Definition of Controlling
The FIFISH PRO V6 Expert uses the patented Smart Thruster Array™to ensure the
ultimate maneuverability and delivers the 6 DOF (degree of freedom).
•V6 Expert can move in descend & ascend, left and right, forward and backward.
•V6 Expert can rotate in 360 yaw (z-axis), 360 pitch (y-axis), 360 roll (x-axis).
We have simplified the Left Joystick, Right Joystick, Left Wheel and Right Wheel into the
following symbol. The arrows on RC indicate the command and the arrows on ROV indicate
the actual movements.
NOTE:
From the FPV (first person view) the blue is rolling counterclockwise and black is rolling
clockwise, and the rolling can activate in Sport or Combination Mode.

Controlling Modes
FIFISH PRO V6 Expert supports 3 modes for control: A, S, and C.
A is Attitude mode, S is Sport mode, C is the Combination mode.
Attitude Mode
Attitude mode is designed for beginners. The ROV will not roll in Attitude mode. The ROV
will stay in same depth moving when depth holding is ON. Even with pitch angle, the
depth will be the same.
Sport Mode
Sport mode is designed for skillful pilots. Sport mode will enable the rolling freedom, so,
you will access all 6 degree of freedom of V6 Expert. Controlling and moving based on the
FPV (Frist Person View), do not operate in third person view. The ROV will only stay in the
same depth with no command input, when depth holding ON.
Combination Mode
Combination mode activate the head tracking controlling via FIFISH VR Goggle, which
allow pilot to use the FIFISH VR Goggle to pitch, roll and yaw. Combination mode delivers
the intuitive control and immersive experiences. Combination mode supports head
tracking and remote controller working together.
Accessories Attached
The right wheel will ONLY be working in Attitude mode or Combination mode for motor
driven accessories. For example, robotic arm, water sampler, robotic fish clamp, and
compass ruler, and sludge sampler etc.
