SETUP
Your KODO FPV comes with a Power-On Fail-Safe. This ensures that
the motors will not start until the KODO has detected the controller.
1. Turn on the controller with the throttle
at its lowest position.
2. Connect the battery to the KODO
FPV and place it on a level surface.
Listen for two beeps. The red LED at
the back of the quadcopter will start
ashing slowly.
3. Move the throttle to its highest position. Listen for a beep.
4. Move the throttle back to its lowest position. Listen for three
beeps.
The KODO FPV’s motors are now armed and the quad is ready to
y. The red LED on the KODO FPV will become steady.

CORRECTING DRIFT
It is normal for the KODO FPV to drift slightly. However, if it drifts in any direction
consistently, press the trim button that is opposite the movement as many times
as needed to eliminate the drift.

Basic Flight
The controls are very sensitive and small stick movements should be used to the
control the quadcopter. If you get into trouble and see that the KODO FPV is going
to crash, move the throttle to its lowest position immediately.
The LED on the KODO FPV will flash slowly when the battery voltage is getting
low. Land as soon as possible and unplug the battery. Always recharge the
battery or batteries before storing the KODO FPV.
Advance the throttle slowly until your KODO FPV rises into the air.

APP CONTROLS
Tap the FLY button to connect to the FPV camera.
Tap the “?” button to view the help screens.
VR HEADSET
The VR Headset uses your smartphone to provide a more immersive image. The
focus and the Interpupillary distance (IPD) can be adjusted. The headset also has
a camera port that can be opened if you have an app that needs to overlay images
onto the scene from the camera.
Camera Button – Tap to capture a photo. A photo cannot be captured while
a video is being recorded.
Video Button – Tap to start /stop a video. While the video is being recorded, a
timer will be visible in the lower left corner of the screen.
Gallery Button – Tap to view photos and videos stored by the app. Open the
storage folder and tap on the thumbnail to view the image/video.
To delete an image/video
● Tap the Select button.
● Tap on the files to be deleted.
● Tap on the Delete button.
REV Button – Tap on this button to invert the image.
Split Screen Button – This button changes the display to a split screen view
so your device can be used with the VR Headset.
The headset has a camera tray that must be removed before the smartphone can
be installed. The tray can hold most smartphones, but does not have room for a
phone with a thick case. The phone should be linked to the KODO FPV and the app
set to the split screen mode before it is installed in the tray.
FLYING FPV
Your phone can be mounted in the holder on the controller or inserted in the VR
headset for a more immersive feel.
The range of the FPV camera is about 50 feet indoors, but may be less if the location
has a lot of electromagnetic interference or metal objects in the walls.
If you are new to FPV, start by flying line of sight until you can maneuver the drone
without having to think about which control to use. Practice by keeping both sticks
centered and making quick stick movements to maneuver the KODO FPV.
When you are ready to start FPV, we recommend that a spotter be available to
tell what the drone is doing. Master each of the following steps before moving to
the next one.
Step 1
● Take o f f.
● Hover at about 3 feet.
● Move a few inches to the right in any direction and return to the hover point.
Repeat moving left, forward, and backward.
● Slowly land.
The goal is to get used to the view from the camera, the sensitivity of the controls,
and judging your height.
Step 2
● Take o f f.
● Fly slowly (about 10 feet away.)
● Turn around and return to the launch point.
● Slowly land.
The goal is to maintain your height until you are ready to land.
