PARTS AND FUNCTIONS OF THE TRANSMITTER
1. With a quick tap, the drone enters "absolute control" mode. If you press and hold
the button, the drone goes into "reverse" mode so if it is flying in front of us, it will
come back to us. To exit "reverse" mode and regain manual control of the drone,
simply reuse the movement lever.
2. Press for the drone to take off (between 0.30 m and 1.5 m).
3. It is used to move the drone up or down and to rotate it on itself.
4. Press for the drone to land automatically.
5. Turns the transmitter on and off.
6. Select among 3 different flight modes. By default, the drone is in the slowest mode.
If you press once, go to average speed and if you press twice, the drone will move
at maximum speed. To return to mode 1, press once more.
7. With a quick tap, the drone performs an acrobatic in the direction to which you
direct the drone with the right lever. ATTENTION: If you keep the button pressed
longer, the drone motors stop automatically. Do not use this in-flight stop option
except in case of emergency, as the drone will fall down without control.
8. It is used to move the drone forward or backward and sideways.
Buttons 9 to 12: Trimming buttons. If the drone's seasonal flight is not stable and tends
to move in a certain direction, press the reverse direction button once. If the flight does
not stabilize, press the same button again. (Example: If the drone tends to move to the
left, you will have to press the right trim button to stabilize its flight).

TAKING OFF
A B C Su E
Starting from the fully folded position (A), push down gently one of the rear arms so that its
arrangement moves in a 180º movement until the arm is fully unfolded and the propeller is
aligned with the respective propellers of the front arms (B). Then repeat the same operation
with the other rear arm (C). The movement of the front arms is much simpler: Just pull out
one of them until it unfolds 90º in a straight line (D). Repeat the same operation with the rear
arm (E) so that the drone is fully unfolded.
To store the drone in its case, remember to fold it again, following the same steps in reverse
order.
POSITIONING OF THE PROPELLER GUARDS (OPTIONAL)
The propeller protectors can be very useful for your first practices and for flying indoors. To
place them, fit each of them under each propeller, in the direction indicated. Use a small star
screwdriver (included) to secure them with one of the included small screws.

TRANSMITTER BATTERY INSTALLATION
3 x AA | 1,5V
Use the screwdriver to open the
cover. Insert 3 "AA" batteries in
position as shown in the picture and
replace the cover.
1. Place the batteries in the right direction.
2. Do not mix new batteries with old ones.
3. Do not mix different types of batteries.
DRONE BATTERY INSERTION AND CHARGING
To insert the battery, insert it through the back of the drone in the direction shown in the
illustration until you hear a "click" sound. To remove it, first gently push the battery down to
unhook it and then pull it out.
Never charge the battery without first removing it from the drone. Connect the end of the
charging cable (included) to the battery as shown in the picture. For charging, you can use
the USB socket on your PC's CPU or a standard smartphone network charger. The battery
charging time is between 80 and 100 minutes. You'll know the charging is complete because
the USB jack will light up.
When the drone lights start flashing, it means that the battery is about to run out. In this
case, land it as soon as possible and, once it is switched off, wait at least 15 minutes to
recharge the battery.

PRECAUTIONS DURING BATTERY CHARGE
1. During charge, place the drone and the charger in a dry area that is dry, ventilated, and
away from intense heat sources or flammable products.
2. During charge, make sure the drone is turned off. Never leave the battery unattended
during this process in order to avoid accidents.
3. Do not charge the battery right after ying. Wait until the battery has cooled down.
Otherwise, it may swell or even burn and explode.
4. Make sure you use the original charging cable supplied with the drone and follow the
recommendations provided below for maintaining the batteries
5. An extreme use of the batteries (i.e. keep flying until the last second even though the drone
is flashing) seriously shortens the battery life.
6. If the battery swells, stop using it, because it could burn.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1. Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or store it in a place where temperatures could
exceed 25°C
2. In order to extend the use of battery, be "relaxed" on the first 5 flights.
3. Whenever you want to store the drone for a long time, first charge the battery and, then,
store it with at least 50-60% of the total charge allowed.
4. If you are not going to use it for more than a month, it is highly recommended that you
measure the voltage of the battery every month to ensure that this does not fall below 3V.
Otherwise, repeat step 3.
Position
ADVICE:
When you synchronize your Follower Drone, make sure it
is on a flat and horizontal surface, so the flight is stable.
1. Turn on your Follower Drone.
Press the ON button at the top of the drone (see section "Drone parts") once and you will see
the lights turn on and flash.
3. Pull down the power lever, pull it up to the maximum, and then lower it
to the lowest position, as shown in the illustration.
The station will beep, which means that the station and the drone are
synchronized. The lights on the drone will stop flashing and remain steady.
2. Turn on the transmitter by pressing the ON button (see section "Transmitter parts and
functions"). The station will beep once.
START UP
4. To turn the engines on and off, push both levers
inwards and downwards as shown in the picture.
When the propellers start to rotate, you can release
both levers.

