3.2 Aerial Photography Tips and Tricks
(1) Perform pre-ight checks.
(2) Capture photos and record videos during safe ight status.
(3) Capture photos and record videos in sunny weather with little wind�
(4) Set camera settings as per shooting requirements, such as video resolution, picture size, etc.
(5) Carry out a trial ight before actual ight to help plan the route and frame your photos and videos.
(6) Push the joystick as slowly as possible during ight to ensure the quadcopter ies smoothly.
4 Failsafe Protections
If the Quadcopter loses connection with the Remote control (i.e., you lose control), the Failsafe mode kicks in and the Automatic Flight Control system will control the
Quadcopter, y it back to the Home Point and land it safely. This reduces chances of losing or crashing the Quadcopter in case the Remote control signal is lost.
● Home Point: Indicates the Quadcopter's position when the Quadcopter successfully scans the GPS signal.
4.1 Scenarios when Quadcopter enters Failsafe mode
(1) When Remote control is powered off�
(2) The Quadcopter has own beyond the effective range of the Remote control signal.
(3)There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote control�
4.2 Failsafe Procedure
In case you lose control of the Quadcopter during ight, the Quadcopter will automatically follow the below operating procedures:
(1) The Quadcopter automatically slows down and hovers in one location�
(2) If the Quadcopter regains signal from the remote control within 2 seconds, ight control returns to normal mode, and the Quadcopter will not enter Failsafe
mode and will not automatically y back to the Home Point.
(3) If the Quadcopter does not regain signal from the remote control within 2 seconds, the Quadcopter enters Failsafe mode, and initiates automatic ight control
to y back to the Home Point. The Quadcopter will now continue to hover for 15 seconds and evaluate vertical Distance to the Home Point. If the distance is
more than 25 meters, the Quadcopter will commence to y back to the Home Point. If the Distance is less than 25 meters, the Quadcopter will y up vertically
to 25 meters higher than the Home Point, and then commence to return. When the Quadcopter reaches the Home Point it will hover for 5 seconds and then
automatically land�
● To ensure the Quadcopter successfully ies back to the Home Point when it is in Failsafe mode, please take-off only after the Quadcopter successfully scans the
GPS signal�
● The Quadcopter cannot automatically avoid obstacles in its path when it is ying in Failsafe mode.
4.3 How to regain control during Failsafe Procedures
When the Quadcopter is out of control, toggle the S4 switch on the remote control several times to switch ight mode. Once the signal is restored, the remote
control will regain control, and you can continue to use the remote control to operate the Quadcopter.
5 Low Battery Level Alarm Function
When quadcopter battery power is low, you must land as soon as possible, or else the quadcopter may lose power completely and crash, damaging the quadcopter
or creating a dangerous situation. In order to prevent danger caused by low battery, Quadcopter denes Level 1 low voltage alarm (battery level under 50%) and
Level 2 low voltage alarm (battery level under 20%), and sends alarms with indicators on the quadcopter and on the Remote control .
Battery Alarm Flight indicator light status Low Power risk prompt
Low Power alarm 4 arm indicators Slow Blink
(blinks on and off in 1s intervals)
In level 1 alarm condition, Quadcopter ies normally for few minutes and then initiates
Level 2 alarm. Be cautious while ying, keep the Quadcopter within sight and do not to y
too high or too far�
Severe Low Power
alarm 4 arm indicators Fast Blink (blinks twice within 1s)
In level 2 alarm condition, Quadcopter ies normally for few minutes and then initiates
Failsafe mode and commences to automatically land. Under such a situation, please
return and land the Quadcopter as safely as possible, and do not push the throttle hard or
make big movements during ight.
During low-Power automatic landing, you can regain control of the Quadcopter by switching the ight mode switch S4. However, do not do so repeatedly, as it may:
1) Reduce battery service life due to over discharge�
2) Quadcopter may crash due to insufcient Power.

3 Common Troubleshooting
3�1 Solution for remote control joysticks center (neutral) position errors
When there is a big error in neutral position of remote control joysticks, the motors cannot start when performing CSC. Errors in Remote control joysticks neutral
position usually occur in two cases:
1. When quadcopter is ON and the joystick (except throttle) is not in neutral position-Solution: Move all Remote control joysticks to neutral position, and re-start the
quadcopter, to re-record the neutral position. If problem persists, it may be caused due to case.
2. Remote control joysticks have been trimmed, leading to deviation in neutral position, i.e., there is a large asymmetry in quadcopter joystick position-Solution:
Recalibrate the Remote Control�
a) The S2 switch is used for calibration of the joystick� Turn S2 to position 3
S2:
, then turn on the remote control, and at this time the status indicator starts
blinking (indicating joysticks calibration starts)� Turn the left and right joysticks clockwise and counter-clockwise respectively at the maximum stroke for two
circles, and then release the joysticks. (ensure that the joysticks stay at the maximum stroke throughout this process) Then, the status indicator in the middle
will go out. Last, turn S2 to position 1
S2:OK
, the photo shooting & video recording indicator will come on (green) and then go out 3s later. Now the calibration
completes successfully�
(b) Re-start the quadcopter, and pay attention whether or not it starts properly. If the problem cannot be solved by the above methods, please send back the remote
control to our factory for repair�
