by pulling back on the left stick.

Once she gets back to route 1 again in reverse direction and stops you can again go forward again by holding the stick forward .

You can go forward and back anytime during the route by holding the stick off from center for a brief moment in the direction you want to go.

Well I hope I have not confused you all but have spent about the last ten flights trying to varying the speed and this is what I have come up with, turtle -rabbit-smart-angle
modes seem to have no changing affects to above mentioned.

I just got back from trying it again. I had saved my waypoints from the first try. I put it the pan control in "Global" as someone else had suggested. When I recalled the saved file of waypoints, I hit start and swiped the start bar. Instead of going to waypoint 1 in front of my home, it went over to my neighbor's home. I had to take it out of CCC to bring it back to my yard. Then I flew it across the street and started the CCC waypoint file again. This time it flew west toward my 2 waypoint, but did not stop. I just kept flying west. Looked like it might have been on the way to Hong Kong. I am in AZ. So I exited CCC to regain control before it got too far away. One thing I am not sure about. Does it make a difference whether you are in Angle Mode or Smart Mode when you start the CCC?

My recent post was before I read your comments here.
 
RBC, did you ever get it working? I just tried my first CCC and it flew past waypoint 2 and out of the park. It almost hit a tree before I exited CCC and brought it back.
 
I wish the CCC speed was faster than 10-11 MPH, it's a bit slow for mapping. Or have the camera interval slower than 1 picture per second, perhaps 2 or 3 seconds. Maybe we will see this in the next hack.
