Note: Before taking off, perform the following actions with the drone. Frequency tuning (see 10.1) → WIFI connection(see 10.2) → remote control start frequency (see 10.3) → horizontal calibration (see 10.4) → geomagnetic calibration (see 10.5) → satellite search status (default GPS mode) → (see 10. 6) → Start/Stop (GPS mode) (see 10.7) → Start/Stop (normal mode) (see 10.8) → Normal mode (optical positioning) (see 10.9) → Start/Stop (normal mode for indoor operation) (see 10.10)

Operational methods:

4DRC F3 4K GPS Drone with 4K Camera - methods

Please note: If the drone is lower than 100 cm from the ground, the flight becomes unstable due to the swirling of the blades, called ground effect. The lower the height of the drone, the greater the ground effect.

Operation of the application and introduction of the remote control

functions:

12.1 Free mode
The front of the drone during frequency matching is the main part in free mode; if you want to adjust the default direction, restart the frequency matching drone and press the “free mode” button (Figure 14) on the remote control briefly and press this button again
lightly when finished. Special tips: set the drone and align it in a straight line so that the gyroscope can automatically detect the straight line and achieve straight flight in free flight mode.

12.2 Immediate return
Press the “Immediate Return” button, the drone will return above the geomagnetic calibration position (Figure 15) (if the flight altitude is lower than the safety altitude, the aeroplane will climb to the safety altitude) and slowly land on the ground. If there are any obstacles, press the “Immediate Return” button again to disable the function and manually operate the rudder to avoid obstacles, then press the throttle stick down to land the drone.
To operate the app: tap the “Instant Return” icon (Figure 16) in the APP control interface to make the drone fly back; tap this icon again during the return to cancel the return.

Return out of control
When the remote control signal is interrupted for approximately 4 seconds, the drone will automatically fly back to the location with the appropriate signal.
Return when the battery is low
If the battery is low, the drone will be forced to return to a position about 20 m above the takeoff point. The return cannot be cancelled during the return with low batteries.
12.3 Speed switching:
When the drone takes off, it flies in low speed mode by default (3 gears), press the remote control lightly, “di” for low gear, “di di” for medium gear and “di di di” for high gear (Figure 17).
APP operation: click on the “More settings” icon (Figure 18) in the APP control interface to switch the drone flight speed (Figure 19).

12.4 Flight mode with waypoint
① In GPS mode, click the “More Settings” icon (Figure 20) in the APP control interface to enter the multi-site flight (Figure 21), then the interface will switch from the image transmission page to the map page.
On the map page, click to set a route range consisting of a single waypoint or continuous waypoints (Figure 22).
If there are too many waypoints during setup, you can click the Delete icon to remove all waypoints (Figure 23).
② After setting the waypoints, click the Send icon (Figure 24), the drone will automatically fly to all waypoints from the starting point to complete the preset flight path. You can control the direction of the drone during flight using the joystick.

12.5 Flight mode in the circle
In GPS mode, click on the “More Settings” icon (Figure 25) in the APP control interface and enter the circle flight (Figure 26), the drone will automatically create a radius (Figure 27) that can be adjusted in the APP (Figure 28). At this point, press the right rudder left or right to make the drone fly left or right (Figure 29) to achieve a circle flight, and the flight speed is adjustable. Push the right rudder back and forth to adjust the radius for circular flight. Press the circle flight button again to stop the circle flight (Figure 30).

12.7 Gesture recognition
In GPS mode, you can enable the timer or auto-resume drone recording by looking at the front camera lens using the following gestures.
Special tip: To perform gesture recognition operations, stay about 3 m away from the lens and face the lens in a well-lit location.
Yeah gesture photography About 3 m in front of the drone’s lens, raise one hand horizontally and make the Yeah gesture; if the drone successfully detects this gesture, it will take a picture after 3 s.
Palm gesture for Auto REC About 3 m in front of the drone’s camera lens, raise one hand horizontally with 5 fingers open; when the drone’s camera successfully detects this gesture, it will start recording video immediately. Perform this gesture again, it will stop recording this video (the time difference between the two detections must be greater than 3 s).
12.8 MV interface
Click the “Filter interface” icon (Figure 33) in the APP control interface to select your favorite filter effects and click the Record icon to record the MV (Figure 34). When finished, the composited short video or images will be saved to the media library (Figure 35).
