DO NOT use batteries under the following conditions:
Damp, water damage | Fell, battery impact | Extrusion and deformation | Leakage |
DO NOT use the batteries when it is obviously abnormal to avoid power failure, crash, smoke and fire and other safety events.
Types | Consequences | Solutions |
No transmission image | The remote control and drone do not pair successfully, and the matching time is about 50 seconds | Automatically complete the matching before entering the APP operation interface |
USB permissions are not set | Please reinsert the cable correctly set the USB Settings option that pops up. Select "Transferring files" for Android phones, and "Trust" for iphones. | |
USB cable not inserted or loose | Insert the RC cable and ensure it is securely installed | |
Imaging freezing. (during flight) | Signal interference causes the image transmission signals unstable or interrupted | Choose an open area and pay attention to flying skills |
Be sure to choose an open area without interference.
The following is some skills for taking good photos and videos:
Weather | Sunny and well-lighted | clear and realistic, good color reproduction, high saturation, clear imaging |
Shooting Angle | Front-lighting | |
Video shooting |
|
Charger not included
Note: The drone and remote controller linking takes around 50 seconds.
