Precautions
Safe Flying Tips
1. Fly in an open wide area without large obstacles like buidings, trees or electric wires in 30
meters as they may distort the GPS signals or crash the aircraft. Do not fly close to metal
structure with strong magnetic field.
2. Place the aircraft on flat ground before take-off. After powered on, dragonfly will start a
self-checking of fly control system and gimbal by itself. Do not touch or move it during the
self-checking as it may result in failure in self-checking and incorrectness of level calibration.
3. Dragonfly cannot take off until it gets enough GPS satellites and the Remote / Watch
screen shows a “ ”. Do not start follow me flight mode until the watch gets 8 GPS
follow-me satellites and shows a “ ”. If the aircraft cannot find satellites normally,
change to another place and try again.
4. Do not fly in strong winds, rains, lightning, snow or fog. Bad weather may weaken the
GPS signals or even damage the aircraft.Do not fly in water area as dragonfly is not
waterproof.
5. Keep the aircraft 5 meters away from people or animals when it takes off. Do not fly
over the crowds.
6. It is recommended to keep the flight height and range within 100 m even the RC distance
is 1 km. Do not fly across large obstacles. Always keep dragonfly within the visual line of
sight.
7. If dragonfly suddenly deviates or keeps ascending over 6 meters due to surrounding
interference, immediately press the “hover” button and “land” button to force
dragonfly to land.
8. Ensure all components are in well condition and fully charged before every fly.

The default control mode is beginner mode (NOR
MODE) which requires 6 GPS satellites to launch
dragonfly. In professional mode (ADV MODE), dragonfly
can take off without GPS signals limit and fly at a higher
speed and longer range. To switch the control modes,
hold H and turn on the remote at the same time.
However, it is not recommended to choose professional
mode for beginners.
The left stick is set to control the power of motors by default. The power control can be
switched to the right stick by holding and turning on the remote. To switch back to the

Position Control
1. Activate the motors by pushing the left stick to the lower right
corner and hold it for 3 seconds.
2. 2. While the motors are spinning, pull the stick up slowly to take
off dragonfly. Tapping will also make dragonfly ascend to 5
meters high and hover in place autonomously.
Prepare the aircraft
1. Place dragonfly on a flat platform and turn on the battery by
pressing & hold the power button on the tail. Dragonfly will
immediately start system self-checking when the front red LEDs
light once and rear blue LEDs quickly flash.

1.Pulling down the left stick will make dragonfly land. Do not push
down too hard or the aircraft may crash on the ground. After
landing, push the left stick to the lowest point and hold it for 5
seconds to shut down the motors.
2.Pressing once will make dragonfly autonomously land at its
current spot. When dragonfly gets close to the ground, it will jump
a few times to find flat base. The motors will stop rotating in 5
seconds after landing on the ground.
In process of landing, it is still available to control position if the
landing area is not flat or safe.
Land
Pressing and hold will make dragonfly autonomously ascend to
15 meters, slowly fly back to the take-off point and land. If there is
obstacle in the way of return-home, it is still available to get control
of dragonfly with the controller.

One Key to Take off Orbit Fly ( Point of Interest )
Rotating (Pan Shot)
Pressing and hold will keep dragonfly moving in a 5m
radius orbit around a center at is front. The aircraft’s head will
point to the center at all times.
During orbit fly, pulling the joystick left or right can make the
orbit larger or smaller.
Pressing can stop the orbit fly mode.
Pressing once will keep dragonfly rotating clockwise in place
autonomously.
Press will stop the rotating. Rotating mode is not only used
for pan-shot but also to turn the orientation of the aircraft.
Notes: The motors will stop rotating and stay locked if the aircraft doesn’t take off within 6
seconds after activated.
Basic Fly Control
Before take-off, press and hold to check if the four motors are
rotating properly.
When the motors are still rotating, pressing will make dragonfly
ascend to 5 meters high and hover in place autonomously.
1. Pushing the joystick up will make dragonfly fly
forward. Pushing the joystick down will make dragonfly
fly backward.
2. Pushing the stick to the left will make dragonfly fly
leftward. Pushing the stick to the right will make
dragonfly fly rightward.
3. Pressing once will keep dragonfly ascending
autonomously until 30 meters high.
4. Pressing once will keep dragonfly descending
autonomously until 5 meters high.
5. Pressing the joystick can turn off the red LEDs.
When the stick is released, dragonfly will autonomously hover in place.
Pressing can make dragonfly hover at the desired height during
ascend and descend.
