Please continue reading the User’s Manual for X30 Optical Zoom Pod after
checking the inventory of all articles.
1.3 Matters Needing Attention
1. Insure that there is no shelter within the range of activity of the pod, or
serious effect like failure in proper functioning and even over burning,
etc.oftherodmaybecaused.
2. X30 optical zoom pod (hereinafter X30 pod) is a precision equipment.
Please do not change the unofficial UV lens or add other articles like lens
hood and counter weight, etc., or serious effect like bad working effect of
pod and even over burning, etc. of the rod may be caused.
3. Please keep the lens clean, and can scrub it with the dust-free glasses
cloth. If the lens is too dirty, it may cause effects like slowdown in
focusing speed and even failure in focusing, etc.
4. Tension the SD card case after installing the Micro SD card, or it may
cause bad work efficiency of the pod.
5. Please do not pull out the Micro SD card during the shooting or

2017 Topxgun robotics, All Right Reserved
recording process, or the images obtained during the shooting process
may be lost.
6. Please do not privately disassemble and maintain it, or you may not
enjoy the warranty policy.
7. X30 pod can be normally used with the data chain, please do not install it
on unofficially-appointed products, or serious effect like failure in proper
functioning and even over burning, etc. of the rod may be caused.
2 Product Brief Introduction
2.1 Brief Introduction
TopXGun X30 optical zoom pod adopts the 30-time optical zoom lens, 1/1.8CMOS
sensor, the effective pixels is 5 million, it is equipped with high-precision triaxial
could deck and can be broadly applied in fields including routing inspection,
reconnaissance and monitoring, etc.

3 Installation
3.1 Installation Preparation
1. Device type that is supported to be installed
The X30 optical zoom pod can be normally used with the Rainbow R1 data chain.
A higher pointing accuracy can be obtained if used with the flight controller ( flight
controllers of TOPXGUN are all temporarily supported), and can restrain the course
drifting. Meanwhile the information like GPS of flight controller, etc. can be written
in the photos or video information.
If not connecting the flight controller, the read-in function of information like GPS,
etc. may be lost, but it can still be normally used.
2. Types of supported Micro SD cards
Capacity of cloud deck camera in standard configuration is a 16GB Micro SD card,
and it can support 64GB to the maximum. Please use Micro SD cards with the
specification of Class 10 or UHS-1 or above, so that the videos can be guaranteed
to be normally recorded.
3.2 Pod Installation
1. Align the sliding rail of X30 pod with the Rainbow R1 data chain quick-release
rail, then push it in.
2. Thelockingmechanismisdeadlockedwhenhearingaclatter,andthe
installation is completed (locking standard: as the following figure, thetriangle
arrow should completely come out).
3. Install the Micro SD card to the camera. It is recommended to use the Micro SD
card with standard configuration.

4 Ground Station
4.1 Brief Introduction
X30 pod can be used together with the Rainbow R1 data chain, display of images
can be done at the computer terminal of ground PC, and all controllers like lens
zoom, shooting, recording and cloud deck movement, etc. can be realized. (the
mobile client-side like pad or mobile phone, etc. is being developed)
For the in-depth customization and integration demands of major accounts,the
needed SDK interface protocol can be opened.
4.2 Installation of Version 1.0
1. Installation of video player plug-in.
After decompressing the files, the File 1.0 of TopXGun X30 pod software willcontain
vc-redist, X64.exe video player plug-in and a file named X30-Video.
2. Open the software
Version 1.0 is an installation-free software. Open the X30-Video file and find the
X30 Video.exe application program. Double click and open it. To be convenient in
operation, the users can establish desktop shortcut.
4.3 Interface

Figure 4-1 Operation interface
4.4 Operation Pod
The PC pod software of Version 1.0 realizes all operations of the pod through
mouse and virtual key.
1) Adjust of course and pitching
Press the left mouse button and move up, down, left and right in the
interface. The lens should move with the locations of the mouse. Release
the left mouse button, and the lens stops moving and keeps at the
present location.
2) Pointing zoom
Double click the left mouse button, double click the image of location
and move it to the center of the screen, double amplify it and accumulate
on this until it is to maximum focal length.
The amplification and narrowing of focal length of the lens can also be
controlled through sliding the mouse wheels.
Click the right mouse button, and the image will go back to the 1-time
focal length automatically. This operation can also be realized through
the virtual key “zoom=1”.
3) Focusing
Default of the camera is the automatic focusing mode, when the
background of the picture is complex, manual focusing can be conducted
through using the virtual key “focusing+” and “focusing –“.
If the picture is dim for a long time, can click the “focusing A” virtual
key to conduct initiative focusing.
4) Calibration
If the users do not use the flight controller of TOPXGUN series, fail to
connect the data transmission or CAN tieline, when working in the
environment with relatively large temperature differences before and
after flying (e.g.: the air vehicle plies from rooms and vehicles to the
outside in winter), it is suggested conducting calibration before flying to
reduce the drift distance of the course.
Themagneticcompassintheflightcontroller will restrain the course
drift. No calibration is needed after joining in the flight controller.

5) Calibration steps
After the pod initialization is completed and entering the normal
operation condition, click the calibration virtual key and the pod will
enter the calibration condition (the manifestation is that the electrical
machinery of cloud deck will not function). The insure that the air vehicle
and cloud deck is at state of rest (there is no need for the cloud deck to
keep horizontal), after 5-10 seconds, the pod will reinitialize and
complete the calibration.
