Remote Control
The remote control utilizes an advanced frequency hopping wireless
communication system, making the aircraft and camera easy to operate
and congure from within a maximum communication distance of 7km. The
remote control support secures the mobile device and, by using the App,
users can watch high-denition, real-time images on their mobile devices.
The number 19 is camera zoom when mounting a 10x or 30x zoom camera
gimbal.
The maximum flight time is tested under experimental conditions to
the12000mAH battery and may vary depending on environmental and ight
conditions.
