	* '''''Control of the STorM32 functions by the radio transmitter.''''' This feature has the same effect as if the receiver would be connected to the STorM32 controller at its inputs, except that such a physical connection is not required since the information is read off from the DJI CAN bus. For this to work the parameter {{PARAMNAME\|Virtual Channel Configuration}} in the {{GUI\|Setup}} tab must be set to {{PARAMVALUE\|serial}}.		* '''''Yaw drift compensation.''''' This feature suppresses any yaw drift of the camera IMU. This allows putting the yaw axis into {{PARAMVALUE\|hold}} mode for extended periods of time, and yet the camera will not drift away (the accuracy and stability depends on the accuracy and stability of the flight controller's yaw angle).
	* '''''Yaw drift compensation.''''' This feature suppresses any yaw drift of the camera IMU. This allows ~~one e.g. to put~~ the yaw axis into {{PARAMVALUE\|hold}} mode for extended periods of time, and yet the camera will not drift away (the accuracy and stability depends on the accuracy and stability of the flight controller's yaw angle).		* '''''Horizon drift compensation.''''' This feature helps to maintain a leveled horizon even in high-g maneuvers, where the horizon normally would tilt.
	* '''''Horizon drift compensation.''''' This feature helps to maintain a leveled horizon even in high-g maneuvers, ~~there~~ the horizon would ~~usually~~ tilt~~. For this to work the parameter {{PARAMNAME\|STorM32Link Configuration}} must be set to {{PARAMVALUE\|v1}}~~.
