5. Opstelling
5.1 Skroefinstallasie
Install the propellers according to the rotation direction of each motor. Ensure the correct propeller (CW or CCW) is mounted on the corresponding motor. The drone comes with Gemfan 5136 propellers.
- Identify the CW (Clockwise) and CCW (Counter-Clockwise) propellers.
- Match the propellers to the motor shafts, ensuring they sit flush.
- Secure each propeller with the provided M5 flange nylon knurled nut, tightening firmly but without excessive force.
5.2 Batteryverbinding
The drone uses a 6S LiPo battery (recommended 1050mAh-1550mAh) with an XT60EW-M power connector.
- Attach the battery anti-slip pads to the bottom of the drone frame where the battery will rest.
- Place the battery on the anti-slip pads.
- Secure the battery firmly using the provided battery straps (15*250mm or 20*250mm).
- Connect the battery's XT60 connector to the drone's XT60EW-M power connector. Ensure a secure connection.
5.3 Flight Controller Configuration (BetaFlight)
The GEP-F722-BT-HD V3 Flight Controller runs BetaFlight firmware. For initial setup, calibration, and advanced tuning, connect the drone to a computer via USB and use the BetaFlight Configurator software. Bluetooth connectivity is also available for mobile app tuning.
- Download and install the latest BetaFlight Configurator from the official BetaFlight webwebwerf.
- Connect the drone to your computer using a USB cable.
- Follow the on-screen instructions in BetaFlight Configurator for initial setup, sensor calibration, and mode configuration.
- Ensure your receiver (PNP / ELRS 2.4G / TBS NanoRX) is properly bound to your remote control. Refer to your receiver and remote control manuals for binding procedures.
5.4 GPS Module (Optional)
If your drone includes the optional GEP-M10 GPS module, ensure it is securely mounted and connected to the flight controller. Configure the GPS settings within BetaFlight Configurator for proper functionality.
6. Bedryf
6.1 Voorvlugkontroles
Voer die volgende kontroles uit voor elke vlug:
- Verify battery is fully charged and securely attached.
- Maak seker dat die skroewe korrek geïnstalleer en vasgedraai is.
- Kontroleer vir enige los drade of komponente.
- Confirm your remote control is powered on and bound to the drone.
- Check FPV goggles/monitor for clear video feed.
- Ensure GPS has a sufficient satellite lock (if applicable).
6.2 Aan- en ontwapen
Arming the drone activates the motors, allowing for flight. Disarming turns them off.
- Bewapening: Typically performed by moving the throttle stick to the lowest position and the yaw stick to the right (or left, depending on BetaFlight configuration). Refer to your BetaFlight setup for the exact arming sequence.
- Ontwapen: Performed by moving the throttle stick to the lowest position and the yaw stick to the left (or right). The motors will stop spinning.
- Always arm and disarm in a safe, clear area.
6.3 Vlugoperasie
Control the drone using your remote control. Familiarize yourself with the flight modes configured in BetaFlight (e.g., Acro, Angle, Horizon). Start with gentle movements and gradually increase your control as you gain experience.
6.4 O4 Air Unit Pro Camera and Recording
The integrated O4 Air Unit Pro features a 1/1.3-inch sensor for crisp 4K/120fps recording and real-time 1080P/100fps transmission. It is optimized for sharp visuals and improved performance in dim lighting.
Refer to the O4 Air Unit Pro manual for detailed instructions on video recording, settings adjustment, and file oordra.
7. Onderhoud
