SCOUT
Q1: How do I connect my Scout drone to the remote control?
A1: Before attempting to set up your Scout drone ensure that the Scout drone battery is fully charged and new batteries have been installed into the remote control.
Do a complete check of your surroundings making sure there are no hazards in your vicinity.
Turn on the Scout drone’s power switch and place the drone on a flat, level surface facing away from you.
With the left thumbstick in the down position, turn on the power switch on the remote control.
Move the left thumbstick up to the highest position, and then return it down to the lowest position.
The Remote will beep indicating that the connection has been made, and you are ready for lift off.
Q2: Why is my Scout drone drifting sideways/backward/forwards?
A2: Your Scout drone may need to be calibrated.
To calibrate your Scout drone correctly make sure you are launching the drone from a flat, level surface.
Switch on the Scout drone and the remote control.
Make the connection between the controller and Scout drone.
Just before you take off, with the Scout drone still on a flat level surface hold the right thumbstick (Pitch/Roll) in the lower right diagonal position for 5 seconds.
The Scout drone will now be recalibrated.
To fine tune any drift further use the trimming controls on the remote control to balance any unwanted movement.
Before adjusting trimming settings make sure that the Scout is not being affected by any outside forces such as wind or drafts.
Q3: How can I get the best footage out of my Scout drone?
A3: We recommend using a class 10 SD card from a reputable brand. Better quality SD cards will yield better footage.
