Fotokite Phi - Fotokite Thrust Equalization Guide

6. Once the Flight Frame-
successfully hovers
with minimal vertical
movement, press both
the Yaw and Orbit button
to validate the calibration.
Then, restart the Flight
Frame.
When carrying a heavy payload:
The Flight Frame is calibrated to function with a GoPro Hero4 from which the battery has been removed. If you operate the Fotokite with a dierent and
heavier device, your unit’s center of gravity shifts, which can cause it to y unbalanced.
When experiencing odd ight behaviour:
All Fotokites are calibrated during production. However, it can happen that the calibration is not done perfectly or needs to be done again for various
reasons.
