Flight

Step 1

 - Ensure that:

• 

landing conditions are safe, including low winds

• 

X2 is hovering stationary within a few feet (~1 m)

• 

X2 is not following a subject

• 

X2 is over level and stable ground

• 

you have ample space to physically move yourself 
beneath the drone

Step 2

 - Orient so that the camera faces away from you

Step 3

 - Initiate a landing

Step 4

 - While X2 is landing, move yourself into a 

position that will allow X2 to safely land in your hand.

• 

you will be able to nudge the drone forward, 
backward, left, or right, however it is best and safest 
to adjust your position to meet the drone.

• 

do not attempt to hand land before obstacle 
avoidance has been disabled. Obstacle avoidance 
is disabled when altitude is below 10 ft (3 m). You will 
be notified when obstacle avoidance is disabled.

Step 5

 - After obstacle avoidance has been disabled, 

allow the drone battery to land gently onto your hand. 
Grasp the battery on the sides and hold the drone in 
the same position until the propellers completely stop 
spinning.

• 

During landing X2 is verifying that it is supported 
by a stable surface and motionless for several 
seconds to ensure that a safe touchdown has been 
achieved. It may take several seconds to stop the 
propellers after touch down. 

• 

If X2 is not level and motionless, the propellers may 
start spinning again. If this happens, maintain a firm 
grip on the battery and keep the vehicle stable and 
motionless.  

• 

Do not attempt to rotate or flip the vehicle during a 
hand landing.  Doing so may cause the battery to 
become dislodged.

Only use hand landing when absolutely necessary.

 

Do not attempt a hand landing if:

• 

in GPS Night Flight mode

• 

the wind is strong

• 

X2 is not stable in flight for any reason

• 

X2 is performing an emergency landing after an 
accident or crash

• 

you are in an area where you do not have stable 
footing

• 

you are on a moving vehicle or boat

• 

you are not an experienced pilot

Hand landing

WARNING:

 Exercise extreme care to avoid injury when attempting to land a drone on your hand. Do not attempt 

to hand-land before X2 is in a landing state as it may cause severe injury. Attempting to hand-land while obstacle 
avoidance is active will cause X2 to avoid your hand and crashing intoyou or surrounding objects. Hand-landing should 
only be used when surrounding surface conditions are unfavorable. Land on a flat surface when possible. 
NEVER hand-land when in GPS Night Flight mode, as it may cause severe injury.
