This will prevent any inadvertent start-ups.

•  It is suggested to use a glove or some other form of hand 

protection when installing or removing the propellers on the 

motors. The edges of the propeller blades may be sharp and 

could lead to cuts.

GIMBAL 

•  The Xplorer V and the Xplorer G both include a 3-axis 

stabilized gimbal unit that may be used to capture the perfect 

video or still photo. The gimbal ensures that the camera is 

secured to the drone and that it remains level and stable 

throughout the flight.

•  Note: if you have purchased the Xplorer Standard/Basic and 

will not be using a camera with your drone, please skip this 

section and proceed to the information on “Installing the 

Flight Battery”.

 Installing the Gimbal

**Note** The gimbal is a delicate item and needs to always 

be handled with extreme care. We suggest becoming familiar 

with the flight and flight characteristics of the Xplorer prior to 

installing the gimbal and camera unit. 

Step 1:

 If the battery has already been installed on the 

Xplorer, it will be necessary to remove it from the drone prior 

to installing the gimbal unit. Once this has been done, place 

the Xplorer on its back (with the landing gear facing upwards) 

and position the landing gear so that they are in the horizontal 

position. That is, each of the legs should be positioned so that 

they are closest to the LED lamps on the drone. 

 

Step 2:

 While grasping the gimbal securely, align the 

receptacle on the bottom of the Xplorer with the pins on the 

gimbal and insert the gimbal into the bottom of the Xplorer. 

Additionally, ensure that the tab on the gimbal is inserted into 

the slot on the Xplorer. Gently push the gimbal down, making 

sure to listen for the audible click. 

Step 3:

 Visibly inspect the locking mechanism to ensure that 

the gimbal is securely attached to the Xplorer. Make sure the 

gimbal pull tab shows in the locked position.

Step 4:

 Install/Reinstall the battery and position the landing 

gear to the vertical position. This provides clearance for the 

camera and the gimbal. 

Step 5:

  The gimbal has been shipped with a composite gimbal 

protector to ensure that the unit does not get damaged in 

transit. Remove the protector from the gimbal by pulling it 

away from the gimbal. When removed, the gimbal will move 

freely. Please be cautious so that it is not damaged. 

XPLORER CAMERA INSTALLATION 

Included with the Xplorer V, and available as an option item, 

Xiro has an action camera that is capable of capturing video 

and still photographs. The Xplorer G enables the user to install 

another manufacturer’s camera in the supplied gimbal unit. 

If using an action camera other than the Xiro-supplied unit, 

please install it at this time. Ensure that the desired camera 

will fit within the camera frame on the gimbal. Align the 

camera body and the pins on the gimbal frame and then slide 

the camera into the camera body so that the pins are firmly 

inserted into the camera’s receptacle. The camera is now firmly 

attached to the gimbal unit.  

Please note: the Xplorer’s gimbal cannot control other action 

cameras. It is only able to support the real-time preview, etc.

Connecting the Camera

•  Please go to your app store, download the Xirodrone 

Application for your mobile device, and refer to the 

“Xirodrone Application” section of this manual for additional 

information.

•  Regardless of the camera utilized with your Xplorer, the steps 

to connect them are the same. Please follow the steps as 

listed below: 

Step 1:

 Power ON the transmitter. 

Step 2:

 Following the safe practices noted throughout this 

manual, turn ON the Xplorer. 

Step 3:

 When the Wi-Fi connection indicator turns green, 

enable the Wi-Fi in the mobile device and select “Xplorer 

XXXXXX” from the Wi-Fi list.

Step 4:

 Open the Xiro App on your mobile device.

Step 5:

 Scroll through the Xiro product offerings until the 

applicable Xplorer is shown. Then press the “Start Aerial 

Photography” button in the application.

**Note** If you want to rename the Range Extender SSID 

this can be done in the App. To do so, please reference the 

information found elsewhere in this manual. 

Lens Filter 

The camera supplied with the Xplorer V includes a lens filter 

that is already in place on the camera as shipped from the 

factory. This filter should be used on sunny days to eliminate 

some of the brightness from the videos/images. If it is sunny, 

please leave the lens filter in place and only remove the lens 

cover itself. To remove the lens filter simply pull outwards 

on the lens cap. The lens filter is attached magnetically, so it 

should be fairly easy to remove.
