Once paired, the GameSir T1d controller provides tactile control over your DJI Tello Drone. The Tello App includes a dedicated screen that illustrates the function of each button and joystick on the controller. Familiarize yourself with these controls before flight.

• Left Joystick: Typically controls altitude (up/down) and yaw (rotation left/right).
• Right Joystick: Typically controls pitch (forward/backward) and roll (sideways left/right).
• Action Buttons (A, B, X, Y): Used for various in-app functions, such as taking photos, recording videos, or executing intelligent flight modes. Refer to the Tello App for specific assignments.
• Shoulder Buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2): May be assigned to quick actions or fine-tuning controls within the app.
• D-Pad: Can be used for menu navigation or specific directional commands.

Always ensure a stable connection between the controller, your mobile device, and the drone before takeoff. Practice basic maneuvers in a safe, open area.
