INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE CONTROLLER

Remove the screw and slide the cover
down to insert the included 4 AAA
batteries.

3.

Arm the transmitter by moving the throttle stick to full throttle and then down

to low throttle. The transmitter will beep once confirming that it is now armed.

QUADCOPTER SENSOR CALIBRATION

If the quadcopter is constantly drifting in the same direction or the quad is not
maintaining altitude, or any time a new  ight control board has been installed,
the sensors on the Dromida XL should be calibrated.

1. Calibrate the sensors before the  rst  ight. Center all the trim adjustments.
To center the trim settings, hold down one side of the trim button until you

hear a long beep. If the controller stops beeping, release the trim button
and hold down the other side.

2. Place your Dromida XL on a

level surface and link the
quadcopter with the controller
and arm the transmitter.

3. Press and hold the right stick in its

lower right corner.

4. Move the left stick down and to the

right. When the quad LEDs start
to  ash, release both sticks. The
LEDs will stop  ashing when the
calibration is complete.

FLYING

PROP GUARDS

NOTE: Prop guards are included to help protect the propellers from accidental
contact with obstacles. We recommend they be installed prior to your  rst  ight.

Fit the bottom prop guard retainer over the alignment pin on the motor cover.
Press the prop guard in place as shown with the pins in the alignment holes. It
should  t snugly over the screw bosses on the retainer. Secure the prop guard
and retainer using three screws included in the package. Repeat this procedure
for the other three prop guards.

LINKING AND ARMING

1. Turn on the controller.

2. Connect the battery to the Dromida XL and place
it on a level surface. The LED on the quad will flash
rapidly when the quad is linked to the controller
and ready to fly.
flash slowly until the transmitter is armed.

The LEDs on the quad will then

ALWAYS unplug the battery after

flying! Damage to the battery

may result if left connected.

MOTOR OFF PANIC BUTTON ! In the event of a crash, hold down on the Motor
Stop Button to disable power immediately.

FLYING BASICS

1. Place the Dromida XL on a smooth, level sur face away from yourself, spectators,
and obstacles. The quad should be facing away from you.

2

2. Start the motors by holding the MOTORS START/STOP button for 1.5 seconds.
Props will automatically spin slowly.

3. Press the AUTO TAKEOFF/LAND button and the Dromida XL will climb to
an altitude about eye level. The quad will attempt to maintain this altitude
as long as the left stick is not moved up or down.

NOTE: You can also take off by moving the left stick up.

4. Move the left stick up or down to increase or decrease altitude.

5. Use the right stick to move left, right, forward, or backward.

6. Use the left stick (left/right direction) to rotate the Dromida XL.

7. Press the AUTO TAKEOFF/LAND button during flight and the Dromida XL
will decrease in altitude until it detects landing. After landing the motors
will stop.

NOTE: You can also land by holding the left stick down until the Dromida XL
contacts the ground. Continue holding down until the motors stop.

TO PREVENT MOTOR DAMAGE ALWAYS BE SURE THE
THROTTLE IS OFF WHEN THE BLADES ARE OBSTRUCTED

OR CONTROL IS LOST. PUSH THE BUTTON!

DUAL RATES

Control sensitivity can be changed by pushing
down and releasing the right stick on the controller.

The default is low rate when the flight mode LED

is blue. The controller will make a beep and the
flight mode LED will change to orange indicating
high rate. This mode should be used when more
agility is desired. Pushing down on the right stick
again will return the controller to low rate indicated
by a beep and the flight mode LED changing back to blue. This mode should be
used when learning to fly or smoother video is desired (if equipped with a camera).

The overall controls can be adjusted independently by rate mode:

1. Hold down the right stick until the controller beeps once.

2. Continue to hold down the right stick and advance the throttle to the desired
setting.

3. Release the right stick and return the throttle to 0%.

The default setting for low rate mode is when the throttle stick is at
50% (midstick).

ALTITUDE HOLD

The Dromida XL has a barometer built in to the flight control board that detects

the surrounding air pressure which enables the quad to maintain a set altitude
automatically. After auto-takeoff, the Dromida XL will climb to a height of about

1.5m above its position at takeoff and then will attempt to maintain that altitude.
Move the throttle stick up or down to change the set altitude position. When
the stick is released back to center, the quad’s current height will be the new
set altitude.

NOTE: It is normal to see slight deviations from the set altitude. Windy
conditions or sensors that are out of calibration may increase the deviation
from the set altitude. Recalibrate the sensors if the quad is flying erratically
or does not appear to be maintaining altitude.

FLIPS

Your Dromida XL can
perform a flip when
the left stick is pressed
inward and released,
followed by moving the
right stick in the desired
 ip direction. This stunt
needs lots of room and
should be done outside
free of obstacles.

