Intelligent Orientation Mode
Your Recon HD is equipped with IOM functionality that locks the aileron and
elevator commands to a specific compass bearing no matter which direction the
front of the quadcopter is facing. IOM is perfect for creative video making as it
allows you to disengage the yaw (camera pan) function from the other primary
controls to make combined flying and filming much easier. To activate IOM:
1. Position the quadcopter directly in front of you with the camera facing
forward (i.e. in the direction you wish IOM to use).
2. Without moving the quad, prepare it for flight by connecting the battery and
arming the motors.
3. Press the IOM button on the transmitter – a single beep will be heard and
the quad’s lights will flash to confirm that IOM is active. Note: the lights will
now continue to flash until the IOM function is switched off.
4. To test the IOM function, lift the quad into a stable hover with the camera
facing forward. The quad should respond as normal, i.e. if you push the
elevator stick forward the quad will fly forward, if you pull the stick back it
will fly back. Left aileron stick will move it to the left and right aileron stick
will move it to the right. However, if you now yaw the quadcopter 45° to the
left and repeat the process, forward elevator stick will still make it fly away
from you, whist pulling back on the elevator stick will bring it back towards
you. Left aileron will continue to move it to the left and right aileron will
continue to move it to the right.
5. Press the IOM button once more to switch the function off and return to
normal flight. With IOM switched off the LED lights will stop flashing and
light solid.
If your Recon was facing North when IOM was activated this compass bearing
will be stored and reactivated whenever the IOM button is pressed. To alter the
heading the IOM function must be recalibrated as below:
1. Prepare your Recon HD for flight and arm the motors.
2. Position the quadcopter directly in front of you with the camera facing
forward.
3. Pull both transmitter sticks as far back as they will go then place the left-
hand stick in the bottom right-hand corner of the gimbal and the right-hand
transmitter stick in the bottom left-hand corner of the gimbal.
4. The Recon’s LED lights will flash four times to confirm that re-calibration
has been successful.
