RTH-Process

1. Ensure the "home" point is recorded.

2. Press the return to home icon

3. The aircraft will adjust its direction.

4. The aircraft will climb to the safe altitude as set in the App
(1) Regardless of the current height of the aircraft, if the aircraft is within 5
meters of the horizontal distance from home point, it will land;
(2) If the horizontal distance from home point is between 5 - 20 meters,
aircraft will return at the current altitude;
(3) If aircraft is more than 20 meters away, if the altitude of aircraft is more
than the set return altitude ,it will return on same altitude, else it will climb
to set return altitude ,and then return to home;

5. Search for the Aircraft parking apron during the landing process (This
feature must be turned on in app before taking off and or landing)

One-key RTH

The aircraft is equipped with a downward optical flow vision positioning
system, which is composed of a downward vision camera and a TOF (time
of flight) sensor so that the drone can hover stably at low altitudes with­out GPS or when weak GPS signals.

Note (1). The Vision Systems work best with adequate lighting and
clearly marked or textured obstacles. It is not designed to completely
replace the pilots controls and judgement, please pay attention to the
aircraft and HUBSAN APP tips, and do not rely too much on the Visual
systems.

(2)The vision system cannot be used normally in scenes where the ambient
light is too bright, too dark, specular, water, reflective, sparsely
textured, etc.

(3)The best working range of the downward vision system is 0.5-5
meters. When it exceeds this range, the positioning performance may
decrease. Please fly with caution.

(4)Keep the Vision sensors clean at all times. Do not obstruct and interfere
with the Vision Sensing System.

(5)The optical flow vision system can only be used indoors, and cannot
be used outdoors. The drone will switch to GPS hold position mode
automatically outdoors.

will be damaged, which may cause the performance of the gimbal to decrease.
Please take good care of the gimbal and camera from physical damage.

Please keep the gimbal clean and avoid the gimbal from contacting foreign
objects such as sand or stone, otherwise it may block the movement of the
gimbal and affect its performance.

If the aircraft is placed on uneven ground or grass, the ground object touches
the gimbal, or the gimbal is subjected to excessive external force (such as
being bumped or broken) may cause the gimbal motor to be abnormal.

Do not add any objects to the camera head, otherwise it will affect the
performance of the head and even burn the motor.

Remove the gimbal protection latch before use and then turn it on. Reinstall
the gimbal latch to protect the gimbal during storage or transportation.
