Drone

Flight Mode

  • GPS Mode
    To achieve precise hovering, the drone is equipped with a GPS module. The intelligent flight function works in GPS mode. Users can enable Sport Mode or Beginner Mode in the flight settings. When the Beginner Mode is on, the flight speed, flight distance, flight altitude and RTH altitude will be limited. In sport mode, the maximum flight speed is 18m/s(65 km/h), the maximum ascending speed is 5m/s(18 km/h), and the maximum descending speed is 4m/s(14 km/h).

  • VPU Mode
    An Optical Flow module is also built into the drone for precise hovering and landing at the home point. In VPU mode, the Intelligent flight function is not supported. The maximum flight speed is 10m/s(36 km/h), the maximum ascend speed is 3m/s(11 km/h), and the maximum descending speed is 2m/s (7 km/h). When the drone is flying above a well-lit ground with a clear texture and the GPS signal is poor, it will switch automatically to VPU mode.

  • ATTI Mode
    When the GPS signal is poor or the compass has interference, the drone enters in ATTI mode. In this mode, the drone can start drifting horizontally and intelligent flight mode is not supported. Therefore, in case of any accidents, we recommend flying in an open area with good GPS signal reception. Once the drone enters in ATTI mode, please land in a safe place as soon as possible.

Sport Mode will not be available when the drone is over 2400 meters above sea level.

Safety Protection

  • Fail safe Return
    Failsafe return is only supported in GPS mode. When the drone and remote controller signal is interrupted for more than 2 seconds, the flight control system built into the drone will take over the control of your drone, plan the return path according to the original flight path, then the drone will fly back and land at the home point. This function works precisely if there are enough GPS satellites are locked, the compass has no interference and the home point has been recorded correctly. If the wireless signal reconnects during the failsafe return, the pilot can turn off App return hint or toggle Auto Return switch to the left again to cancel, and the drone will hover at the current position.

FIMI-X8SE2022-Camera-Drone- \(8\)

  • Low-power Protection
    In flight, when the battery level is only enough for RTH, App advises users to return, and the drone will return automatically after 10 seconds countdown. When the battery level is only enough for landing, App advises users to land as soon as possible, and the drone will land automatically after 10 seconds countdown. When the battery level is at 10% usage left, the drone will be forced to land. FIMI-X8SE2022-Camera-Drone- \(9\)

  • Hovering on the Edge of No-fly-zone
    The drone will automatically hover in the restricted flight area designated by the state, such as the edge of airports, and the App will appear corresponding hints. The user can use sticks to fly the drone from the edge of the no-fly- zone, but the drone will not enter the no-fly-zone. FIMI-X8SE2022-Camera-

Intelligent Flight

  • Auto Take-off
    When the conditions are right, press Auto Take-off/Landing button for 2 seconds to take off. In GPS mode, the drone will take off to an altitude of 4 meters and hover for sticks control. In VPU mode, the drone will take off to an altitude of 1.2 meters and hover for sticks control. FIMI-X8SE2022
-Camera-Drone- \(11\)

  • Auto Landing
    When the conditions are right, press Auto Take-off/Landing button for 2 seconds to land vertically.

  • Auto Return
    When the drone is in flight, the user can toggle the auto return switch to the right to return the drone. When the return distance is less than 10 meters and flight altitude is less than 3 meters, the drone will ascend to 3 meters first and return to the home point; if the flight altitude is greater than or equal to 3 meters, the drone will directly return to the home point. When the return distance of the drone is greater than or equal to 10 meters and the flight altitude is less than 30 meters, the drone will ascend to 30 meters and return to the home point; if the flight altitude is 30 meters or more, the drone will directly return to the home point . The user can toggle the Auto Return Switch to the left to exit. FIMI-X8SE2022-Camera-Drone-
