Thumbstick up to arm
the frame, and then
launch the drone.
Move the left Throttle
Thumbstick up and
down to fly higher or
lower.

direction you want to fly.
This drone is designed to automatically maintain a hover so basic flight is easy and intuitive.
• Pulling the throttle backwards will reduce power
and the drone will descend.
• Stream live video from your drone’s point of view as you fly. Simply follow the in-app
instructions for streaming video.
• Record video or take pictures during your flight using the on-screen recording buttons
or the Photo or Video buttons located on your flight controller. See app for details.
• Higher quality video and pictures can be recorded directly to the micro SD memory
card located inside the drone. Once video has been recorded and you have completed your
flight, the video files can be downloaded to your smart device through the drone’s
Wi-Fi connection. Videos can also be downloaded directly by removing the Micro SD card
from the drone and inserting into a personal computer. See app for details regarding
recording and Micro SD card.
• When launching the drone, face the same direction
as the drone faces. Green blades face forward.
• Practice launching, hovering and landing before
attempting to learn other moves.
• Flying 2 to 3 feet above the ground will reduce ground
turbulence and make flying easier.
• When first attempting to fly in different directions, start
by tapping the direction stick until you have a feel for it.
Always move controls slowly until you become comfortable
operating the drone.
• Once you’ve mastered flying in directions, practice
rotational controls. Spin and keep drone facing the same
direction as flying becomes easier and more intuitive.
• If propeller blades come in contact with another object or you crash,
throttle down or land immediately to prevent possible or further damage.
• If anything prevents drone’s blades from spinning or they become
jammed, throttle down or land immediately. Do not attempt to fly until
obstruction has been removed and damage fixed.
• Should soemthing prevent drone’s blades from spinning, drone may
auto shutdown. LiPo battery will need to be unplugged then reconnected
to restore flying power.
• If the drone flies too far away, beyond the control range of the remote,
the drone will return to home or land to prevent the drone from flying
away out of control.
Micro SD slot is located
on the back of drone.
