About
The S1000 is designed for professional aerial photography and cinematography. It is user friendly, safe, stabilized
and easy to fly while its integrated design makes assembly and configuration simple and fast. Retractable landing
gear, vibration dampers, small frame arm incline and minimalized gimbal mount allows for a clear 360 degree view
from the camera. An integrated power hub with patented coaxial connectors, built-in high-speed ESCs and motors
with high efficiency propellers ensure dynamic stability and maximized power efficiency. Used with a professional
DJI multi-rotor autopilot system, the S1000 can hover and fly reliably making it ideal for photography and
cinematography.

Caution
When flying, fast rotating propellers may cause serious damage and injury. Please fly safe at all times.
Assembly Cautions
(1) Mount the GPS module with a bracket, to avoid interference with the power board on the center frame.
(2) Ensure the IMU is mounted with the arrow pointing toward the front.
(3) If using a receiver, attach it under the bottom board of the center frame with the end of the antenna
facing downwards away from obstructions to avoid loss of control due to signal loss.
(4) Ensure frame arms are mounted correctly.
a) Motor mounts with CCW marks should be mounted to the corresponding center frame positions
with the following marks: M1, M3, M5, and M7.
b) Motor mounts with CW marks should be mounted to the corresponding center frame positions with
the following marks: M2, M4, M6, and M8.
(5) Do not remove any glued-in screws.
(6) Tighten screws appropriately. Screws marked with blue glue can be used without thread locker once. On
other occasions, apply appropriate thread locker.
(7) S1000 should be raised above the ground when testing landing gear or recalibrating servo travel.
(8) Notice that matching the indicators is very important. Please pay attention to them.
Flight Cautions
(1) ESCs are not water-proof, do not fly in rain or snow.
(2) Ensure all parts are in good condition before each flight. Do not fly with worn or broken parts.
(3) Ensure propellers and motors are installed correctly and propellers are unfolded before flying.
(4) Ensure ESC signal connectors and power cable connectors are tight and reliable before every flight.
(5) When flying, stay away a safe distance from people, buildings, high-voltage lines, tall trees, water and
other hazards.
(6) Use only 6S LiPo batteries for the power supply.
(7) Ensure all output signals from M1 to M8 are in proper working order when using the DJI A2 flight control
system to avoid damage or injury.
(8) Do not overload the system.
(9) Do not get close to or touch motors or propellers when they are spinning as this can cause serious injury.
(10) Disconnect battery and remove camera during breaks and transportation to avoid damage or injury.
(11) We strongly recommend using as many DJI parts as possible.
Others
(1) If you have any problem you cannot resolve, contact your dealer or DJI customer service.

Mounting Frame Arms
Instructions
1. Check arms.
(1) Check propellers for cracks, then install and screw propeller cover on tightly.
(2) Ensure motors are mounted firmly and rotate freely.
(3) Mount arms with red propeller covers to M1 and M2 to indicate the nose of the S1000.
(4) Distinguish marks CW and CCW on the arms. Mount the arms with mark CCW to the M1, M3, M5, and M7
positions of the center frame. The arms marked CW should be mounted to the M2, M4, M6, and M8
positions of the center frame.

2. Insert frame arm vertically into the mounting area on the center frame.
3. Adjust screw mounts of frame arm and center frame.
4. Insert the M4x35 screw from the right of the frame arm as the thread is located on the left of the screw
mount. Tighten screw appropriately. Over tightening may lead to connector abrasion.

5. Gently lift frame arm.
6. Twist knob to lock in place. Be sure there is an audible click sound to ensure a proper lock. Check the
arm for movement. To store, untwist the knob and lower frame arm.
7. Plug ESC signal cable into center frame.
8. Plug power cable into center frame. Heat-shrinkable tubes can be used to stop the connector from
coming off.

9. Ensure all ESC signal cables (red) and power cables (blue) are connected to the center frame correctly.
Power cables can be fixed to center frame pillars to tidy them away. Make sure to use heat-shrinkable
tubes correctly (orange).
10. Double check all frame arms. Arms M1 and M2 are the forward facing (nose), arms M5 and M6 are the tail.
Seen from the top, motors on arms M1, M3, M5 and M7 rotate counter clockwise while those on arms M2,
M4, M6 and M8 rotate clockwise.
