Don't forget to make sure you're compliant with local air traffic laws. In the US, it's illegal to fly only by camera without the license from the FAA.

Looks like part of the complexity is because they're using a 4-ch controller but only activated 3 channels (why the left stick looks like it should have left-right control but doesn't).

The sliders next to the sticks (2,3,6,7) are usually used to adjust the zero point of the joysticks. If you find your copter turns slowly without any right stick movement, you should be able to zero it out with the sliders. 5 might be similar but I don't recognize it.

5 is how my s105 toy copter adjusts any in place rotation, so I guess it's another way to do the same thing?
