Halo Drone Pro users, you can only bind to either the Remote Controller OR the Sports Watch Remote at any given me. You
cannot be connected to both at the same me.
If Status LED on RC connues to blink red, pairing failed. Power down the RC and Drone and repeat
the Binding Procedure.
Flip the Halo Ceewa right-side-up again to disable ’Binding Mode’.
ACTIVATE BINDING MODE ON HALO CEEWA
1. Insert your High Performance Flight Baery into the Halo drone.

Binding Procedure :
To pair the Follow Module to the Remote Controller or to the Sports Watch, the Halo Ceewa and all accessories
must first be powered off.
ACTIVATE BINDING MODE ON FOLLOW MODULE:
1. Make sure Drone and all other accessories are powered off.
2. Power on the Follow Module by pushing the power buon twice and holding (pg. 7).
3. Once the Module is powered on, push the power buon 6 mes to iniate ‘Binding Mode’. Blue Status LED
light on Module will blink in intervals of 3.
4. Once paired, the Blue Status LED on the Follow Module will be solid.

Paired with the Follow Module, the Halo Ceewa Drone Pro has 7 Follow Mode opons to work with.
The Drone will lock its current posion and altude from the Follow Module and auto target the module as it
moves around.
The Drone will hover at its current posion and its nose and camera will follow and aim towards the Follow
Module.

Altude, Distance, and Angle.
Follow-Shadow
You can set the relave Altude, Distance, and Angle (based on Follow Module’s compass) of the Drone to the

The 7 Follow Mode Opons (connued)
You can set the relave Altude, Distance, and the Velocity of the drone to orbit the Follow Module. Posive
velocity values cause the Drone to orbit in a clockwise manner and negave values will make it orbit in a
counter-clockwise manner.
Orbit
You can set the Distance change, Altude change, and Velocity of the Drone from its current posion. The Drone
will fly out to the set distance and altude, then return to it’s original locaon all while the camera faces the
Follow Module. This is great for panning shots, or zoom in/out shots.
Selfie
Only available on the Halo Drone App. You can set a pre-marked path on the map for the Drone to fly. You can
set Altude and Velocity for each point. The Drone will fly along the path and aim the camera towards the Follow
Module. Once path end has been reached, the Drone will hover and wait for the next command.
Follow-Line
This feature is not a Follow Mode and does not take into account the locaon of Follow Module. When Freeze
mode is acvated, the Drone will hover at its current locaon and point the camera (gimbal) straight down to
give an eagle-eye shot from above.
