Advanced functionalities
Caution: The motor of the drone is now controlled by the remote
control and will begin spinning if the left stick is pushed up. Always
keep the area around the propeller clear of obstacles and body parts
to prevent injury.
3. Firmly grasp the swinglet CAM horizontally with level wings using both hands,
one hand on the front of each wing. Shake the drone back and forth 3 times
longitudinally (within approx. 3 seconds). The status LED will pulse blue
while the drone’s autopilot performs a start-up sequence. As the motor is
now controlled by the remote control, it will not begin spinning. Once the
sequence is complete, the status LED will turn green (solid or blinking, de-
pending on the angle at which you are holding the drone).
Caution: Taking off without performing the motor power-up se-
quence will result in the swinglet CAM staying in Idle mode during
the entire flight and is not recommended. The drone will no longer
be able to enter automatic mode while in flight and must land using
manual control.
4. The swinglet CAM is now ready for manual take-off. Orient yourself into
the wind, and confirm that the take-off direction in front of you is free of
obstacles. We recommend that you take off at full power and into the wind
by setting the left stick to its highest position and releasing the drone when
the status LED is solid green.
6.4 Assisted Manual mode
In Assisted Manual mode the sticks on the remote control set the desired speed,
turn rate and climb or sink rate. These commands are then transferred to control
signals for the individual actuators by the autopilot based on feedback from its
sensors. This control scheme simplifies control of the
swinglet CAM .
