2.5 App Installation and Connection
Download the companion app (refer to the user manual for specific app name and QR codes) on your smartphone. Connect your phone to the drone's Wi-Fi network. Once connected, open the app and select flight mode to begin.
2.6 Calibration
Before the first flight, or if flight stability is affected, calibrate the drone. Place the drone on a level surface. Follow the calibration instructions in the app or controller manual to ensure accurate flight performance.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Basic Flight Controls
The remote controller features two joysticks for flight control. The left joystick typically controls altitude and rotation, while the right joystick controls forward/backward and left/right movement. Familiarize yourself with these controls before flight.
3.2 One Key Start/Landing
The drone features a One Key Start/Landing function for simplified operation. Press the designated button on the controller or within the app to automatically take off or land the drone.

3.3 Altitude Hold and Optical Flow Positioning
The Altitude Hold feature allows the drone to maintain a stable height, making it easier to control and capture steady footage. Optical Flow Positioning further enhances stability, especially in indoor environments or areas with good ground texture.
3.4 Headless Mode
In Headless Mode, the drone's orientation is irrelevant to the control inputs. This simplifies flight for beginners, as the drone will always move relative to the pilot's position, regardless of which way the drone's front is facing.
3.5 3D Flips and Trajectory Flight
Perform impressive aerial maneuvers with the 3D Flip function. For automated flight paths, use Trajectory Flight by drawing a route on your smartphone screen within the app; the drone will follow the specified path.
3.6 Gesture Selfie and Speed Adjustment
Capture photos or videos with simple hand gestures using the Gesture Selfie feature. Adjust the drone's speed settings (e.g., low, medium, high) to match your skill level and flight environment.
3.7 Camera Operation
The 2K HD camera can be tilted up to 90 degrees remotely via the controller or app. The dual-lens system allows for versatile capture of aerial views. Use the app to switch between lenses, record videos, or take photos.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Propeller Replacement
If a propeller is damaged or deformed, replace it promptly using the provided screwdriver and spare propellers. Ensure correct propeller (A or B) is installed on the corresponding arm.
4.2 Protective Guards
For indoor flights or to enhance durability against impacts, install the protective guards around the propellers. If guards become deformed, they will typically return to their original shape after a few days.
