Control method

APP application operation: Enter the APP control interface and click the “more functions” icon to open the “joystick on/off’ icon, you can see the operation joystick on the interface. The operation method is as follows:

Introduction to the APP application and remote control function operation

Headless mode
The front of the aircraft, when it is turned on for frequency matching, is the front of the aircraft in headless mode by default; if you need to adjust the direction, please restart the frequency matching, and click the “Headless Mode” icon in the APP control interface (Figure 12). To exit, press the icon again.
Special Tip: Please make sure the aircraft is aligned with a straight line and let the gyroscope automatically detect the straight line, and the headless mode of straight-line flight can be realized.

Lighting control
Press and hold the light mode button. to cycle through the lights at the rear of the aircraft (the lights include several modes) (Figure 13).

One key return
Press the one-key return button. The aircraft will return to the place above the geomagnetic calibration position (Figure 14). (The aircraft will automatically rise to a safe altitude when it is flying below the safe altitude) and then land slowly. If there are obstacles during the landing, press the one-key return button again to turn off the return operation and avoid by the manual control joystick, and pull down the throttle lever to land.
APP operation: Click the “one-key return” icon (Figure 15) in the APP control interface, you can also return the aircraft; during the return flight, click this icon again to cancel the return.

Runaway return: When the signal of the remote controller is interrupted for about 4s, the warning aircraft will automatically return to the place where there is a signal and stop. Low battery return: when the aircraft is in low battery electricity, it will forcefully return to a place that is 20m above the take-off point. The return flight cannot be canceled during the low battery return.

Speed switching

• When the aircraft takes off, it is in low-speed mode (2 shifting gears) by default; lightly press the remote control, it will emit two sounds of “beep”, it will enter “high-speed gear”. (Figure 16) APP operation: Click the “More Functions” icon (Figure 17) in the APP control interface and the flight speed can also be switched (Figure 18).

Multipoint flight mode

At this time, the interface changes from the image transmission page to the map page. On the map page, click to set the track range of a single waypoint or continuous waypoint (Figure 21 ). During the setting process, if the track waypoints are too dense, you can click the delete icon to delete all waypoints (Figure 22).
2. After setting of the waypoint, click the send icon (Figure 23), the aircraft will fly to all waypoints from the initial point to complete the preset flight trajectory. The direction of the aircraft can be controlled by the joystick during the flight.

Orbital flight mode

In GPS mode, click the “More Features” icon in the APP control interface (Figure 24) to enter the orbit flight mode (Figure 25), the aircraft will automatically orbit in a radius (Figure 26), and the radius can be adjusted on the APP (Figure 27). At this time, push the right direction joystick to fly left or right (Figure 28) at the default speed, the orbital speed can be adjusted. Push the right direction joystick front or rear, and the orbit radius can be adjusted, and when the orbit button is pressed again, the orbit flight will end (Figure 29).

GPS follow mode

In GPS mode, click the “More Functions” icon (Figure 30) in the APP control interface to enter the following (Figure 31 ). The aircraft will use the distance from the current position to the operator (mobile phone or IPAD) device as a reference, and move by tracking changes in the location of mobile devices. In the following, lightly press the red. icon to cancel the following.

Lens adjustment
Press the fine adjustment button for the camera angle on the remote control, and the operator can adjust the lens angle as needed (Figure 32).
APP application operation: Click on the “More Functions” icon (Figure 33) in the APP control interface to enter the lens adjustment (Figure 34), and the operator can adjust the lens angle as needed (Figure 35).

Gesture Recognition
When facing the camera’s front lens, click the gesture photo button on the APP, and use any of the following gestures to trigger the aircraft’s photo or camera function.
Special Tip: Please face the lens with the front being at a position about 2-3M away and in a better light and background environment to perform the gesture recognition.

Yeah gesture photo
In about 3m in front of the aircraft lens, make a Yeah gesture with one hand in a horizontal position; after the aircraft successfully recognizes the gesture, count down 3 seconds and take photos.

Palm gesture video-recording
In about 3m in front of the aircraft lens, put five fingers together and lift one hand to a horizontal position; after the aircraft successfully recognizes the gesture, it will start recording. The recording will end when the gesture is re-recognized (the time difference between the two recognitions shall be greater than 3s ).

MV interface
Click the “filter interface” icon (Figure 36) in the APP control interface, after entering the filter interface, you can choose to match your favorite filter effect, and click the recording icon to start recording (Figure 37). After the recording is completed, the synthesized short video or picture will be saved to the media library (Figure 38).

special Tip: During the recording process, you can rotate the screen or switch the filter effect, and you can a.ls -o tum the joystick on/off to control the direction and altitude of. the aircraft.
