4.4 Remote Controller Setup
Insert batteries into the remote controller. Power on the remote controller, then power on the drone. The remote and drone should automatically pair. Refer to the remote controller's specific instructions for detailed button functions.
4.5 Mobile App Connection
Download the official Yasola drone application from your device's app store. Connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi network (usually named "Yasola-M9-XXXX"). Open the app to view the live camera feed and access advanced flight features.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Pre-Flight Checklist
- Ensure batteries are fully charged (drone and remote).
- Check propellers for damage and secure attachment.
- Verify obstacle avoidance module is correctly installed.
- Confirm GPS signal acquisition before outdoor flight.
- Check for clear flight path and safe operating environment.
5.2 Take-off and Landing
After powering on and pairing, place the drone on a flat, open surface. Use the one-key take-off button on the remote or the mobile app to initiate flight. To land, use the one-key landing button or manually descend the drone slowly.
5.3 Flight Controls
The remote controller uses standard drone control schemes. The left joystick typically controls altitude and yaw (rotation), while the right joystick controls forward/backward and left/right movement. Refer to the remote's diagram in the app for specific functions.
5.4 Camera Operation and Gimbal Control
The 4K HD camera captures high-quality aerial footage. The 3-axis mechanical gimbal provides stabilization and allows for remote adjustment of the camera's vertical angle (up to 90 degrees). Use the dedicated buttons on the remote or controls within the app to take photos or record videos.

5.5 GPS Positioning Features
The Yasola M9 drone utilizes GPS for stable flight and advanced features:
- Auto Return Home: The drone can automatically return to its take-off point in case of low battery, loss of signal, or manual activation.
- Follow Me Mode: The drone can track and follow the remote controller or a designated subject.
- Waypoint Flight: Plan a flight path on the app, and the drone will follow it autonomously.

5.6 Obstacle Avoidance System
The 360° laser obstacle avoidance system scans for obstacles within approximately 20 meters (60 feet). If an obstacle is detected, the remote control will alert you, and the drone will attempt to avoid it. For advanced users, the obstacle avoidance module can be removed.
5.7 Gesture Control
The drone supports gesture recognition for taking photos or recording videos. Face the aircraft camera and perform the specified gestures (e.g., V-sign for photo, open palm for video) for approximately 3 seconds to activate the function.
