1. Does the copter have a "Follow me" mode?
Not.
2. I can not fly, writes "compass interfered".
1. Change the take-off point.
2. Slowly turn the copter in any direction until the error disappears.
3. Avtozglyot does not work. I click on the button, nothing happens.
1. Authorship works when it is resolved programmatically (the button is lit in white).
2. For an auto-fly you need, just like to turn on / off the copter / console, press briefly once and press and hold the button again.
4. In flight, the error "compass interfered, fly with care" pops up, how dangerous is it?
Not critical. A great danger is a message that indicates the need for an emergency landing.
5. My height is reflected in feet, and my speed is in miles per hour. What to do?
Disable the "imperial units" item in the settings.
6. How to connect the phone to the remote?
1. Using the originaldrone cable, instruction when launching the application and turning on the modem mode on the phone.
2. Using Wi-Fi Dongle (via the same USB port used to connect the phone).There is no built-in Wi-Fi adapter in the console..
7. When flying, I lost and the image broadcast is not restored. What to do?
Try to switch to the map, and then again to the video. If there is no recovery, wait for the signal to appear.
8. Do I need to calibrate the copter each time before takeoff?
1. The manufacturer recommends calibrating before each flight.
2. Many calibrate once and no more return to this until the drone itself asks for it.
P.S. The calibration video is in the header, in the section - Useful
9. I do not have a tablet / phone in a regular mount. And I really want to fly through the tablet.
Buy onebracket on the remoteand fly to health.
10. When carrying the suspension, I'm afraid to unscrew the head of the camera. What to do?
Buy oneprotective cover. She fixes the camera.
P.S. It will not save from damage of contacts. Do not carry the camera where it can be damaged.
11. Plastic on the copter and remote is very easily soiled. What to do?
Do not fly above the ground, dust raised very quickly contaminates the copter. Take the copter with clean hands. For the remote you can buySilicone Case.
12. What are thesuitcasesCopter cases can advise?
Depending on the needs and size requirements. There are today the main models of the following type:
1. The cheapest option.Feet fold and detach is not necessary. But also sit on the case - too.
2. Impact resistant version of the previous version.Stiffer filler.
3. Universal option.Assumes carrying drone disassembled. You can also use it for other needs)
And numerous variants of bags for laptops, etc. Some even manage to adapt boxes for tools.
13. I do not have enough range / I want a more stable signal.
Buy onereflectors on the antenna.Possible small napiling.
14. I want to charge the battery from the car (12 V).
Buy oneboost voltage converter.Adjust 17V and 2.5A current. Requiresthe presence of straight arms and curvessmall skills in electronics.
15. Kopter starts to behave in the sky and really wants to return to their homeland.
Switch mode to ATTI and intercept control. In order not to lose precious time, set the GPS / ATTI mode switch to the right wheel.
16. Is it possible to take pictures (photos) without disabling the recording mode?
It is possible if the FullHD (1080p) shooting mode is configured. But in this case, the photos - no more than screenshots from the video. For a photo, you need to stop the recording mode.
17. The video is written in small passages (several seconds).
The memory card does not meet the requirements of the class (low write speed, need at least 10th class, better - U3).
18. How to put the copter? : blush:
Options 2:
1. Automatic. Like take off - short press and long press.
2. Manual. Smooth lowering of a kopter and stik of height against the stop down. After a couple of seconds, the engines will stop.Reduce the sticks is not necessary.
In both cases, landing is recommended (as well as taking off) on a flat (so as not to turn the copter) and a hard surface (so as not to raise dust).
19. Can the battery "self-discharge" (switch to storage mode)?
Yes maybe. Therefore, charge the battery immediately before flying, and not for 2 days.
20. I have a "glitch" battery - shows a drawdown on the bank.
Disassemble the battery, unplug the balancing cable. You can check the voltage on each of the bank. If it does not match the screen - connect back and charge.
21. In which format is it better to shoot?
Better in that for which your drone is intended (version 1080-1080, version 4K-4K), except when you need to increase the FPS, say for shooting fast moving cars, then select the mode with the maximum quality and the required number of FPS for example 4K version it can be 2K shooting with 60FPS.
22. Is it possible to put the drone in hand or take off from your hand?
Takeoff
Keep the leg from the front, of course, try to keep exactly (although I have no problems such as skewed horizon did not arise, may luck. Although I do not believe his luck :)). To reduce the sticks down diagonally (reception "nipple in a vice" :)), and when the engines wound up, gently lift down when thrust appears release the drone. But avtovzlotom, but as I do not use avtoposadkoy. Take off when convenient Appa hanging on a cord, or to keep and reduce the sticks will not be convenient, perhaps in this case it will be convenient avtovzlot, here as you prefer.
Landing
Decline to a height that allows you to reach the foot of the drone, is not recommended below, so that in case of a random lateral displacement of the drone, you do not fall under the propellers. unwrap the camera to yourself (so that the hand would not fall under the sensors). gently, without moving the drone in space, take the leg and press the left stick down until the motors are turned off. then lower it preferably in the horizontal plane and turn it off (otherwise the suspension will work out all the distortions - do you need it?).Author - Alex_SAV.
23. How to eliminate the dam horizon?
In the application menu there are 2 items for this:
but)Gimbal calibration
You need to install the drone on a completely flat surface, enter the menu and press the Start button after calibration, it will change to OK. After calibration, try to take off and if there is a blockage of the horizon, follow the next step.
b)Gimbal Adjustment
You need to install the drone on an absolutely flat surface, enter the menu and press the Auto button, the suspension will make loud and alarming sounds in the process of setting up, you will have to measure it, this is for everyone. After tuning, make a test flight, and if the horizon collapses, try manual tuning, to the left and to the right of the Auto button there is a “-” and “+” they adjust the speed of the suspension and may help you.
c) If the two previous methods did not help you: Place the drone on a flat surface and place something in horizontal straight lines in front of the camera (you can orient the drone to the tile), placing objects under the necessary leg of the drone (depending on the dam side) to understand the drone to the desired degree, start the suspension calibration as described in a) after which your drone is ready to fly.
It is very important in the calibration process not to touch the drone, otherwise everything will have to be included from the beginning. It is not unimportant to check the surface and evenness of the installation of the drone on it, level, or at least download the corresponding application on the phone.

