ENGLISH
picture below.
On the start-screen, you have the following buttons/options available:
1. SETTINGS
If you press the SETTINGS button, you will have the following options:
a) Language setting -> You can choose from different languages here
b) Parameters auto save -> Your settings will be saved, LEAVE THIS ON!
c) Reset parameters -> All settings will be reset to default again
d) Reverse control screen by gravity sensing -> The control screen rotates around
180° if you turn your smartphone. We do NOT recommend to use this feature,
LEAVE IT OFF
e) Right hand mode -> Switches the control sticks between MODE 1 and MODE 2
(default), see HELP-screens for further details.
We recommend to LEAVE THIS FEATURE OFF
PLEASE NOTE:
If an option-slider is GREEN, the setting is checked/ON, if it is GREY,
the setting is unchecked/OFF
2. HELP
The help screen shows all kinds of information concerning the buttons and flight
control. It is pretty much self-explanatory and all topics will also be covered here in
the manual. The help screen shall serve as a quick reference guide if you don‘t have
your manual at hand.
3. START
When you press the START button you will enter the main control screen where you
control your Gravit, receive the live video image and take control of the advanced
features
PLEASE NOTE:
When talking about the virutal buttons on the control screen of your
smartphone, we use the following terms/expressions for describing the state of the
button/function:
- „Checked“ or „highlighted“ (yellow) or „activated“ or „ON“ -> This means that
the button has been pressed and that its function is PERMANENTLY ON UNTIL it is
pressed a second time.
Some buttons can be checked, others can NOT. If a button can NOT be checked, this
means it does something immediately upon pressing it and then the button setting
is back to default.
Example: If you press the Photo-button (1), it does NOT become checked/highligh-
ted, it simply triggers taking a photo and is then back to its default position. The
Gyro-control-button (6) works differently.
If you press it once, it will become checked/highlighted/activated/on and the gy-
ro-control is enabled UNTIL you press the button again and uncheck/disable to but-
ton.
Identifying checked/enabled features is rather easy, because a checked/activated
feature will be HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW COLOR.
The control screen looks like the picture above. For easy reference, each of the con-
trol buttons has been numbered. Please check the function in the following descrip-
tion:
0
-> If you press this button, you will leave the control screen and get back to the
Start-Screen
1
-> Press this button to take a picture
2
-> Press this button to start/stop a video recording. If you start a recording, a timer
will run below this button to show you the recording time
3
-> Play media -> When you press this button you will enter the media playback
menue. Here you can watch your recorded movies and photos and delete them
4
-> Power Level -> This is the power level setting. It can be either 30%, 60% or
100%. The higher the level, the more power and agility your Gravit will have. You can
change the power level by tapping on the button. The power level will cycle through
the 30/60/100% setting when you press the button. Leave the power level to 30% if
you are a beginner.
5
-> 360° Flip -> When you press this button, it will be highlighted yellow and the
flip-mode is activated. In flip-mode, you can have your Gravit perform flips in any direc-
tion. To do so, simply tilt your smartphone into the direction you want to do the flip.
Be sure to tilt your smartphone above an angle of 80% to trigger the flip-
ping and don‘t tilt it too quickly or jerky. When the Gravit has done its
flip, the 360° Flip-button should be greyed out (=deactivated) again. To
do another flip, simply press the button and tilt your smartphone again.
If you have pressed the button but then decide to rather NOT do a flip at the moment,
simply press the button again to uncheck the flipping function again.
6
-> Gyro-control. When this option is checked/highlighted, the Gravit can
be controlled by the gyro of your smartphone. This means, that the Gra-
vit is flying into the direction your are tilting your smartphone. The further
you tilt it, the faster the movement into the appropriate direction will be.
If you disable the feature (by unchecking the button), you can control the fo-
ward and sideward movement of your Gravit by moving the right virtu-
al control stick on your smartphones screen in the corresponding direction.
We recommend flying the Gravit by using the gyro-control. According to our expe-
riences, it is more precise, intuitive and fun.
7
-> Altitude-hold. We STRONGLY recommend to keep this featue enabled/checked
ALL the time. When this featue is checked, the Gravit holds its altitude automatical-
ly, which makes flying it a LOT easier and more fun. The buttons 15 (Auto-land), 16
(Emergency-Stop) and 17 (Lock/Unlock motors) are also ONLY available if Altitu-
de-Hold is active. If you choose to DEACTIVATE altitude-hold and fly the Gravit „ma-
nually“, please refer to the the chapter „Flying the Gravit WITHOUT Altitude-hold““
in this manual.“
8
-> This button enables/disables the virtual controls in general. We STRONGLY
recommend to have this ON ALL THE TIME, because otherwise you will not be able
to control your Gravit properly.
9
-> This button is giving access to a pull-down menue with additional features. As
long as you do not plan to use those features (see button 10-13 below), you can leave
this button unchecked for a clearer screen layout. The button itself does NOT have a
function, it only makes the additional feature either visible or invisible.
10
-> The REV-button rotates the live video image of your Gravit by 180°.
11
-> Headless Flying. This button enables/disables the Headless Flying feature. If
you want to use headless flying, please check this button.
How to use „Headless Flying“:
When you press the „Headless Flying“ -button, the Gravit memorizes its current
orientation (=its facing of the front). As long as you stay in this mode, the flight
direction of the copter will always be based on the memorized orientation when
you issue flight controls, no matter what direction the copter is ACTUALLY facing.
Here is an example. Let‘s say that you have positioned the Gravit in front of you on
the ground, facing straight AWAY from you towards NORTH with its nose. Then you
press the „Headless Flying“ - button. Your Gravit memorizes this heading/orienta-
tion as „forward“ (or NORTH) position/heading. Next you take off and rotate the
Gravit by 180°, facing towards you (SOUTH) with its front. If you now issue the flight
command „Fly forwards“ by moving your right control stick away (upwards) from
you, the Gravit actually fly AWAY from you (towards its memorized forward/NORTH
position, INSTEAD of flying TOWARDS you (south) as it would normally when facing
you with its front.
-> This means, once you press the „Headless Flying“ -button, the controls of the
Gravit are „locked“ relative to the heading it had when you pressed the button. If
you do not switch your position, moving your control stick right will always make
the Gravit fly right, no matter which orientation the Gravit‘s front actually has. The
same goes for flying left, forward and backward. Once you press the „Headless
Flying“ button again, the controls are back to normal and movement of your Gravit
is dependent on its heading of the front/nose again.
How „Headless Flying“ should be normally used:
To get the most out of this feature, LRP advises to enable „Headless Flying“ ONLY
when the copter is actually facing STRAIGHT AWAY from you with its FRONT. By
doing so, you can easily control the Gravit during flight because you simply have
to push the control sticks into the direction you want the Gravit to fly, NO MATTER
