what does the scale value indicate?

As the picture, why the max value is 60? @Ty Pilot

 

[Ty Pilot]

Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps Yuneec thought that anything above 60% would be faster than would be needed in a cruise mode.

I have never seen that. In which cases this scale is showed up?

 

[rdonson]

and ,....... are you running the latest firmware on the TH480?

so suppose cruise mode is particular for low speed? maybe 60 not just indicates 60%

You mean you've never bumped either of the Trim Pads? Or perhaps as rdonson suspects, maybe you have an older Firmware prior to the implementation of those features. Either way when ever you use either of the trim pads, these graphs will show up on screen.

Cruise control with right trim pad

Well, now that I am thinking about it, on the left pad, with the 480, the up and down is exposure value and the right/left is white balance; if I remember correctly, so in reality, indication of the amount is really not that important. As a pilot we see the movement of the aircraft and can see the screen to view the video so really that graph does not even need to be shown if you ask me. One just needs to know how to stop and reset the trim.

Thanks a lot. And low speed cruise maybe is necessary for some mode for instance timelapse photoghaphy, to get stable and slight moving footage.

I would say not just for slow speed. In fact, with the Plus it is very helpful to also use a cruise at higher speeds. This is due to the fact that at higher speeds, where the tilt of the craft begins to bring the forward props into view of the camera, one needs to be extremely steady on the sticks to avoid this. A cruise function can do this. One of the big advantages of cruise in my estimation is that it frees up your right hand. For instance if you wanted to fly past an object you want to shoot video of; you can start a cruise, use the left hand to control direction then use the right hand to reach over and control camera pan to keep the subject in frame as you approach and pass.