WARNING
1. When the transmitter’s LED stays on but the drone’s LED blinks slowly, it is an indication
that the synchronization has not been successful. Turn the transmitter and drone off and
perform the “start-up” again from the beginning.
If once in the air the drone does not remain stable, land it and turn off both the transmitter
and the drone. Then, resynchronise it, making sure the drone is placed on a flat and horizontal
surface while you do so. If the drone continues to fly uncontrollably, check the TRIMMING
section on page 8.
3. When the drone’s LED blinks slowly, it means that the battery is running low. Land and put
the drone’s battery to charge with the charger provided, once the battery has cooled down.
Once the engines are running, you have two different ways to take it off:
5.1. The first option is the manual system used by most drones: Push the
power lever up until the drone rises and release it when you have ascended
to the desired height.
The other way to take off is to use automatic take-off:
5.2 In this option, the automatic take-off button is pressed and the drone
lifts itself in a vertical line to a height of between 0.30 and 1.5 metres.
Then, it will remain in stationary flight with an altitude and position fixed
waiting for your orders.
MOVEMENT CONTROL
UP AND DOWN FORWARD AND BACKWARD
Lift the power lever (left) for the drone to
go up.
Lower the power lever (left) for the drone
to go down.
Lift the steering lever (right) for the drone
to go forward.
Lower the steering lever (right) for the
drone to go backward.

LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS LATERAL MOVEMENTS
Move the power lever (left) to the right or
left for the drone to rotate on its own axis
to the corresponding side.
Move the steering lever (right) to the
right or left for the drone to move to the
corresponding side.
This drone has an optical viewfinder that allows it to position itself and remain stable with
respect to the ground. Although it is rare, the drone may make unwanted movements
without a direct intervention, moving in any of the four directions, rotating on its axis, or even
ascending or descending without being given any order. Therefore, there is the Trimming,
which is an adjustment that can be done from the transmitter so that the drone recovers its
stability in the stationary flight.
When the Drone moves in one direction, we should press the trimming button in the opposite
direction (in section "parts and functions of the transmitter" you can check which is the
corresponding trimming button for each direction) as many times as necessary until you
correct that unwanted movement.
TRIMMING
While the drone is functioning in normal mode, without total control, the pilot will have to
recognise the front and back parts of the drone as well as the lateral parts in order to give
the right movement orders during the flight. In this flight mode, you need to know that the
controls will be inverted when the drone goes back to you. The Follower Drone integrates a
total control system which makes it easier to pilot.
Once the "absolute control" mode is activated, the orientation of the drone does not affect the
movements, because the drone moves in relation to the position where the pilot is located.
In order to activate the absolute control mode, press the corresponding button (in the section
"parts and functions of the emitter" you can check which is the button for that function). Press
again to deactivate the "absolute control" mode.
ABSOLUTE CONTROL
ACROBATICS
The Follower Drone can perform acrobatics almost automatically. You only have to press the
button (in the section "parts and functions of the transmitter" you can check which is the button
to make the drone pirouette) and push the right lever in the direction we want it to perform
the acrobatics, we will be giving the drone the order to perform such movements and in that
direction. Finally, the drone can lose altitude during the performance of acrobatics, so just
move the power lever up once the acrobatics are finished.
With the protections in place, the drone may find it difficult to perform them perfectly.

SMARTPHONE SUPPORT
If you want to see what the drone's camera is recording on your smartphone live, the station
has a bracket at the bottom that can be removed as shown in picture A. Then place your
smartphone into the hole as shown in picture B. The length of the support automatically
adjusts to the width of your smartphone, so that it will fit regardless of the dimensions of the
model.
A B
Using the (free) Follower Drone App*, you can record and take photos from the drone to
view and save them on your smartphone. In addition, it can be used without the transmitter,
because it allows to control all features directly from the screen on the drone.
You will find on the back cover the QR code to download the App on both iOS and Android.
You can also search directly in Google Play or in the Apple store for the App name: "HFUN."
This is the App logo:
Once installed, open the App and turn on the drone. If your
smartphone does not automatically connect to the drone's wi-
fi, do it manually. The name of the wi-fi of the Follower Drone
can change but, in order to identify it, it always starts with
"M8_720P..." and is followed by a combination of numbers
and random letters. You don't need a password.
The home screen on the App offers a choice to select between
Flight Mode and Master Mode. If you're just going to use your
smartphone to record, take photos or FPV, choose Master
Mode. If you are also going to use the App to control the
drone, select Flight Mode. Then select the "Calibrate" option
to return the drone to factory settings or "Start" to access the
control screen.

