6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Pre-Flight Checklist
- Ensure drone and remote batteries are fully charged.
- Propellers are correctly installed and free from damage.
- Fly in an open area, away from obstacles, people, and water.
- Check GPS signal strength (if flying outdoors).
- Connect the app to the drone's Wi-Fi.
6.2 Take-off and Landing
- Place the drone on a flat, level surface.
- Power on the drone and remote controller. Pair them by pushing the left stick up then down.
- Calibrate the gyroscope and compass as per app instructions (usually by rotating the drone).
- Press the One Key Take-off button on the remote or in the app. The drone will automatically ascend to a safe hovering altitude.
- To land, press the One Key Landing button. The drone will descend and land automatically. Alternatively, slowly pull down the left control stick to manually land.
6.3 Basic Flight Controls
- Throttle (Left Stick Up/Down): Controls altitude.
- Yaw (Left Stick Left/Right): Rotates the drone horizontally.
- Pitch (Right Stick Up/Down): Moves the drone forward/backward.
- Roll (Right Stick Left/Right): Moves the drone left/right (sideways).
6.4 Intelligent Flight Modes
GPS Auto Return Home (RTH)
When activated, or if the drone loses signal, goes out of range, or has low battery, the drone will automatically return to its take-off point using GPS. Ensure a strong GPS signal before flight for accurate RTH.

Follow Me
In this mode, the drone will automatically follow the remote controller or the mobile device, capturing your movements from above. Ensure you are in an open area with no obstacles.

Optical Flow Positioning
This feature uses a downward-facing camera to analyze ground patterns, providing stable hovering and precise positioning, especially useful for indoor flights or when GPS signal is weak.

Altitude Hold
The drone maintains a consistent altitude, allowing you to focus on directional control and camera operation without worrying about vertical stability.
Headless Mode
In Headless Mode, the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, making it easier to control regardless of which way the drone's front is facing. This is particularly helpful for beginners.
6.5 Camera Operation
The TSRC A6 is equipped with a 4K UHD camera that offers a 120° wide-angle view and can be adjusted 90° vertically. The 5GHz FPV transmission ensures stable and smooth video streaming to your connected smartphone, even during high-speed flight.
- Photo Capture: Tap the camera icon in the app to take a photo.
- Video Recording: Tap the video icon to start/stop recording.
- Camera Angle Adjustment: Use the dedicated button on the remote or slider in the app to adjust the camera's vertical angle.
