4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Flight Controls

Familiarize yourself with the remote control layout and basic functions:

• Left Joystick: Controls altitude (up/down) and rotation (yaw left/right).
• Right Joystick: Controls forward/backward and left/right movement (pitch and roll).
• One-Key Take-off/Landing: Press the designated button for automatic take-off or landing.
• Emergency Stop: Typically a combination of joystick movements or a dedicated button to immediately stop the motors.

4.2 Advanced Flight Features

• Altitude Hold Mode: The drone maintains a stable altitude, allowing for easier control and smoother video recording.
• Optical Flow Localization: Utilizes a downward-facing camera to analyze ground patterns, providing enhanced stability and precise hovering, especially indoors or at low altitudes.
• Headless Mode: In this mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, simplifying control regardless of the drone's front direction.
• 360° Tumbling: Execute aerial stunts with a dedicated button press.
• One-Key Return Home: The drone will automatically return to its take-off point. Ensure GPS signal is strong if available, or rely on optical flow for closer returns.
