Drone
Flight Mode
GPS Mode
To achieve precise hovering, the drone is equipped with a GPS module.
The intelligent flight function works in GPS mode. Users can enable Sport
Mode or Beginner Mode in the flight settings. When the Beginner Mode is
on, the flight speed, flight distance, flight altitude and RTH altitude will be
limited. In sport mode, the maximum flight speed is 18m/s(65 km/h), the
maximum ascending speed is 5m/s(18 km/h), and the maximum descending
speed is 4m/s(14 km/h).
VPU Mode
An Optical Flow module is also built into the drone for precise hovering and
landing at the home point. In VPU mode, the Intelligent flight function is
not supported. The maximum flight speed is 10m/s(36 km/h), the maximum
ascend speed is 3m/s(11 km/h), and the maximum descending speed is
2m/s (7 km/h). When the drone is flying above a well-lit ground with a clear
texture and the GPS signal is poor, it will switch automatically to VPU mode.
ATTI Mode
When the GPS signal is poor or the compass has interference, the drone
enters in ATTI mode. In this mode, the drone can start drifting horizontally
and intelligent flight mode is not supported. Therefore, in case of any accidents,
we recommend flying in an open area with good GPS signal reception. Once
the drone enters in ATTI mode, please land in a safe place as soon as possible.

Safety Protection
Failsafe Return
Failsafe return is only supported in GPS mode. When the drone and remote
controller signal is interrupted for more than 2 seconds, the flight control
system built into the drone will take over the control of your drone, plan the
return path according to the original flight path, then the drone will fly back
and land at the home point. This function works precisely if there are enough
GPS satellites are locked, the compass has no interference and the home point
has been recorded correctly. If the wireless signal reconnects during the failsafe
return, the pilot can turn off App return hint or toggle Auto Return switch to the
left again to cancel, and the drone will hover at the current position.
