Bind to Watch The aircraft is linked with remote controller by default before sales. It is necessary to bind the codes again if the dragonfly is going to be controlled with watch. Codes Binding Procedures Plug a small connector into the smaller needles on the gimbal mount to make a short circuit. Turn on the aircraft and immediately remove the connector. Then turn on the watch and hold the take-off button and land button at the same time for a few seconds until the watch says “Bind code begins…”. The watch will get connected with the aircraft when the screen shows the control interface.

Notes: If dragonfly receives no instruction for 10 minutes while powered on, it will emit an alarm sound, which is a normal. You could either unlock the motors or turn off the battery to stop that sound.
1. Place Dragonfly on a flat platform and turn on the battery by pressing & hold the power button on the tail. The aircraft will immediately start self-checking when the front red LEDs lights and rear blue LEDs quickly flashes.
2. When the blue LEDs slowly flashes and the aircraft gives out Di-Di sound, it indicates the checking of fly control system is completed.
3. When the gimbal is level and the aircraft gives out another Di-Di sound, it indicates that the gimbal is ready.
4. Turn on the watch by pressing & hold the power button. In a few seconds the watch will get connected to the aircraft when the screen shows the control interface. Wait until the aircraft gets at least 10 GPS satellites and an icon of “ ” shows on the watch before take-off. If the satellite signals are not stable, try it at another place.

One Key to Take off Orbit Fly ( Point of Interest )
Rotating(Pan Shot)
5m
Press and hold the orbit fly button and dragonfly will fly in an orbit around a center at the front. The radius of orbit is about 5 meters. The aircraft head will point to the center at all times. During orbit fly, press the leftward button once and the orbit will be 0.5 meter smaller. If press the right button, the orbit will be
0.5 meter larger. Pressing the hover button can stop the orbit fly mode.
Press the orbit button once and dragonfly will keep rotating autonomously in place clockwise. Tap on the hover button will stop the rotating. This rotating mode is not only used for pan-shot but also to turn the orientation of the aircraft.
Notes: The motors will stop rotating and be disarmed again if the aircraft doesn’t take off within 6 seconds after unlock.
Basic Fly Control
Before take-off, press and hold the arm button to activate the motors and check if they are rotating properly. Press the take-off button when the motors are still rotating and dragonfly will ascend to 5 meters and hover in place.
Push the joystick up and dragonfly will keep flying forward. Push the joystick down and dragonfly will keep flying backward.
Push the stick to the left and dragonfly will keep flying leftward. Push the stick to the right and dragonfly will keep flying rightward.
Press and hold the ascend button and dragonfly will keep ascending autonomously until 30 meters high.
Press and hold the descend button and dragonfly will keep descending autonomously until 5 meters high.
When you release the stick, dragonfly will immediately hover in place.
Notes: the red LEDs indicate the front of the aircraft. Always be aware of the orientation after chainging the position. Pressing and hold the joystick can turn off the red LEDs.

Notes: keep an eye on the following path and ensure there are no obstacles in the way.
After the watch gets 8 follow-me GPS satellites and shows an “ ”, press the follow me button once and start to move. Dragonfly will autonomously follow behind you when you are 5 meters away. The aircraft will head to you wherever you go with camera targeting on you at all times. When you stop, the aircraft will hover near your head.

Press the land button once and the aircraft will slowly land at its current spot. Choose a safe and flat area for landing. When dragonfly gets close to the ground, it will jump a few times to find flat base. The motors will stop rotating in 5 seconds after landing on the ground. In process of landing, you can still make it hover and change its position if the landing area is not ideal.
Press and hold the land button and dragonfly will autonomously ascend to 15 meters, slowly fly back to the take-off point and land. If there is obstacle in the way of return-home, you can make it hover and come back in other paths. Return-home only works when the aircraft is 5 meters away from the take-off point.
