SYNCING THE MICRO VIDEO DRONE
Important! When syncing the Micro Video Drone with the
controller, always make sure that the Micro Video Drone is
on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are
in the center position. This ensures that the 6-axis gyro is
properly programmed to mimic your trim settings.
The Micro Video Drone utilizes an automatic 2.4Ghz channel
selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side in
the same wireless range with no interference.
FOR ONE-PERSON PLAY
1. Before starting, make sure that the power switches on
both the controller and the Micro Video Drone are in the
OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4Ghz
devices in the area.
2. Turn the Micro Video Drone ON and set it down on a flat
surface. The FRONT AND REAR LED INDICATORS will
begin to flash rapidly.
3. Turn the controller ON, one beep will sound. The
FRONT AND REAR LED INDICATORS will flash slowly.
20

Size:4”Wx4"H_Output:100%_Prints:1/1,Blk
4. Push the THROTTLE CONTROL STICK all the way
forward (one beep will sound) and then pull the
THROTTLE CONTROL STICK all the way back. A
second beep will sound and the FRONT AND REAR
LED INDICATORS will be solid, indicating the controller
and the Micro Video Drone are successfully synced. If not,
repeat above steps.
FOR MULTI-PERSON PLAY
5. Before starting, make sure that the power switches on
both the controller and the Micro Video Drone are in the OFF
position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices
in the area.
6. Each person needs to sync their Micro Video Drone at a
different time to avoid interference. Follow steps 1 to 4
above ensuring that no one else is syncing at the same time.
7. After syncing, each player’s Micro Video Drone should be left
ON until all players have synced their Micro Video Drones.
8. Should there be interference, all players must turn off their
controllers and Micro Video Drone for up to 60 seconds and
then begin the syncing process again.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
Below is a list of basic flight functions. While learning to fly
the Micro Video Drone, it is best to start in a large space
until you get used to the basic controls. As you master flying
your Micro Video Drone, you can move to more advanced
maneuvering techniques.
1. Move the THROTTLE CONTROL STICK upward to
increase the speed of the propellers and the Micro Video
Drone will accelerate upward and ascend.
Move the THROTTLE CONTROL STICK down to
decrease the speed and the Micro Video Done will
decelerate and descend (see figure F).
Fig. F
21
PREPARING FOR FLIGHT
