Product Features

1. Low-Voltage Protection:
   When the four indicator lights at the bottom of drone start flashing, it means that the drone’s battery power is low. At this time, please control the drone return.

2. Over-Current Protection:
   When the drone encounters direct impact from a foreign object, or is obstructed, or the blades are not rotating, the drone will go into the over- current protection mode.

3. Level Calibration Function:
   Place the drone on a level surface and at the same time, push both left and right joysticks to the lower right corners for 2 to 3 seconds; the indicator lights on the drone will blink rapidly, and they will return to solid status after about 2 to 3 seconds. The level calibration is successful.

4. High/Low Speed Function:
   Low speed by default when first powered-on. Possible to switch the function mode of high/low speed by pressing the right joystick for a short time. It is switched into high speed mode when two ”beep” sounds come from the remote control, pressing the right joystick for a short time under fast speed mode and then one “beep” sound would come from the remote control,then it is switched back into low speed mode.

5. 360°Stunt Flip Function:
   
   When you are familiar with the basic actions, you can proceed to explore even more exciting stunt actions. Fly the drone to a height of above 3 m above the ground, press the upper right corner button (Stunt Flip Button) on the remote control and simultaneously push the right joystick to the farthest position of Front/Back/Left/Right, the drone will now execute the Front/Back/Left/Right stunt flip function.
   Note: The drone will have the best stunt flip action when the batteries are fully charged.

6. Photo/ Video Shooting Function:

7. Photo shooting function: Press the Photo button, the drone indicator and the red indicator light on the camera will flash once when the photo has been taken.

8. Video shooting function: Press the Video button, the drone indicator and the indicator light on the camera will flash twice, and then turn long bright, it indicates the video is recording, press the Video button again, the indicator light on the drone is long bright, indicating the recording is complete.

9. Adjustable function of camera

As shown on the right, press the button A or B to adjust the camera angle in corresponding upward or downward.

8. Optical Flow Hover & Auto Hover Function:

9. Optical flow hover function:
   When the drone is turned on, the drone will automatically start the optical flow positioning function when hovering in the air, and the drone will remain stationary at a certain point.
   Note： 1.Achieve fixed-point accuracy of about 0.5 meters.
   If the light is dark, the ground reflects,the height is greater than 12 meters,or the wind is above level 2, the optical flow positioning will influenced under these conditions, at this time the indicator light of the drone will be flashing three times.

10. Auto hover function:
    After using the left joystick (throttle) to control the ascending/descending flight of the drone, release the left joystick (throttle) and the drone will hover at that height when the joystick is released.

11. Headless Function:

12. Defining forward direction:

  * Press on the power button of the remote control.  

  * Connect the battery to the drone, press the power button of the drone, and adjust the specified direction of the drone’s head under the headless mode as the new forward direction.  

  * Push the left joystick (throttle) on the remote control up to the farthest position and then pull down to the farthest position. When the remote control issues a long “beep” sound, it means the frequency and defining forward direction functions are completed.
2. Toggling between headless function and normal function:
  * After the drone is matched with the corresponding frequency, the drone would be in normal pattern by default. At this time the indicator light on the drone would be in a state of on for a long time. After pressing in on the right joystick of the remote control for 2 seconds, the remote control would make a sound of “beep, beep, beep” to show that it has entered into a state of headless mode. Press in the right joystick for 2 seconds then a long sound of “beep” would be heard to show an exit status. (When under the state of headless mode, four indicator lights on the drone flash slowly once every four seconds).  

  * Under the headless mode, the operator does not need to differentiate the head position of the drone, and only needs to control the drone’s direction front/back/left/right by using the right joystick direction on the remote control.  

3. Calibration for the definition of the front:  

When the drone encounters a direct impact with foreign objects in the headless mode, if there is an occurrence of deviation of the defined direction, it is only required to push both the left and right joysticks to the bottom left corners simultaneously after placing the flying direction of the drone in the correction position. When the LED indicator of the drone turn to solid after slowly flashing for 3 seconds, it indicates the calibration is complete.
