Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drone does not respond to controller. | Not paired, low battery, out of range. | Re-pair the controller, charge batteries, ensure drone is within operating range. |
| Drone drifts during flight. | Calibration needed, uneven surface at takeoff, wind interference. | Perform gyroscope calibration, take off from a flat surface, avoid flying in windy conditions. |
| Camera not recording/transmitting. | App not connected, insufficient storage, camera malfunction. | Ensure the app is correctly connected via Wi-Fi, check SD card (if applicable) or phone storage, contact customer support if issue persists. |
| Short flight time. | Battery not fully charged, old battery, aggressive flying. | Fully charge batteries, consider replacing old batteries, fly more conservatively. |
