The SHIFT RED is a compact drone designed for both dynamic flight and stable aerial photography, offering a range of features for users from beginners to thrill-seekers.
Function Description:
The SHIFT RED drone is a versatile aerial device capable of real-time camera view and video recording. It supports various camera works and flight modes, making it suitable for diverse applications. The drone is controlled via a dedicated controller and a companion mobile application, "SHIFT Drone," which allows users to view live camera feeds, adjust settings, and select different flight modes.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific numerical specifications like battery capacity, flight time, or camera resolution are not explicitly detailed in the provided document, the manual highlights several key operational aspects:
- Speed Levels: The drone supports four distinct speed level modes: Casual, Joy, Sporty, and Extreme. These can be adjusted via the controller.
- Flight Modes: It offers two primary flight modes: Free Flight Mode and Stable Shooting Mode.
- Free Flight Mode: Described as dynamic, this mode is recommended for "pro and thrill-seeker" users, suggesting higher agility and responsiveness.
- Stable Shooting Mode: This mode emphasizes stability with fixed speed and altitude, flying at right angles. It is recommended for "beginner and stable shootings of videos and pictures," indicating features like image stabilization or precise movement for photography.
- Connectivity: The drone connects to a mobile device via Wi-Fi (e.g., 'SHIFT-DRONE-XXXX' with password '1234567890') for app control and live video streaming.
- Controller Ring: The controller features a "ring" for interaction, used for power on/off, speed setting, take-off, landing, and hovering. It's important to keep the controller ring at least 30 cm (1.0ft) away from the controller when turning it on.
Usage Features:
- Power On/Off: Both the aircraft and the controller are powered on/off by pressing their respective power buttons for 2 seconds.
- Pairing: The aircraft and controller auto-pair once both are powered on.
- Speed Setting: Users can change the drone's speed by briefly pressing the controller's power button once. The current mode is displayed on the controller's pad. To save a new speed setting, the user places their thumb on the desired mode on the pad and touches the center. Pressing the power button briefly releases from the setting function.
- Take-off: Initiated by touching the center of the controller pad with the ring for 1 second.
- Landing: While the drone is hovering, touching the center of the pad with the ring for 1 second initiates landing.
- Hovering: After take-off, the aircraft automatically hovers. For manual hovering or to release from it, the user places and holds their thumb in the center of the pad for 3 seconds (without touching the pad itself). If the ring goes out of range, the drone enters hovering mode and needs to be released again.
- Switching Shooting Mode: The flight mode (Free Flight or Stable Shooting) can be switched by holding the jog on the controller during flight for 1 second.
- SHIFT Drone App: The companion app provides a real-time camera view and allows for various camera operations. It includes settings for video quality/frame, Wi-Fi, sensor calibration, and version information.
- Lezero Pilot Modes: Within the app, users can access "Lezero Pilot Modes" for automated flight patterns:
- Orbit: The drone flies in a circular path.
- Dolly: The drone flies steadily from right to left.
- Dolly In: The drone moves closer to the subject.
- Dolly Out: The drone moves farther away from the subject.
- Following: The drone follows a designated object.
- Horizontal Tracking: The drone tracks an object while flying horizontally.
- Yaw Tracking: The drone performs a yaw rotation towards a target while maintaining its position.
- Hero: The drone tracks an object, flies, and orbits once when the object stops.
Maintenance Features:
- Battery Charging: Users are instructed to charge the batteries of both the aircraft and controller before first usage.
- Firmware Updates: The manual advises checking the firmware version and notes that the latest firmware for both the aircraft and controller is available on the SHIFT website (https://www.thisiseng.com/supports/download). This implies that firmware updates are a routine maintenance task to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
- User Manual: Users are encouraged to read the user manual carefully, suggesting it contains detailed information on operation and care.
- Sensor Calibration: The app interface includes a "Sensor Calibration" option, indicating that users can perform calibration to maintain accurate flight performance.
Safety and Responsibility:
The manual emphasizes flying responsibly, adhering to regulations and safety rules in each territory. It also warns that Level 4 (Extreme) is high-speed and requires careful flight.
