The SJ A/C ARODI F7 Folding Drone is an ultracompact and foldable quadcopter designed for users aged 14 and above, requiring adult supervision for those under 14. It integrates advanced machinery, electronics, and high-frequency transmission for precise operation.
Function Description:
The F7 Folding Drone is a GPS-enabled aircraft capable of various flight modes and intelligent functions. It features a 3-axis mechanical gimbal for stable camera operation, allowing for high-quality photo and video capture. The drone supports GPS Follow Me, Way Point Flight, and Point of Interest modes, enhancing its autonomous capabilities. Gesture control and image recognition follow-me functions provide intuitive interaction. For safety, it includes an emergency stop and Return-to-Home (RTH) function, which can be triggered by low battery, loss of signal, or manually. The drone is controlled via a dedicated transmitter and a mobile app, "SJ GPS PRO," which offers a live view, flight parameter settings, and media management.

Usage Features:
- Pre-flight Safety: Emphasizes flying in open areas, away from obstacles, crowds, high-voltage lines, and strong electromagnetic sources. Prohibits flying in adverse weather (rain, snow, fog, wind speeds exceeding 7 m/s or 16 mph). Strict no-fly zones include airports (within 10-20km of runways), airline routes, stadiums, and sports events.
- Transmitter Functions: Includes throttle and direction sticks, speed switch, emergency stop, power on/off, and RTH mode buttons. An LCD screen displays GPS signal intensity, remote control signal intensity, speed, status, distance, height, D-speed, and V-speed.
- Battery Management: Intelligent flight battery with a switch and power indicators. Type-C charging port. Remote control has a built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery.
- Propeller Assembly: Propellers are marked "A" or "B" and must be installed in the correct motor positions using a screw wrench.
- Power On/Off: Hold the battery switch for 3 seconds to power on/off the aircraft. The remote control powers on/off with a single click and a 3-second press, respectively.
- Pairing: Automatic pairing between the remote control and aircraft after power-on.
- Compass Calibration: A crucial pre-flight step involving specific joystick movements and body rotations to calibrate the compass. The app provides status updates during calibration.
- Gyroscope Calibration: Performed by pushing joysticks into the 11 & 1 o'clock position on a flat surface.
- GPS Searching: The aircraft searches for GPS signals in open areas, indicated by slow-flashing green (back) and white (front) lights.
- Motor Start/Stop: Push joysticks into 5 & 7 o'clock positions to start motors. Motors stop automatically if not operated after 20 seconds or by pushing joysticks into the 5 & 7 o'clock positions again.
- Dual Remote Controller Mode: Allows switching the right joystick to function as the throttle stick.
- Way Point Flight: Set up to 16 points on a map in the app for the drone to follow. Requires mobile internet connection.
- Point of Interest: The drone hovers around a center point, with adjustable surrounding speed and direction (clockwise/counterclockwise) via the right joystick.
- Emergency Stop: Activated by clicking and holding the STOP button for 3 seconds, only if the aircraft height is within 6 meters.
- GPS Follow Me: The drone follows the smart phone's GPS, maintaining a distance of 10-50 meters. Not equipped with obstacle avoidance.
- Image Recognition Follow Me/Gesture Control: Tap on an object/person in the app to track it. Hand gestures can trigger photo or video recording.
- Return-to-Home (RTH): Smart RTH (manual trigger), Low-Battery RTH (automatic at low battery, ascends/descends to 30m), and Fail Connection RTH (automatic upon signal loss).
- Trim Under No GPS Mode: Allows adjusting the aircraft's balance when flying without GPS by pushing the direction joystick.
- "SJ GPS PRO" App: Connects via WIFI, provides live view, flight status, media library, and settings for beginner mode (flight distance 0-30m, altitude 0-30m, RTH altitude under 20m).
- Camera Functions: Take photos and videos via remote control or app. Indicators flash for photos and continuously for recording.
- Media Storage: Original images and videos are saved on an SD card (sold separately) and can be viewed and saved to the mobile app album. SD card resolution is higher than app album resolution.
- Lost Drone Search: The app can display the last known GPS position of a lost drone on a map.
Maintenance Features:
- Propeller Replacement: Instructions provided for replacing "A" and "B" propellers using a screw wrench.
- Battery Charging: Use the original charger. Supervise charging and unplug when fully charged to prevent over-charging. Keep away from combustible objects.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
- Parts: Only use original SJ-Series parts for re-equipping or maintenance to ensure safety and maintain warranty.
- Troubleshooting: Common problems and solutions are provided, including drone not responding (re-sync remote, recharge battery), blades spinning but no takeoff (recharge battery, replace blades), quadcopter shaking (replace blades), and drone not balanced (replace blades, replace motor).
- Cleaning: Avoid moisture or water entering the aircraft to prevent damage to electronic and mechanical parts.
