Flying Hover Camera Passport
Hover Camera Passport is unable to bear any additional weight. DO NOT hang
any objects on Hover Camera Passport, otherwise it will negatively affect
flight safety, operability, and flight time.
DO NOT cover the optical flow sensor and sonar located on the underside
of the device when operating Hover Camera Passport. Ensure that Hover Camera
Passport’s heat vent is not covered or obstructed in any way. Overheating may
cause a malfunction, damage, crash, or injury.
DO NOT operate Hover Camera Passport out of your sight (called “visual
line of sight,” or VLOS operation).
Maintain a safe distance from Hover Camera Passport during flight as close
contact could result in human hairs or other long fibrous objects being
tangled in the spinning propellers and rotors, which could cause damage or
injury.
While flying, keep Hover Camera Passport away from all valuable and fragile
items, including all furniture.
DO NOT knock, hit, push, or otherwise physically manipulate Hover Camera
Passport during flight. Only control the Hover Camera Passport with the Hover
Camera app from your connected mobile device.
When the battery only has 60 seconds of flight time left, Hover Camera
Passport will send a notification to the Hover Camera app. Please ensure Hover
Camera Passport is in a secure and safe environment for its automated landing
procedure so that Hover Camera Passport can be retrieved successfully. (Refer
to Flying Environment – Improper Environment.)
Hover Camera Passport’s LED indicator light will turn yellow when the battery
only has 30 seconds of flight time remaining. Hover Camera Passport will
automatically land and users will only be able to control Hover Camera
Passport horizontally.
In emergencies, you can retrieve Hover Camera Passport by tapping the “One-tap
Landing” button in the Hover Camera app or by grabbing Hover Camera Passport
from mid-air and pressing the power button. For detailed information, refer to
User Manual.
Avoid direct contact with Hover Camera Passport’s motor-mounting screws,
motors, and heat sink after flight, as they will be hot.
Keep animals away from Hover Camera Passport during power-on activation or
while in use as the sonar sensor emits high frequency sounds that may disturb
animals.
Hover Camera Passport emits a high frequency (40KHz) sound. Keep Hover Camera
Passport away from any devices or aircrafts that emit sounds at the same
frequency.
Using Intelligent Flight Modes
Maintain a safe distance from Hover Camera Passport when using intelligent
flight modes. Ensure that there are no obstacles near or along the flight
path.

Hover Camera Passport to avoid any possible crashes.
Intelligent flight modes are not recommended in the following circumstances to
avoid unexpected accidents:
- Dim or extremely bright environments.
- During bad weather conditions, including rain, fog, snow, lightning, hail, winds over 6 miles per hour (10 km/h), and other extreme weather conditions.
- The tracked subject has a similar color or pattern to the surrounding environment.
- The tracked subject changes shape drastically while moving.
- When Hover Camera Passport is flying above uneven or inclined surfaces.
Users should follow local privacy laws and regulations when using the intelligent flight modes.
Flying Environment
Proper Environment
Hover Camera Passport can be operated indoors at suitable venues or outdoors
when wind speeds are below 6 miles per hour (10 km/h). When wind speeds are 6
miles per hour (10 km/h) or higher, you may not be able to control Hover
Camera Passport properly. This poses a serious risk of damage to the Hover
Camera Passport, other property, or injury to nearby persons.

environment with minimal or no wind and ensure that there are no obstacles
that could disturb photographing or visual flight. Hover Camera Passport can
be flown in temperatures between 5°C – 35°C (41°F – 95°F) and in altitudes no
higher than 6,561ft(2000m) above sea level.

Hover Camera Passport in a well-lit and spacious environment and do not let it
fly beyond visual range.
Improper Environments:
DO NOT fly Hover Camera Passport in crowded areas to avoid causing
injury and make ensure that there are no animals in the surrounding area when
you are operating Hover Camera Passport.
DO NOT fly Hover Camera Passport in areas or near buildings with no-
flying signs.
DO NOT fly Hover Camera Passport in rain, fog, snow, lightning, hail,
storm, winds over 6 miles per hour (10 km/h), or any other extreme weather
environments.
DO NOT let Hover Camera Passport fly in areas with unstable ranges of
atmospheric pressures or with a sudden and dramatic altitude change, such as
from the window of a tall building.
DO NOT fly Hover Camera Passport in areas with strong magnetic fields.
Hover Camera Passport relies on an optical flow sensor and sonar to gauge its
height and position. The following types of environments may negatively affect
the performance of Hover Camera Passport:
- Dim or extremely bright
- Flickering or rapidly changing light conditions Avoid surfaces with one or more of the following characteristics:
- Solid color
- Reflective or transparent (for example above water)
- Moving (for example blowing grass, above a crowd, moving vehicles, )
- Strong sound absorption
- Irregular or unclear texture
- Repetitive textures
- Inclines greater than 20°
- Snow
Hover Camera Passport Components
Before each flight, ensure that Hover Camera Passport and all of its
components, including, but not limited to, its camera, gimbal, propulsion, and
battery, are all in good operating condition.

preventing the gimbal’s normal operation.
Propulsion System
Hover Camera Passport’s propellers may cause damage or injury to objects or
people in close proximity during operation. Carefully read the following
guidelines.
Ensure that rotors and propellers are free from any objects that could
negatively affect performance.
a. Propellers
- Ensure that propellers are not damaged. For safety purposes, any damaged propellers must be replaced with new ones. Refer to the User Manual for instructions on how to replace propellers.
- Ensure Hover Camera Passport is powered off before touching or manipulating the propellers.

all times, and not more than 66 feet(20m) away, the user should always
consider a safe location for bringing Hover Camera Passport in to land in case
of such a low battery warning or any other circumstances (strong winds, rain,
etc.) that might necessitate a quick landing. If this is your first time using
an app that operates a flying device, follow the flying tutorials within the
Hover Camera app to familiarize yourself with Hover Camera Passport and its
operation.
