4.2 Basic Flight Operations
- Power On: Turn on the drone and remote control. Ensure they are paired (indicator lights stable).
- One-Button Takeoff: Press the 'One click takeoff/landing' button on the remote control. The drone will automatically ascend and hover at a stable altitude.
- Ascending/Descending: Use the left joystick (Throttle Control) to control altitude.
- Forward/Backward/Side Flight: Use the right joystick (Direction) for forward, backward, left, and right movements.
- Landing: Press the 'One click takeoff/landing' button again, or gently lower the left joystick to land.
4.3 Advanced Features
- Optical Flow Positioning: The drone uses optical flow sensors for stable hovering, especially useful for indoor/outdoor flight.
- 360° Obstacle Avoidance: The drone features four-sided obstacle avoidance. When encountering obstacles, it will automatically avoid them, preventing collisions.
- Headless Mode: Press the 'Headless mode' button. In this mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, making it easier to control regardless of its front direction.
- Trajectory Flight: Using the app, draw a desired flight path on your screen. The drone will follow this trajectory automatically.
- 360° Roll: Press the 'One click scrolling' button to perform a 360-degree stunt roll.
- Speed Switching: Use the 'Speed switching' button to adjust flight speed (e.g., low, medium, high).
4.4 Camera Operation
- Dual Camera Switching: The S150 features a front 8K HD camera and a bottom optical flow lens. You can switch between these cameras via the app or remote control.
- 90° Electric Adjustment Camera: The front camera's angle can be adjusted remotely by 90 degrees for optimal shooting.
- Gesture Photography/Video: Make specific hand gestures (e.g., a 'V' sign for photos, a flat palm for video) while flying to trigger photo or video recording.
- Real-time HD Transmission: View live footage from the drone's camera on your connected smartphone via the app.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Battery Charging
Use the provided USB charging cable to charge the drone's 3.7V 2000mAh Lipo Battery. Charging time is approximately 60-80 minutes. Do not overcharge the battery.
5.2 Propeller Care and Replacement
- Regularly check propellers for damage (cracks, bends).
- If a propeller is damaged, replace it immediately using the spare propellers and screwdriver provided. Ensure the correct propeller type (A or B) is installed in the corresponding motor.
5.3 General Cleaning
Wipe the drone with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove dust or debris. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
6. Troubleshooting
- Drone not responding: Ensure both the drone and remote control are powered on and paired. Check battery levels.
- Unstable flight: Calibrate the drone before flight. Ensure propellers are undamaged and correctly installed. Check for strong wind conditions.
- Lost connection: If the drone flies out of range, it will not be lost. Re-establish connection by bringing the drone closer to the remote control and ensuring the front signal is clear.
- Low battery alarm: The remote control will emit an alarm sound when the drone's battery is low. Land the drone immediately and recharge the battery.
- Obstacle avoidance not working: Ensure sensors are clean and unobstructed. Avoid flying in extremely complex environments that may overwhelm the sensors.
