@jstnxprsn5 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much man I got a lot of info from you that didn't come with the instructions. And the app explains nothing, so you saved me time figuring that stuff out. The only thing you didn't talk about was the GPS accuracy test. I can start it but it never seems to turn off. One other thing when it set up it didn't turn on the permission for access to my phone. When I turned that on manually it allowed me to use the different types of maps which it didn't before. Anyway I flew it a little bit today for the very first time I found it remarkably easy and controllable I had no idea it would go as fast and as high as you showed in your videos so thanks for that too. Peace out.

I unplugged the camera removed the camera and gently unscrewed the 4 small screws opened the camera housing and the camera lenses has a notch it must line up with. I placed the lens correctly reassembled the housing remounted it plugged it in powered the drone up and it was perfect. Try it on yours. It took me all of 5 minutes start to finish.

I have two questions, though. 1) Looking to get an extra battery or two. Looking at Amazon, thinking it would be nice to spend the $50 on two with a dual charger since it takes five hours or so to charge. Suggestions? 2) Sound... don't think it has sound (microphone). Anyone have experience with this, as in does the included camera have sound or is there an option for this and your thoughts?
