Setup Guide
1. Battery Charging
Ensure all batteries are fully charged before use.
- Remove the battery from the aircraft.
- Connect the battery to the USB charging cable.
- Plug the USB charging cable into a computer's USB port. A glowing red light indicates charging.
Charging Tip: Once the drone battery is fully charged, disconnect the USB stick promptly. The aircraft battery indicator will blink during charging and turn solid red when fully charged. For the remote control, the charger light will turn on (remote control and switch must be off) and turn off when fully charged.
2. Propeller Installation
The wings can be folded. Ensure correct installation for proper flight.
Important: Ensure the exact installation is correct, otherwise normal flights will not be possible. In the good position, there is no unfolding function for the wings.
Safety Note: Please install a safety belt to prevent motor damage.
3. Remote Control Overview
The remote control features an intelligent touch screen and various buttons for drone operation.
- Power Switch: Power on/off.
- Camera On/Off: Turn camera on or off.
- 360-degree Flip: Perform a 360-degree flip.
- Headless Mode: Activate/deactivate headless mode.
- Speed Switch: Adjust flight speed.
- Screen: Displays real-time image transmission and flight data.
- Confirm/Enter: Confirm selections.
- Takeoff/Landing: One-key takeoff/landing.
- Long press: For specific functions (e.g., emergency stop).
Note: No control board access. Current situation/scene is out of operation.
4. Smartphone Connection (Fly Plus App)
To use advanced features and real-time video transmission, connect your smartphone to the drone via the Fly Plus app.
- Download the "Fly Plus" app. It works with phones running iOS 10.0, Android 6.0 or higher.
- Refer to the "in-app instructions" section within the smartphone app for detailed connection steps.
Operating Instructions
1. Frequency Pairing and Calibration
- Ensure drone batteries are fully charged and installed.
- Power on the drone. The blue lights will flash, indicating it's in pairing mode.
- Turn on the remote control. You should hear a "drip" sound twice.
- The drone's flashing lights will change to solid, indicating successful pairing.
2. Calibration
Place the drone horizontally on the ground with the camera facing forward. Move the left control stick down-left and the right control stick down-right simultaneously. Once you hear a "drip" sound, the drone's indicator lights will flash and then become solid, indicating successful calibration.
3. Takeoff and Landing
Press the one-key takeoff button on the remote control to initiate flight. The drone will automatically ascend to a certain height.
To land, press the one-key landing button. The drone will automatically descend and land.
4. Flight Controls
The remote control allows for precise manipulation of the drone's movement.
- Throttle (Left Stick Up/Down): Controls altitude (ascend/descend).
- Yaw (Left Stick Left/Right): Rotates the drone left or right.
- Pitch (Right Stick Up/Down): Moves the drone forward or backward.
- Roll (Right Stick Left/Right): Moves the drone left or right (sideways).
5. Speed Adjustment
The flight speed can be adjusted using the speed switch on the remote control. There are typically slow, medium, and fast modes. Press the left stick down to cycle through speeds. You will hear "di" for slow, "di di" for medium, and "di di di" for fast. Repeat to cycle back to slow.
6. Headless Mode
In headless mode, the drone's orientation is irrelevant; it will move relative to the pilot's position. The blue lights at the rear of the drone will illuminate when headless mode is active.
Tip: Before entering headless mode, the drone's forward direction must be aligned with the pilot's forward direction on the ground.
7. 360-Degree Flip
To perform a 360-degree flip, press the dedicated 360-degree flip button on the remote control. The drone will ascend 2-3 meters. Push the right joystick to perform the flip.
Tip: 360-degree flips work better with full throttle. This function is prohibited in low-pressure areas.
8. Intelligent Return
The drone features intelligent positioning for return-to-home functions. If control problems occur, you can return home with one click, and the drone will automatically plan a matching return route.
- One-click return: Initiates an automatic return to the takeoff point.
- Low battery return: Drone automatically returns when battery is low.
- Lost contact return: Drone returns if connection is lost.
- Ultra-distance return: Drone returns if it flies beyond the control range.
9. Obstacle Avoidance
The SG601MAX drone is equipped with 360-degree omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. When an obstacle is detected, the system automatically stops and flies around it, flexibly avoiding navigation hazards to ensure flight safety.
10. Advanced Flight Modes
The drone supports various intelligent flight modes for creative aerial photography:
- Orbiting Flight: The drone circles a designated point.
- Fly with One Click: Simplified flight initiation.
- Spiral Flight: The drone flies in a spiral pattern.
- One-Click Remote Flight: Initiates a pre-programmed flight path.
- GPS Smart Follow: Multiple follow modes to track a moving subject.
- Waypoint Trajectory Flight: Plan a flight path by setting waypoints on the map.
11. Camera Operation
The drone is equipped with an 8K HD camera and a three-axis mechanical self-stabilizing gimbal for stable and high-quality aerial photography and video recording.
- Photo/Video Capture: Use the dedicated buttons on the remote control to take photos or start/stop video recording.
- Gimbal Control: The three-axis gimbal ensures smooth footage by stabilizing the camera during flight.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone and remote control. Avoid water or harsh chemicals.
- Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for damage (cracks, bends). Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided spare parts and screwdriver.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not overcharge or over-discharge. If not used for a long time, remove batteries from the drone and remote control.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the drone and store it in the organizer bag to protect it from dust and damage.
Troubleshooting
- Drone not taking off/unstable flight:
- Ensure batteries are fully charged.
- Verify propellers are installed correctly (A and B types).
- Perform calibration before flight.
- Fly in windless conditions.
- Low battery warning: The drone will indicate low battery by flashing lights and the remote control will emit continuous "di di di" sounds, prompting an urgent return operation. Slow flashing indicates a low battery level. It is forbidden to perform 360-degree flip operations when there are low voltage warnings.
- Loss of control/signal: The drone has an intelligent return function for lost contact. If within 5 seconds of signal loss, you can try to regain control by adjusting the remote control sticks. Otherwise, it will attempt to return automatically.
- Emergency Stop: In case of an emergency, press and hold the emergency stop button on the remote control for 2 seconds to force the drone to stop. This operation is very useful in emergencies.
- Drift Correction: If the drone drifts during flight, after 5 seconds, you will hear a "di" sound. Adjust the trim in the opposite direction of the drift to stabilize the drone. If no operation is performed within five seconds, the trim adjustment will automatically end or reset.
User Tips
- For optimal flight stability, ensure the drone is placed on a flat, level surface during calibration.
- Practice basic controls in an open, safe area before attempting advanced flight modes.
- Always keep the drone within visual line of sight, especially when learning.
- When flying at low altitudes (e.g., below 30cm), the drone may experience instability due to ground effect. Be mindful of this during takeoff and landing.
- Avoid mixing new and old batteries or different types of batteries.
- Remove batteries from the drone and remote control if storing for an extended period.
