Additional Smart Mode Features:
FOLLOW ME FUNCTION
The Follow Me function allows the TYPHOON to
follow the pilot, adjusting its location to the location
of the ST10+. This function is enabled when ST10+
GPS positioning completes, and the TYPHOON is
using shared GPS signal with the ST10+. At this time,
you will see orange , and green follow in
When in Follow Me function, the TYPHOON will
follow the movement of ST10+ if there is no extra
operation on the ST10+. The flight status is also
controllable when you operate ST10+ and CGO3.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In Follow Me function, the
aircraft will maintain a constant altitude and cannot
detect obstacles. Pilots who change their altitude by
for example, moving to higher ground, during flight
should be mindful of this.
WATCH ME FUNCTION
Watch Me function enables the camera to keep
tracking the remote controller no matter where and
how it moves as the camera can automatically tilt its
angle according to the controller.
Usually, the default function under Smart Mode is
Follow Me. Watch Me function can be switched to
by following steps:

Follow
In Watch Me function, the pilot will always be kept in the
frame wherever he moves.

Press , the button will change from ORANGE to
GREEN. And now it is in Watch Me function.
NOTE:
Once the TYPHOON is above 2m and out of
Smart Circle during flying, the TYPHOON yaw direction
will take the control itself. Camera lens will always point
to you as long as Flight Mode Selection Switch is in
Smart Mode. Please put the CGO3 Pitch Angle/Position
Control Slider in the middle position. If you want to trim
camera angle up, then just move the Pitch Angle/Posi-
tion Control Slider a bit up. If you want to trim camera
angle down, just move the slider down.
*SMART CIRCLE
In most cases the Smart Circle will keep TYPHOON
from coming within approximately 26 feet (8 meters)
of you (as long as you position yourself at least 26
feet/8 meters behind TYPHOON.
GEO-FENCE
The geo-fence is a virtual 'barrier' that will keep
TYPHOON from traveling further than 300 feet (91
meters). Although this limit can be adjusted using the
USB interface/programmer and softwar we strongly
recommend using the default limit at all times.
WARNING: Smart Mode only works when TYPHOON
VOLTS
has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If you take off in
12.3 V
Smart Mode and TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock it
ALT
21.4 ft will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This
is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in
G-SPD
Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if
0.0 mph
you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly
DIS
22.5 ft control TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft
may crash or even 'fly away'.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'fly aways'
are NOT covered under warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the ST10+ Personal
Ground Station is connected to less then 6 satellites,
the 'FOLLOW ME' feature will be disabled.
ANGLE (PILOT) MODE
VOLTS
12.3 V
When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the
ALT
middle position TYPHOON will be in Angle (also
21.4 ft
known as Pilot) Mode.
G-SPD
0.0 mph
Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode preferred by
DIS
experienced RC/drone pilots because TYPHOON
22.5 ft
will move in the direction the control stick is pushed
relative to the front/nose of the aircraft. So if you
push the right-hand stick to the left TYPHOON will
bank toward the left side and move to the left. This
means if the front/nose of TYPHOON is pointing
away from you it will move to the left, but if the
front/nose is pointing at you TYPHOON will move
to the right.
Additional Angle (Pilot)
Mode Feature:
POSITION HOLD AND
SELF-LEVELING
TYPHOON
automatically hold its
position (with a suitable
GPS signal/lock) and
maintain a level attitude
when the right-hand
stick is centered.
