This document provides an instruction guide for the Drone-Clone Xperts QuadAir EXTREME™ drone. It covers setup, calibration, flight control, and app usage.

Function Description

The QuadAir EXTREME™ is a drone designed for flight and aerial photography/videography. It features a collapsible design for portability and includes various functions to enhance flight stability and user experience. The drone can be controlled via a remote controller or a smartphone app (KY FPV).

Important Technical Specifications

While specific detailed specifications like battery capacity in mAh or motor types are not explicitly listed, the document highlights several key performance features:

4K HDR Camera: Equipped with a SONY IMX179 Image Sensor, capable of recording crystal clear videos in 4K at 25 frames per second (fps).
3-Axis Gimbal & EIS Anti-Shake Technology: A professional combination designed to provide ultra-smooth video, indicating advanced stabilization capabilities.
Longer Flight Range: Boasts a flight range of 4,000 feet, allowing for extended exploration and maintaining control over significant distances.
Longer Flight Time: Offers a flight time of 26 minutes, reducing the need for frequent battery changes during use.
Enhanced SD Card Reader (on-board): Facilitates improved image and video clarity and helps free up storage on a smartphone.
Obstacle Avoidance: Utilizes a laser to scan for obstacles in the drone's flight path, enabling the drone to avoid them automatically.

Usage Features

The QuadAir EXTREME™ offers a range of features for ease of use and enhanced flight control:

Quick Start and Preparation

Arm Deployment: Users must carefully pull out all four arms before flight.
Power On: The drone is turned on by holding the power button on its top side. The controller also has a power switch.
Flat Surface Placement: The drone should be placed on a flat, level surface for initial setup.

Calibration and Trimming

Gyro-Calibration (Remote Control):
1. Turn on the remote controller.
2. Turn on the drone.
3. Place the drone on a horizontal surface.
4. Bind the transmitter by pushing the left joystick (throttle) up to the highest position, then pulling it straight down to the lowest position. A solid light indicates successful binding.
5. Move both sticks to the lowest right corner. LED lights will flash rapidly, then become solid when calibration is complete.
Gyro-Calibration (Phone App):
1. Connect the phone to the drone's built-in WiFi network.
2. Open the KY FPV App and press "START."
3. Select the "Gyro Calibrate" icon. The drone's LED lights will flash rapidly and then turn solid, indicating successful calibration.
Fine-Tuning ("Trimming"): This is a crucial feature for optimal flight control, especially for beginners.
- Trimming helps the drone hover steadily in one location without drifting.
- If the drone drifts after takeoff, users should "TRIM" it in the opposite direction using dedicated trim buttons on the controller.
- Examples:
  - If the drone drifts to the right, use the LEFT Trim button.
  - If the drone drifts forwards, use the DOWN Trim button (Trim BACKWARDS).
- The manual provides visual examples of trim buttons for forward, backward, left, and right adjustments.

Flight Control

One-Key Take Off/Landing: Dedicated buttons on the controller allow for automatic takeoff (drone hovers at a certain altitude) and slow, gentle landing.
Throttle (Left Lever): Pushing up makes the aircraft rise; pulling down makes it descend.
Forward and Backward (Right Lever): Pushing up makes the aircraft advance; pulling down makes it go backward.
Left and Right Side Fly (Right Lever): Pushing the right lever to the left makes the plane fly left; pushing it to the right makes it fly right.
Turn Left and Right (Left Lever): Pushing the left lever to the left makes the aircraft turn left; pushing it to the right makes it turn right.

Phone App (KY FPV)

Download: The app can be downloaded by scanning a QR code for iOS or Android.
Device Connection: Connect to the drone's WiFi hotspot (e.g., "KY720-29DD961E").
Gesture Recognition:
- Gesture Photo: Raise an open palm (palm forward) about 2 meters in front of the camera. After recognition, a 3-second countdown begins, and a picture is taken.
- Gesture Video: Clench a fist (palm forward) about 2 meters in front of the camera. After recognition, a 3-second countdown begins, and video recording starts. Clenching the fist again ends the video.
Music Recording: Allows users to select background music from a library to accompany recordings.
Manual Focusing: Adjusts the image focal length (1x-50x digital magnification) using a trackball on the control interface.
Special Effects (Filters): Offers various filter options for photos and videos.
Single App Connection: Only one mobile app can connect to the aircraft at a time.

Maintenance Features

Battery Insertion: Instructions emphasize correct battery insertion to prevent it from getting stuck. The battery should be inserted with the white label facing up. Incorrect insertion (upside-down) is explicitly warned against.
Battery Charging: The document includes an image demonstrating how to charge the QuadAir EXTREME battery, though specific charging times or indicators are not detailed in the provided text.
Troubleshooting (Drifting): The trimming feature serves as a maintenance-like function to correct flight abnormalities that can occur after minor crashes or general use, ensuring optimal flight performance without physical repairs.
