Profile
S800 EVO is a multi-rotor designed for aerial photograph which integrates reinforced mechanical structures,
stabilized dynamical system and high-efficiency power supply. Integrated designs make assembly and configuration
become especially easy and fast; retractable landing gear, foldable propellers and collapsible GPS Mount are
conveniently portable for optimal user experiences. Retractable landing gears and vibration dampers coordinate to
create omnidirectional aerial view and high quality photograph. Combined with professional DJI multi-rotor
autopilot system S800 EVO will achieve hovering, cruising and other steady flight elements, which can be applied
for aerial photography and other aero-modeling activities.

Product Usage Cautions
When flying, the fast rotating propellers may cause serious damage(s) and injuries. Therefore, please fly with a high
safety in mind at all time.
Assembly Cautions
(1) Mount the GPS Module with a bracket, to avoid interference with the power board of center frame.
(2) For IMU mounting, make sure the arrow direction marking on the IMU is pointing to the aircraft nose.
(3) The receiver is strongly recommended to be attached under the bottom board of center frame, and the
head of antenna is downward without any obstacle. Otherwise the aircraft may be out of control, since
the wireless signal may be lost.
(4) Mount the arms correctly.
a) Center frame Arm
b) Center frame Arm
(5) For removing screws in the bottom board, please proceed with cautious, avoiding damages. Do not
remove any other screws fixed with glue.
(6) Notice matching the indications is very important, please pay attention to them.
Flight Cautions
(1) With DJI WKM autopilot system, make sure the output signal of WKM F1~F2 and M1~M6 are all normal,
to avoid serious damages and injuries.
(2) Keep flying the multi-rotor a distance from people, building, high-voltage lines, tall trees, water, etc.
(3) Make sure to use 6S LiPo battery for power supply.
(4) Do not get close to or touch the working motors and propellers, which will cause serious injury.
(5) Do not over load the multi-rotor.
(6) Make sure the propellers and the motors are installed correctly and firmly before flying.
(7) Make sure all parts of product are in good condition before each flight. Do not fly with wore or broken
parts.
(8) Strongly recommend you to use DJI parts as much as possible.
Others
(1) If you have any problem you cannot solve, please contact your dealer or DJI customer service.

Notes:
(1) For IMU mounting, make sure the arrow direction marking on the IMU is pointing to the aircraft nose.
(2) Connect the 3-pin connectors (M1~M6) of servo cable from WKM M.C. to ESC signal socket (M1~M6) on
center frame markings accordingly.

Tips:
(1) The main battery power leads, gimbal and PMU leads are on the bottom surface of the top board.
(2) Markings and stand for the propeller rotation direction. means clock-wise, and means
counter clock-wise.
(3) If other lead connector is required, please cut the original connector and solder on the new one. (But NOT
Recommend.)

Attach Electric Equipment to Center Frame
1. (Fig.1)Remove the screws in the bottom board.
2. (Fig.2)Attach the IMU module into IMU position in the center frame. Ensure the IMU casing is out of
touching the top board edge, as vibration can cause IMU mal-function.
3. (Fig.2)Please attach DJI Autopilot System parts onto the bottom board (not including GPS modules.
4. (Fig.2)Connect the Autopilot System and receiver. Please refer to DJI WKM User Manual for details.
5. (Fig.3)Please fix all the screws to bottom board, and use adequate thread locker.
6. (Fig.4)Attach the GPS Fixed Seat to the top board (near to the M3), then mount the GPS Module to the
GPS Fixed Seat with a bracket.
7. Configure Autopilot System. Please refer to DJI WKM User Manual .
Note:
(1) Make sure to mount the IMU module at the IMU position first, and the mount orientation is correct.
(2) Mount the GPS with a bracket, to avoid interference from center frame power board.
(3) Make sure the USB port of the M.C. is pointing outwards for easy access.
(4) Please wire neatly. Make sure the wires will not be cut by the edge of frames.
(5) Install the screws with appropriate strength to prevent damage threads.
(6) Watch out clamping fingers when folding the GPS Bracket.
