How to use the Staaker
Before use
The Staaker drone is ready to fly out of the box. Still we recommend to do some preparations
and make this a routine before every flight. Before takeoff, the drone and the tracker require
connection with each other and a good GPS signal reception. When the system is ready, select
takeoff mode to begin!
Check list
1. Check if you got the latest firmware update on your drone and tracker.
2. Make sure the drone and tracker is not damaged, the propellers are fastened tightly,
arms are locked and the camera is properly secured.
3. Make sure the Tracker and the drone battery is fully charged for a longer and safer flight.
4. Check that the camera gets charged from the drone and the gimbal is working.
5. Make sure that you are not flying in a designated “no fly zone”, nearby airports, urban
areas or in crowded areas such as public parks. Respect the safety and privacy of
others.
Things to be aware of while flying
When takeoff is complete, the drone will instantly enter a follow mode and is ready to track your
movements. If you move around, the drone will match your movements and try to keep you in
the video frame at all times. The drone is not equipped with any anti-collision sensors and it is
important that you takeoff and position it in a location free from obstacles.
While the autopilot will autonomously follow use according to your follow mode instructions, the
person holding the tracker is still the pilot of the system and is responsible that the drone
operates safely. Do not fly the drone close to people, animals or buildings. Remember that the
drone uses GPS technology to track your position and movements, which under nominal usage
has an error of 2.5 meters radius on average. In degraded conditions (for example obstructed
sky due to rainfall or a mountain) the GPS error can be as large as 10 meters.
Due to variable GPS accuracy, it is good practice to place the drone at least 10
meters away from any people (including yourself) at all times.
When using
Quick Staak
or
Pro Staak
with
Altitude Tracking
enabled, you need to be aware that
the drone is flying high enough above the ground. The drone will try to keep a fixed altitude
above you in the Follow, Compass and Circle follow modes. This means that if the tracker
descends 5 meters, the drone will also descend 5 meters. Be aware of this when positioning the
drone,
the drone keeps fixed altitude above the tracker and not the ground
. It is generally good