If you select "Extra Features," the following icons will be displayed:
1. Image filters: Edit the images you have recorded in the App directly using
predefined filters (greyscale, colour change, etc...).
3. Flight plan: Allows you to draw with your finger
directly on the surface of the screen the route you want
to follow, and once you are finished drawing it, the
drone will execute that same move.
12. Follow me: The drone will fly independently follow the movements of the object or person
determined by the pilot. Once the button is pressed, the application will show a disclaimer
indicating that, for the "Follow me" feature to work properly, the target to follow must be at
least 2 meters away (Fig. A). Once you accept by clicking "Submit," the drone will identify
possible targets and frame each one available in a red box (Fig. B). To confirm which object
to follow, select it on the screen until the box changes to blue (Fig. C).

5. Rotate image: Rotates the orientation of the display on the screen by 180 degrees.
6. Absolute Control.

SELFIE MODE
At any moment of the flight, if you make the Victory sign (see image) while you are in front
of the camera, the drone will interpret that you want to take a picture. At the end of that
countdown, the drone takes a picture and saves the image in the corresponding folder of
the App.
NOTE: If selfie mode does not work, it could mean you are too far away from the drone. For
optimum results, the minimum distance to the camera is between 1.5m and 2m.
DRONE FLYING TIPS
EXERCISE 1- KEEP THE DRONE FLYING IN A FIXED SPOT
Synchronize the transmitter with the drone and prepare to take it off. Start the engines
and power up with the left lever with a continuous touch. The drone should go up and
stay at a certain altitude thanks to its visual positioning. Use the left lever carefully to bring
the drone down to your eye line. This is very easy to do thanks to the automatisms of the
drone. Sometimes you will need to power up and, sometimes, to power down, but those
changes should be subtle, with slight touches on the lever. You will need to adjust the lateral
displacements so that the drone is always in front of you. If you notice that the drone has a
tendency to move alone in some direction, trim him. Although, up to 8 meters it will remain
almost fixed thanks to the visual positioning, above that altitude you will need to control the
position and lateral displacement yourself.
EXERCISE 2- ONE WAY MOVEMENT
Once you have mastered the static flight, begin to move the drone intentionally, and not
simply with the intention to fly static. Maintaining the altitude, push the right lever forwards
to move the drone forwards. After moving forward a few meters, push the right lever down to
reverse to the starting point. Normally, while you're making this moves, you need to correct
the lateral displacement so this exercise is very useful to learn how to avoid colliding into walls
or other obstacles. Focus on steering the drone, and, at the same time, maintain altitude.
In addition, pay attention to the power; power up or down when required so that the drone

13
DRONE FLYING TIPS
always moves at the height of your eyes. The most challenging part of this exercise is to
master the movement in such a way that we are able to make "eights" in the air using only
the right lever, with all the movements of that lever.
EXERCISE 3 - ROTATION
Rotation is the most complicated movement when it comes to flying drones. When you rotate
the drone, it is normal to be confused with the directions, that means that: a) if the drone is
facing forward, the controls of the radio station correspond to what we see (if we give to the
right, the drone moves to the right) and b) if the drone is facing us, the controls are reversed:
if you tell it to go to the right, it will go to its right (our left).
The first step is to keep the drone at a certain altitude, and using the same power lever,
maintain that power and turn the lever at the same height right or left. The drone will begin
to rotate on its axis, and depending on our expertise, it will ascend or descend. The challenge
is to get circles while remaining in the same spot.
Now, let's try exercise 2 but, in this case, make the turn with the drone facing towards you.
That means: Move forward normally, stop the drone, rotate it 180º, and bring it back to you.
The third step is about repeating the first step but slower and while rotating the drone with a
frontal displacement towards the right using the lever. It is advisable to carry out this exercise
in an open space, as the goal is to have the drone make wide circles. Start recording and
stand in the middle of the circle, in such a way that the drone is recording you at all times.
Remember to carry out this exercise in an obstacle-free open space.

The third step is a total control of the previous exercises. It is not easy and it is normal to take
several weeks of practice to achieve full control.
The exercise consists of a mixture of all the previous exercises. The goal is to make "eights" or
the symbol of infinity in the air but, unlike what happens in exercise 2, in this case the drone
will make this symbol always with its front side.
To achieve this, we have to keep the drone at a certain altitude. Start moving it diagonally
with the right lever and, at the same time, set the direction of the drone using the left lever.
Whenever you want to go back, start the rotation on its axis to the left. After completing more
than one hemisphere, stop rotating it on its axis and move it towards you. When it is close by,
begin to rotate it to the right and repeat this process until you get several "eights" in a row.
