A method for optimizing the orientation of a remote-control device with respect to a flying or rolling drone remote controlled by this device, the remote-control device and the drone communicating between each other through a radio link, the drone comprising: - an on-board video camera; and - emitter-receiver means for said radio link, the remote-control device comprising: - a device body, adapted to be held in hand by a user; - emitter-receiver means for said radio link, comprising at least one emitting-receiving antenna (28a, 28b, 28c, 28d) placed at a predetermined position with respect to the device body; and - a touch screen adapted to display an image captured by the camera of the drone and transmitted to the device via said radio link, and to detect a contact on the surface of the screen of at least one finger of the user holding the device body, characterized by the following steps: a) determining the active antenna used by the emitter-receiver means of the device of said radio link; b) determining the model of the device used; c) searching the table for information of relative orientation of the active antenna with respect to the device body, said table being a table of a driving software previously loaded and memorised in the device, the respective inputs of said table giving, for each device model liable to be used to remote control the drone, the corresponding information of relative orientation of the antenna of this model; and d) displaying the image on the touch screen so that the top of a scene captured by the camera of the drone appears to the user at the bottom of the screen if the relative orientation of the active antenna with respect to the device body does not correspond to the direction in which the drone is, and appears to the user at the top of the screen if the relative orientation of the active antenna with respect to the device body corresponds to the direction in which the drone is. - an on-board video camera; and - emitter-receiver means for said radio link, - a device body, adapted to be held in hand by a user; - emitter-receiver means for said radio link, comprising at least one emitting-receiving antenna (28a, 28b, 28c, 28d) placed at a predetermined position with respect to the device body; and - a touch screen adapted to display an image captured by the camera of the drone and transmitted to the device via said radio link, and to detect a contact on the surface of the screen of at least one finger of the user holding the device body, a) determining the active antenna used by the emitter-receiver means of the device of said radio link; b) determining the model of the device used; c) searching the table for information of relative orientation of the active antenna with respect to the device body, said table being a table of a driving software previously loaded and memorised in the device, the respective inputs of said table giving, for each device model liable to be used to remote control the drone, the corresponding information of relative orientation of the antenna of this model; and d) displaying the image on the touch screen so that the top of a scene captured by the camera of the drone appears to the user at the bottom of the screen if the relative orientation of the active antenna with respect to the device body does not correspond to the direction in which the drone is, and appears to the user at the top of the screen if the relative orientation of the active antenna with respect to the device body corresponds to the direction in which the drone is.
