INTRODUCTION
Mantis Q – the foldable and convenient travel drone for small and big adventures alike. It listens to you thanks to
voice control, and the visual tracking will let it follow you wherever you go. Whether you’re backpacking in
Thailand, on a road trip through the South or with your family at the beach, Mantis Q’s energy-efficient design
keeps in the air for up to 33 minutes.The Mantis takes pictures with a resolution of 13MP and saves them on the
included MicroSD card; the same goes for the 4K recorded videos.The integrated camera can be tilted up to 20°
upwards and 90° downwards during flight. For cinematic camera flights, we also equipped the Mantis with auto-
matic advanced functions such as Journey or POI.

If the GPS signal is sufficiently strong, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point.
Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping [ ] icon in the App or by pressing and holding the RTH button on
the remote controller.
Low Battery RTH
Tap the Setting icon [ ] on the top right corner of the screen, and then touch the aircraft icon [ ]. Under
the “Return to Home (RTH) Settings” option, you can slide the “Low Battery RTH” switch from left to right to
activate the Low Battery RTH function.
The RTH function will be triggered when the flight battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return
of the aircraft.
Failsafe RTH
1. When you are operating the aircraft under GPS mode in the outdoor environment, Failsafe RTH will be
automatically activated if the remote control signal is lost for a specified amount of time (3 seconds when
using the remote controller and 20 seconds when flying with a smart device). If the signal is re-established after
the Failsafe RTH is activated, the aircraft will still perform the Failsafe RTH.
NOTICE: When the RTH mode is activated, the flight path is as follows:
1. If the aircraft is less than 26ft ( 8m ) from the Home Point, it will climb to an altitude vertically first (the altitude
is determined by the distance between the aircraft and the Home Point), then fly back at the current height and
descend vertically until it lands automatically.
2. If the aircraft is further than 26ft ( 8m ) from the Home Point, and the flight height of the aircraft is lower than
the desired altitude, it will climb to the desired altitude vertically first, then fly back at the current height and
descend vertically until it lands automatically.
3. If the aircraft is further than 26ft ( 8m ) from the Home Point, and the flight height of the aircraft is higher than
the desired altitude, it will fly back at the current height, and then descend vertically until it lands automatically.
Smart RTH and Low Battery RTH can be interrupted in the following four circumstances:
1.Tap [ ] icon in the App to interrupt the RTH.
2. Short press the RTH button on the remote controller.
3. Slide the Mode Switch on the remote controller to interrupt the RTH.
4. Short press the right joystick on the remote controller.
