The Spry+ utilizes a brand new flight control system which incorporates 6 of the best flight modes.
GPS mode: This mode uses the GPS module to achieve accurate and stabilized hovering, braking, intelligent
flight, intelligent return and other intelligent flight mode functions. In this mode, maximum flight speed is
10m/s, maximum ascent speed is 3m/s, and maximum descent speed is 3m/s.
Circle mode: The drone moves 10m from its current location and begins to circle with a radius of 10m with
the nose always facing the origin. During circling, the right-hand joystick controls the speed and size of the
orbit. Push up to increase the radius of the orbit, push down to reduce the radius of the circle (minimum
radius 10m), push the joystick left to speed up the orbit or push it right to slow down the orbit. If you
continue to reduce the orbit speed, the drone will change the direction of orbit and start to increase the
orbit speed again.

ATTI mode: This is a more advanced flight mode which does not use the GPS positioning function but still
maintains altitude stabilization. The drone will drift with any wind when hovering and will not brake when
the joysticks are released.
Follow Me: The remote controller has an inbuilt GPS module, and the Follow Me mode is based on the
relative position of this GPS module to the drone. The maximum Follow Me speed is 10 m/s (36 KM/H).
Auto-Return: The aircraft has a one-key return function as well as an auto-return if radio contact with the
remote controller is lost. When the remote control and GPS signal are good, the aircraft can be commanded
to automatically return to the current remote control position.
Circle & Follow Mode: Specifically designed for shooting moving objects, this mode is ideal for taking
pictures of moving boats. There are 2 ways to activate this mode: 1. enter the Circle mode, then push the
Follow Me button; 2. enter the Follow Me mode, then flick the mode stick. Working mode: When the aircraft
switch from Circle mode to Circle & Follow me mode, the aircraft will slowly circle the remote control with a
radius of 10 meters; when the aircraft switches from the Follow me mode to Circle & Follow me mode, the
drone will fly to a radius of 10 meters and start to circle. It is recommended the Follow Me speed is under 2
m / s, beyond this speed, it is possible to lose the aircraft.
In the GPS mode, the drone will not arm unless there are sufficient satellites to establish the home
point. This point is used if the drone cannot establish the location of the remote controller.
In ATTI mode, the drone’s top speed is faster than in GPS mode. When flying in a calm environment, the
pilot should allow a minimum of 30 meters of braking distance to ensure flight safety.
Flying in Atti mode requires more skill and caution. If you lose control of the drone in ATTI mode,
switching to GPS mode can help stabilize flight as long as there is sufficient GPS coverage.
In Follow Me mode, the joysticks are disabled. Press and hold the Follow Me button again to cancel
Follow Me - the Controller Status Light will flash red confirming Follow Me mode has been cancelled
and joystick function has been restored.
If the GPS module in the remote controller does not have an accurate fix, the controller status light will
flash red, Follow Me cannot be started.

SPRY+ has two Return Home modes: Manual Return and Out-of-Range Return.
Manual Return: When you activate return function of the Spry+, it will return to the remote controller. When
returning to the remote control 30 meters away, the aircraft will record the coordinates of the remote control
as the final return point. At this point, users can leave this location and let the aircraft land. (During the return
flight, if you operate the joystick, the aircraft will stop returning. If you stop operating the joystick, the aircraft
continues to return)
Out-of-Range Return: If the drone loses contact with the remote control for any reason, the aircraft will
execute an automatic return to the last-known position of the remote control. During the return flight, if the
aircraft is reconnected to the remote control signal, the automatic return will be cancelled and the Spry+ will
await instructions from the remote controller.
Return Home
Operation
DescriptionIllustration
Press and hold the Return Home switch for 2 seconds, the system will
beep and start the return process. At this point, the aircraft will
auto-return to the remote controller . “RTH” is displayed in the upper
right corner of the remote control screen.
To cancel the Return Home process, press and hold the Return Home
switch for 2 seconds, the system will beep and cancel the return process
after both joysticks have been moved.
Regardless of the vertical height, if the horizontal distance is <20 meters,
the drone will maintain its height and return.
Vertical height < 30metres and horizontal distance > 20metres, the
drone will ascend up to 30metres, and then return.

Remote Controller
Low Battery Alarm
During flight when the voltage warning appears on the remote controller screen, prepare to return
and land the drone as soon as possible.
Power OFF the drone when not in use to prevent over-discharging and permanently damaging the
battery. Battery damage is not covered by warranty.
When the drone battery voltage drops to a low level (10.9V), the Drone Nose Lights will fast-flash red. The
pilot will simultaneously receive warnings on the remote controller. The screen will display “Aircraft Low
Battery” and the controller will beep and vibrate. Find a suitable place to land as soon as possible. If the
aircraft voltage drops to 10.7V, the aircraft will slowly and automatically land in place.
During auto-landing, the pilot can use the remote controller to alter the landing site, but this should be done
within one minute or the battery will be over-discharged and the drone may crash.
1. In low temperature environments (-0C degrees to 5C degrees) , flight time will be reduced.
Ensure batteries are fully charged and kept warm (20~30C) before use.
2. Also be aware that the low battery warnings will provide less warning time, so land the drone
as soon as the first battery warning appears.
3. After landing on cold water, the drone may need up to 15 seconds to stabilize its gyroscope
before being able to re-arm. Consider this before landing on water particularly if there are
waves.
Low temperature precautions
4. Twist the battery cover lock to lock the cover in place.

If this is your first time flying a drone, please read this manual thoroughly and watch the instructional videos
on our YouTube channel. We recommend taking professional training and guidance. When flying, select an
environment appropriate to your skills. It is advisable for all drone pilots to become familiar with ying in
ATTI mode in case of GPS or magnetic interference, which can aect drone controls.
1. Although the Spry+ is waterproof, do not fly in heavy fog or if the wind is very strong or gusting above
Beufort Force 4.
2. Don't fly near metal frame walls or structures as this can affect the GPS and compass signals. It is
recommended to fly at least 10 meters away. Since the remote controller also has a GPS module inside,
please ensure the pilot remains 10 meters away from metal frame walls.
3. Flying in a complex electromagnetic environment, (e.g. boat) radio equipment may interfere with the
drone’s 2.4G signals which may cause the aircraft to react slowly or become uncontrolled. In these
situations, you can turn off the remote control for the aircraft to return automatically, or restart the
remote control, which can assist re-establishing control.
4.. When your drone is new, calibrate and fly several times over land to adapt the aircraft to the local
environment before flying over water.
5. When flying at altitudes above sea level, environmental factors including air density reduce the
performance of aircraft and therefore also the drone batteries.
6. When the temperature is below 10°C, the drone may not unlock. Power on the drone for a few minutes
to warm up and then the motors can be unlocked.

9. Make sure the waterproof membrane is in good condition. The membrane prevents water from entering

to work abnormally and the drone might not hover or fly well.