NOTE: When the battery voltage is low ( ashing LEDs) the  ip function is disabled.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

The LEDs on the Dromida XL will  ash slowly when the LiPo battery voltage is
low. Thirty seconds after the lights begin to flash the Dromida XL will begin the
auto-land procedure. Always unplug the battery after  ight. The battery

needs to be charged before the quadcopter is stored.

The controller will make five quick beeps when the A A A batteries need to
be charged.

MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The Dromida XL is equipped with motor overload protection circuitry

that shuts down the motors in the event the propellers become
blocked by an obs tructi on and throttle i s applie d. In ord er to rese t
the overload protection you will need to free the Dromida XL from

the obstruction and cycle the power to the transmitter and the
quad. I f the overloa d pro tection is tri ggered r epea tedl y or late into a  igh t then it
may prematurely cause the low battery indicator to  ash the LEDs. Disconnect
the battery and wait several seconds before reconnecting it. If the LEDs continue
to  ash then you must recharge the battery.

UPGRADING a DROMIDA XL UAV to FPV

Follow these instructions if you purchased the camera and mount separately to
convert your Dromida XL UAV to FPV. Part numbers for the camera and mount
can be found in the parts list at the end of this manual.

1. Install the camera mount onto the underside of the frame using the three

screws included with the mount. Do not over-tighten these screws.

2. Align the rails on

the camera with the
slots in the camera
mounting plate and
slide the camera
back until it clicks
into place. Con rm
that the camera is
secured.

3. Connect the camera
wire to the camera
and to the quad
as shown. The
connectors can only
 t in one direction.
Do not force them.

RECORDING VIDEO & PICTURES WITHOUT THE APP

FPV Version Only

1. If you remove or

need to replace the
memory card in the
camera, insert it as
shown with the gold
contact points facing
down, away from the
Dromida XL. Push the
card in until it clicks
into place. To release the card, push in until it clicks and the card will spring
out of position to be removed. The memory card should never be inserted or
removed from the camera when the battery is plugged in. When inserting
the card, be sure to align the card correctly into the card slot.

2. Turn on the controller and connect the battery to the Dromida XL. Before taking

pictures or video you must allow the camera 30 seconds to initialize. Pictures
or video taken before the camera has initialized may not be saved to the card
or the file(s) will be corrupted.

3. Use the PICTURE and VIDEO buttons on the controller to take still images and

video recordings. Pressing and releasing the VIDEO button will start video
recording indicated by a long ‘beeeep’ from the controller. Pressing and
releasing the button again will stop recording, indicated by a short ‘beep’
from the controller, and the LEDs on the Dromida XL will flash. Pressing and
releasing the PICTURE button on the controller will take a photo indicated by a
short ‘beep’ from the controller. Photos can be taken using the PICTURE button
on the controller even if the DroneView camera is recording video. Allow at
least 2 seconds after taking a picture before taking another picture.

NOTE: Avoid pressing and holding the video and picture buttons. A quick ‘press
and release’ is sufficient to activate the camera.

NOTE: The DroneView camera’s maximum video length is 5 minutes. If video
is recorded for longer than 5 minutes the DroneView camera will automatically
close the video file and start a new file. There may be a short loss of video footage
during this switch to a new file. The DroneView will continue to create new video
files every 5 minutes of continuous recording until the memory card becomes
full or the battery is disconnected. Corrupt or missing files may result in video
recording being stopped in this way.

6. After you have retrieved your files from the memory card (copy the files you
wish to keep to a safe location) you can delete the files on the memory card.

The DroneView camera will create the sub folders it needs if they are deleted

from the card.

USING THE DRONEVIEW APP

The DroneView app is free software for your WiFi-capable Apple or Android device
that allows you to connect to the DroneView camera to use the FPV (First Person
View) function as well as to take videos and pictures and upload and view them
directly to your device.

1. Install the “DroneView” app
from Google Play (Android) or
the App Store (Apple).'

2. Insert the memory card into the
camera and connect a charged LiPo
battery to the Dromida XL.

5. With your device connected to
the DroneView WiFi network,
open up the DroneView app. It
may take several seconds for the
app to locate and connect to the
DroneView WiFi network.

NOTE: If you’re in a populated
WiFi environment, it may take longer.

6. Once connected you will see on your device the image seen by the camera
(referred to in this manual as the FPV feed). Press anywhere on the screen to
pull up the main options.

Picture Button - Press to take a still image. Note: pictures cannot be taken with
the app while recording is in progress.

Video Button – Press to start recording (red stop button appears on right when
recording).

File Gallery Button – Opens gallery to display contents of memory card for

viewing, exporting and deleting.

Settings Button – Opens the setting menu.