24. What are the VPU and ATTI modes for?
All information here
25. I have experience managing cheap drones. Is this experience comparable for Mi Drone?
The answer is here
26. What should a pilot know and take into account?

• Before the flight, charge the batteries for they are self-discharged.
  
• View the weather and especially the wind (do not bother to specialized sites)
  
• Walk around the place of flight with a survey of air obstacles, trees, towers, wires, buildings, etc. The bottom line is that the terrain was in your head and you understand where you are flying.
  
• Choose a good place to start, open, smooth, without iron, clean.
  
• Expand All and collect drone. Carry out pre-flight checks. After connecting the props with the engines shut down to check whether the locks, the presence of the backlash, not much to scroll through every prop and listen whether abnormal noise and whether it is sufficiently easy to rotate. Check the connection to the place of the suspension there was no debris, foreign objects, connect the camera and make sure the lock is closed. When you turn on the console and make sure the drone on indicators that the charge is sufficient for the flight, after the connection to the application to check the status of the battery and the adequacy of the evidence and take-off direction of the drone (side light).
  
• Before the flight, set the necessary flight settings to the required return altitude, speed and video shooting parameters.
  
• In flight, constantly monitor the telemetry - battery charge, satellites, drone speed in different directions of flight (this helps determine the wind that is in the sky).
  
• Watch the environment, may come high-altitude technology, appear people, animals, birds, change the weather, etc.
  
• After the flight, check the drone for damage to the props, camera, air ducts, housing. Garbage to eliminate immediately. At home, you can already wipe it and inspect everything in more detail.
  
• Do not overcharge with charging the battery after the flight and always charge it 100%.

27. Can I connect the camera to a computer or other devices via the USB port?
a) This is a debug port and it is not intended to connect to third-party devices for the sake of access to video recordings. (Officially)
b) Many complain that after such connections the camera stops seeing the drone or computer. (Not officially)
c) If you still want to use this feature at your own risk, use the Safe Disconnect feature before disconnecting from the PC (Recommendation)
28. What volume of flash cards should I choose?
In 4K, the quality of the clips is taken in 5 minutes and one such file weighs 2.1-2.4GB, the average flight time from 1 battery is ~ 20 min. Total -at least you need a 16GB card
29. How does the video quality change (the video that is transferred to your smartphone / tablet during the flight) when the shooting resolution changes?
When shooting 1080p (fps without a difference) there will be a 1280x720 link, when shooting in 4K and 2.7K there will be 768x432. Author -mixirEditing - Zlisten.
30. Which antennas on the drone and remote are responsible for what?
a) The left antenna on the drone works only on transmission, the right - on reception.
b) Both the left and right console antennas work for both reception and transmission. Author -Saperkalor. Post withexplanation.
31. How to check whether the drone was "drowned"?
Information along with photoshere.
32. When charging the battery, all 4 or alternately the first 2 and the last 2 diodes flash, what does this mean?
a) If all 4 diodes blink - most likely your battery has not cooled down after the flight, leave it alone and charge it later (not in the sun in summer)
b) 2 first and 2 last diodes flash alternately - most likely you discharged the battery to 0% during the flight and it is now blocked from you, you can buy a new one.
33. I can not connect the drone through the cable, through the WiFi dongl everything is fine.
Before running the application, turn on the USB modem in the settings.
34. If at the height of the descent of the drone to keep the left stick in the lower position, the engines will not turn off?
Do not turn off, turn off only if the drone is on the ground.
[b] 35. If you go below the take-off point, what will happen?
a) The height of the drone will be displayed in the minus value.
b) There will be no failures in the work, even if you turn on the RTH mode (return home).
