Make small movements letting the stick return to the center. If you start to lose control, don’t panic. Just press land. LEFT ROTATION RIGHT ROTATION Pull the throttle left or right,...
TIPS ON 360° FLIPS Once you have become skilled with the basics of drone flight, you can try some advanced maneuvers. At a height of at least 10 feet, press and hold the 360° Flip button and move the direction lever in any desired direction to execute the flip. *Make sure to execute the flip outdoors in a space that’s free of obstacles.

TIPS ON 360° FLIPS FORWARD 360° FLIP Push the direction stick forward and the drone will perform a 360° flip in that direction. BACKWARD 360° FLIP Push the direction stick backward and the drone will perform a 360° flip in that direction.
At high speed the drone will pitch more than at low speed. Kaptur is quite fast at its high speed and requires more piloting skills to fly competently. For safety take time to develop advanced skills by practicing at low speed first.
TRIM ADJUSTMENT LEFT MOVEMENT RIGHT MOVEMENT SIDEWAYS TRIM When the drone drifts to the left or right side unintentionally, you can correct it by pressing in the throttle and holding while moving the direction stick in the opposite direction until it evens out.

FLYING OUTDOORS HOW TO PREVENT FLY AWAYS To prevent “fly-away” situations (where drones seem to fly away out of control) it is important to first test and practice within close range before letting the drone fly too far away. Each drone is designed to turn off the engines if the radio signal is lost. It is important to know and test the range of your drone before flying.
SHOOTING PHOTO/VIDEO 1. The memory card comes pre-inserted into the camera. 2. Set the camera in a desired position by pushing it up or down. Touch only the outer rim of the camera. Do not touch the lens. SHOOTING PHOTOS AND VIDEO 1.
