EXPORTER GUIDE
Draganfly Exporter
User Guide
Version 1.2
Operator Notice
The responsibility to operate in a safe manner, prevent injury to persons or damage to
property, and to take no unnecessary risks falls upon the owner and those whom the
owner authorizes to pilot and operate the Draganflyer helicopter.
Furthermore the onus is upon each owner/authorizer/pilot to comply with all regulations
pertinent to the use of the Draganflyer helicopter and associated components at the
location of operation with regards to the use of airspace as well as radio
communications.
Draganfly Innovations Inc. does not accept any responsibility for damages or financial
compensations which may arise as the result of an owner/authorizer/pilot failing to
comply with any regulations which would lead to a claim against the user.

Warning
The Draganflyer helicopter is a precision machine that is vulnerable to misuse and can
prove to be dangerous if not properly maintained or used in an inappropriate manor.
Helicopters by their nature are not positively stable. Although the Draganflyer can
maintain an attitude and a position relative to wind movement without constant control
input; operators should always be aware of its position and be able to take immediate
control of the helicopter to recover from an unwanted position and avoid any mishaps.
Please completely read and understand all Draganflyer helicopter instructional
information before attempting to fly the Draganflyer aircraft.
To provide optimum performance, a Lithium Polymer battery powers your Draganflyer
helicopter and controllers. The same properties that make these batteries extremely
powerful and lightweight also make them dangerous if handled incorrectly. Please read
and understand all information pertaining to the battery before attempting to use or
charge it.
IF MISUSED THIS AIRCRAFT IS CAPABLE OF CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY HARM
TO THE OPERATOR AND SPECTATORS AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE. ANY
DAMAGE OR INJURY OCCURRING DUE TO MISUSE OF THIS PRODUCT IS
SOLELY THE OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY.

Special notice:
Throughout this manual, look for and pay special attention to these information
boxes for tips, tricks, safety information, or serious warnings and risks,
associated with this product.
DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS OR ARMS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE ROTORS
OR ATTEMPT TO STOP SPINNING ROTORS WITH YOUR HANDS AS SERIOUS
INJURY COULD RESULT FROM CONTACT.
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS WHICH ARE KNOWN BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS AND/OR OTHER
REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
Many common materials such as metals, plastics, glues, lubricants and other coatings
contain chemicals in varying amount and concentrations which will cause harm if
introduced into the human body. For further information on toxic or dangerous
chemicals please refer to California’s Health and Safety Codes Sections 25249.5-13

Special notice:
We are always shocked, and you might also find it hard to believe, that
upon getting their new helicopter system many people want to take it apart
to see how it works.
Often to their dismay, all they learn is the helicopter and controller are as
beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside but more times than not,
they mix-up the motors or break something so our advice is please, just
enjoy the helicopter, the amazing DBS, and let your imagination soar with
this incredible aerial tool.
- Understand there is no need to lubricate the motors and often people
that don’t listen to us and do it anyway, end up damaging them.
- Please also understand that each motor is coded to a specific position on
the aircraft so don’t get the wild idea to move a motor from the back up to
the front. If you are experiencing a problem with the aircraft please just call
our support line at 1-800-979-9794 or drop us an e-mail to
support@draganfly.com.
Safety Precautions
As the pilot in command you are responsible for the safety of yourself and others
whether it be in the immediate takeoff and landing area, or the general flight path area.
Please take safety very seriously.
•Always wear protective eyewear.
•Do not use batteries other than those specifically designed for the Draganflyer
aircraft; doing so may cause erratic flight performance and void warranty.
•Do not fly the Draganflyer aircraft in excessive winds.
•Do not fly the aircraft system in rain.
•Do not fly near people on the ground or objects in the air.
•Do not fly near pets or other animals.
•Do not fly near high-tension lines, electrical substations, high structures or
communication facilities.
•Be careful where you place the controller and aircraft during flight
preparations, be sure that they will not be dropped or suffer a fall as this may
cause serious damage.
•Never fly this aircraft where damage to property or injury to persons may
result if loss of control occurs.
•Never leave the Draganflyer aircraft unattended with the battery connected.
Make it a habit to always disconnect the battery when not flying.
•When possible fly with a spotter or observer

Draganfly Exporter
When it comes to mapping or building an aerial 3D scale model it’s good to include the
GPS position of each photograph. At Draganfly we’re always looking for the best
cameras to provide high resolution photography but they don’t always include GPS
capability so we developed the Exporter Utility. With the Exporter utility, you can easily
merge photos taken with helicopter GPS flight log data and shutter clicks.
The resulting Exporter output file is formatted to work with Pix4D mapper and after
merging the data, Exporter will automatically launch Pix4D, load the project photo list,
and from there you determine the project type and start processing.

Contents
Chapter 1: Installation
Short, simple, and to the point ... this chapter will review
hardware requirements and step you through the installation
process.
Chapter 2: Your first project
This chapter will run you through a typical scenario from
flying, data preprocessing, to launching a Pix4D project.
Chapter 3: But I don’t use Pix4D
We understand there are other 3D modeling and mapping
software packages on the market and not everyone will be
using Pix4D. This chapter will discuss the location and
layout of the Exporter output .CSV file.

Exporter setup
Exporter is intended to be run on an Intel Windows system typically installed on the
same computer running Pix4D. Often people will have Pix4D installed on a tablet or PC
used in the field to “Rapid Check” the project and also installed on a larger more
powerful system back at the office or home.
Installation
The Exporter windows installer follows the standard windows installation process.
Simply launch the installer and follow the instructions. If you have a special directory or
location where you want the program installed, now is the time to do it.

Installation - continued
Exporter is now installed and ready for use. It’s a good idea to understand the directory
structure and where Exporter will put your projects as they are built and completed.
Below illustrates the file structure for a project called “my-project”.