NOTE: The FPV feed is for the purposes of displaying what the camera is
recording to improve the quality and accuracy of videos and pictures with respect
to the pilot’s intended field of view. We do not recommend attempting to fly the
Dromida XL relying solely on the FPV feed. Delays in the FPV feed can cause the
image shown in the app to not represent the exact current position of the Dromida

XL. Any interruption of the FPV feed will not be present in the recorded video files.

Flying without maintaining line of sight of the quad is unsafe.

FILE GALLERY

Opening the file
gallery displays the
contents of the
memory card in the
camera. Each
thumbnail represents
a picture or video.
Videos have a small
camera icon and the
length of the videos
on the thumbnails.

Pictures can be
viewed by clicking
on the picture
thumbnails. In order
to view videos, you
must first export
them by pressing

Select and then pressing each thumbnail that you wish to export. Press Export
to upload the files to your device. Pictures and videos will be copied to your device’s
camera roll. They can also be viewed in the DroneView app after the exporting
is complete by pressing the thumbnail you wish to view.

NOTE: We do not recommend exporting videos that exceed 3 minutes in
length because of the amount of time it will take to export the files. For longer
videos or a larger quantity of videos, we recommend removing the memory
card from the camera and transferring the contents directly to a PC using a
card reader.

When you have
confirmed that
the files have
been successfully
transferred to your
device’s camera roll,
press Select and
choose the files you
wish to delete if you
no longer want them
in the file gallery.

SETTINGS

The settings menu

allows you to change
the WiFi name, adjust
brightness and
contrast, date code,
resolution mode, and
rotate camera view.

Changing the WiFi
Name will change
how the Camera is
identified in the WiFi
network list.

The Brightness and Contrast will adjust the FPV feed display qualities. Video
and picture files will have the same display qualities as the feed. You may wish
to experiment with these settings depending on lighting conditions and personal
preferences. Press reset to return the brightness and contrast to the default values.

Resolution Mode switches the camera output between 1080p @ 30 frames/sec
and 720p @ 60 frames/sec. 1080p mode will provide you with a larger field of
view from the camera compared to 720p mode. 720p mode has the advantage
of smoother video recording which is also more suitable for post editing such
as applying slow-motion to video footage.

The Date Code will display the current date on the FPV feed when the Date Code
is turned ON. The date will also be seen in video recordings and pictures in the
same format as seen on the FPV feed. The Date Code is automatically updated
to match the date of your device when connected via WiFi network.

Rotate View will rotate the FPV feed and recorded videos and pictures 180°.
This feature is needed when the DroneView camera is used independently of the
Dromida XL with a separate R/C receiver and is mounted on top of a surface
rather than underneath like on the Dromida XL.

If you made any changes in the settings menu then you will be prompted to save
when exiting the settings menu. If you select NO when prompted to save then
the changes will be discarded. iOS Only - If you change the WiFi name then you
will need to exit the DroneView app and select the newly named network in the
WiFi setting options of your device.

USING TWO DEVICES SIMULTANEOUSLY

The DroneView camera can be connected with up to two devices simultaneously.
Two devices will have the ability to connect to the DroneView WiFi network and
share the FPV feed from the camera. Both devices will also be able to take pictures
and start/stop video recording.

5

NOTE: Exporting can only be done with one device at a time. Attempting to
export files simultaneously from a DroneView camera to two devices may cause
the transfer to freeze.

counter-clockwise rotating motors.
Be sure that you are replacing a
damaged motor with the correct
part by confirming the wire colors
of the replacement motor match the motor wires you are removing.

FLIGHT CONTROL BOARD REPLACEMENT

Replacing the flight control board is not a difficult procedure, but there are many
screws that need to be taken out to remove the flight control board from the
quad. Have a clean work space prepared and we recommend using a container
to hold all the screws.

4. There are four screws holding
each motor cover to the frame.
Remove all four motor covers
from the frame. The motors
should come out with the
covers. Disconnect the motors
and set the covers aside. We
recommend labelling each
cover so they are installed
back in the correct locations.

5. Remove the three lens covers
from the underside of the
frame. Notice that there are
three different screw sizes so
far in this procedure. Make
a note of the sizes used in
the different holes to make
reassembly easier.

6. Unscrew the camera connector
and the batter y connector from
the frame.

NOTE: Be fore moving on to ste p 7,
take a close look at how the wires

frame and start feeding the wires out through the holes in the frame. If the
foam sleeves came off, slide them back on to the screw bosses as shown
in the picture.

8. Reassembly is the reverse of steps 1-7. Take care when installing the covers
to not pinch or sever the wires with screws. If a part does not feel like it is
fitting back into place properly, do not force it. Check that the part is properly
aligned and that the wires and LEDs are not interfering with the installation.

9. Before attempting to fly your Dromida XL, recalibrate the sensors.

● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

● Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
