• Confirm a stable connection between the drone, remote controller, and app.

4.2 Takeoff and Landing

• One-Key Takeoff: Press the dedicated One-Key Takeoff button on the remote controller or in the app. The drone will automatically ascend to a safe altitude and hover.
• Manual Takeoff: Push both joysticks down and outwards to start the motors. Then, push the left joystick up to ascend.
• One-Key Landing: Press the dedicated One-Key Landing button. The drone will automatically descend and land gently.
• Manual Landing: Slowly pull the left joystick down to descend. Once landed, push both joysticks down and inwards to stop the motors.

4.3 Basic Flight Controls

• Left Joystick (Throttle/Yaw): Up/Down controls altitude. Left/Right controls rotation (yaw).
• Right Joystick (Pitch/Roll): Up/Down controls forward/backward movement (pitch). Left/Right controls left/right movement (roll).

4.4 Intelligent Flight Modes

These modes are accessible via the LE-IDEA app and require a strong GPS signal.

• Follow Me: The drone will automatically follow the remote controller or your smartphone, maintaining a set distance and altitude. Activate this mode in the app and ensure your device's GPS is active.
• Waypoint Flight (Point to Point Flight): Plan a custom flight path by tapping points on the map within the app. The drone will then fly autonomously along the designated route.
• Point of Interest: Select a central point on the map, and the drone will circle around it at a specified radius and altitude, capturing footage of the subject.

4.5 Camera Operation

• Photo/Video Capture: Use the dedicated buttons on the remote controller or the app interface to take photos or start/stop video recording.
• Electric Angle Adjustment: Adjust the camera's vertical angle (tilt) using the designated control on the remote controller or within the app for optimal framing.

4.6 GPS Auto Return Home (RTH)

The drone features a triple safety net for RTH:

• One-Key RTH: Press the RTH button on the remote controller or in the app.
• Low Battery RTH: The drone will automatically initiate RTH when the battery level is critically low.
• No Signal RTH: If the drone loses connection with the remote controller, it will automatically return to its last recorded home point.
