- Power on the drone, then power on the remote control.
- Follow the on-screen instructions in the drone app to pair the drone with your smartphone via Wi-Fi (5G connection recommended for FPV).
- Perform compass calibration as instructed by the app or drone's indicator lights. This is crucial for accurate GPS functionality.
- Perform gyroscope calibration if necessary.
4. Operating Instructions
This section covers basic flight operations and advanced features of your LOPOM GPS Drone.
4.1 Basic Flight Controls
- Take-off/Landing: Use the one-key take-off/landing button on the remote or within the app.
- Throttle (Left Stick Up/Down): Controls altitude.
- Yaw (Left Stick Left/Right): Rotates the drone horizontally.
- Forward/Backward (Right Stick Up/Down): Moves the drone forward or backward.
- Left/Right (Right Stick Left/Right): Moves the drone sideways.
4.2 GPS Features

- GPS Auto Return to Home (RTH): The drone will automatically return to its take-off point if the battery is low, connection is lost, or the RTH button is pressed. Ensure a clear landing area.
- Follow Me Mode: The drone will automatically follow the remote controller or smartphone (if GPS is enabled on the device).
- Waypoint Flight: Plan a custom flight path by tapping points on the map within the app. The drone will fly along the designated route.
- Points of Interest (Orbit Mode): Select a central point on the map, and the drone will orbit around it at a specified radius and altitude.

The drone features brushless motors providing enhanced stability and up to 7-level wind resistance, allowing for more stable flight in moderate wind conditions. However, it is always recommended to fly in calm weather for optimal performance and safety.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your drone.
- Clean Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone body, camera lens, and motors after each flight. Avoid using liquids.
- Inspect Propellers: Check propellers for any cracks, bends, or damage before and after each flight. Replace damaged propellers immediately.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not fully discharge batteries for extended periods. Charge them to about 50-60% for long-term storage.
- Motor Inspection: Ensure motors are free from debris and spin smoothly.
- Firmware Updates: Check the official app periodically for any available firmware updates for the drone and remote control.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LOPOM GPS Drone, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drone does not power on | Battery not charged or incorrectly installed. | Ensure battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. |
| Drone drifts during flight | Improper calibration or strong wind. | Perform compass and gyroscope calibration. Fly in calmer conditions. |
| No FPV video feed | Wi-Fi not connected or weak signal. | Ensure drone Wi-Fi is connected to your phone. Move closer to the drone or fly in an area with less interference. |
| Drone flies out of range / unresponsive | Exceeded control range or signal interference. | Always fly within the specified control range (approx. 1600ft). Avoid areas with strong interference. The drone should initiate Auto Return to Home if connection is lost. |
| Short flight time | Battery not fully charged, old battery, or aggressive flying. | Ensure batteries are fully charged. Consider replacing old batteries. Fly more conservatively. |
