3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to assemble and prepare your Meteor75 Pro for flight. Refer to the accompanying video for visual guidance.

3.1 DJI O4 Air Unit Installation

1. Insert the O4 camera into the camera bracket. Ensure the forward direction of the O4 camera aligns with the connector.
2. Place the slots of the O4 camera bracket into one hole of four shock-absorbing balls separately. Repeat for all four balls.
3. Install the shock-absorbing mount's slots into the corresponding holes of these balls. Repeat for all four points.
4. Check the installation status of the shock-absorbing balls. The camera protection should be upward.
5. Place the side of the camera with the connector facing towards the canopy. Align the holes of the camera's shock-absorbing mount with the holes in the canopy.
6. Secure the camera and canopy with two M2*4 flat head socket cap screws from both sides. After adjusting the camera angle (10° to 35°), tighten the screws to ensure proper installation.

3.2 VTX Shock Absorption Module Installation

1. With the side of the HD module that has the antenna facing up, insert the 6.6mm shock-absorbing balls into the module's holes, ensuring that the higher end of the shock-absorbing balls is facing down.
2. Insert the 6Pin connector cable into the O4 VTX module.
3. Insert the VTX antenna into the antenna connector on the O4 VTX module.
4. After the installation of O4, please check the canopy in various views to ensure shock-absorbing balls are tight and no risk of falling off.

3.3 Final Assembly

1. Remove the two screws that secure the flight controller on the Meteor75 Pro O4.
2. Distinguish the front of the drone, ensuring that the head of Meteor75 Pro O4 aligns with the arrow on the flight controller.
3. Insert one end of the O4 VTX cable into the connector on the flight controller.
4. Make the O4 VTX module upward, and then place the O4 VTX module on the flight controller so that its holes align with the holes of the entire flight control unit.
5. Tighten the forward shock-absorbing ball of the O4 VTX module with one M1.4*10*4 Phillips flat washer head tapping screw by Phillips screwdriver.
6. Place the canopy on the O4 VTX module, making sure the camera is forward and the holes of the canopy align with the shock-absorbing balls.
7. Place the VTX antenna through the rear hole of the canopy.
8. Tighten the canopy with three M1.4*10*4 Phillips flat washer head tapping screws by Phillips screwdriver.
9. After installation, please check the tightness of the shock-absorbing balls on the O4 VTX module. It is recommended that the shock-absorbing balls should not be significantly compressed so that the balls maintain the height to achieve optimal shock absorption.
10. Replace the camera cable with tweezers. To reduce vibration, ensure the camera cable is suspended and prevent it from touching the canopy.

4. Operating Instructions

The Meteor75 Pro is designed for advanced users familiar with FPV drone operation. It requires a compatible remote control and FPV goggles (not included) for flight. Ensure your remote control is properly bound to the drone and all settings are configured according to the flight controller's software (e.g., Betaflight) before attempting flight.

4.1 Pre-Flight Checks

• Inspect propellers for any damage or cracks.
• Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely attached.
• Verify all connections (camera, VTX, motors) are secure.
• Check the flight area for obstacles and ensure it is safe for flight.

4.2 Basic Flight

After powering on the drone and connecting your FPV goggles, arm the motors using your remote control's designated switch. Gently increase throttle for takeoff. Practice hovering and basic maneuvers in an open, safe environment before attempting advanced flights.

4.3 Landing

Reduce throttle slowly to descend. Disarm the motors once the drone has safely landed to prevent accidental propeller spin.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Meteor75 Pro.

• Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for bends, nicks, or cracks. Replace damaged propellers immediately as they can cause vibrations and affect flight stability.
• Cleaning: Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris from the motors, flight controller, and other components. Avoid using liquids directly on electronics.
• Battery Care: Store LiPo batteries at storage voltage (around 3.8V per cell) when not in use for extended periods. Do not overcharge or over-discharge batteries.
• Screw Tightness: Periodically check all screws, especially those securing the flight controller and motors, to ensure they are tight.
