temperature before charging again.

The gimbal of F11GIM2 drone ensure the user can capture clear and

stable impage and videos even when the drone is ﬂying, the camera

also equipped with electronic stabilization function.

The camera uses an upgraded 5GHz Wi-Fi FPV real-time transmis-

sion function, equipped with 2-Axis Gimbal 4K EIS, 100 FOV lens

and a 80 adjustable camera, which can stably shoot 4K ultra-clear

videos and images, providing you with a broad ﬁeld of vision for

unforgettable moments.

Do not turn on the aircraft when it is on desk or hollow wooden ﬂoor.

They will amplify the small vibrations into high-frequency vibrations,

which will cause the gimbal cannot work.

Do not interfere with the gimbal by putting external forces or

picking up the aircraft during calibration. Otherwise, the gimbal will

stop to work.

Camera Guideline:

Please take off the gimbal camera cover before ﬂight.

When taking off from grass or sand, please place the aircraft on

Description

F11GIM2 User Manual

The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the drone back to the

Home Point.

This function can only be achieved under GPS mode. There are three

types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Fail connection RTH.

If the drone have successfully recorded the Take off Point and the

GPS signal is strong, the RTH will be triggered when either the Smart

RTH is initiated, the drone battery level is low, or when the signal

between the drone and remote controller is lost.

Fail Connection RTH

If the Home Point has been recorded successfully and the compass

function can work normally, the Fail Connection RTH function will

be triggered once the remote controller signal is lost, the drone will

return to the Home point in straight line. The drone may link to the

remote controller automatically during the RTH process, if

connected successfully, the RTH process will stop.

Low-Battery RTH

Low-Battery RTH is triggered when the drone battery level is low,

this function is triggered automatically, drone will ﬁrst rise to the

setted return altitude and ﬂy back to the Home Point, this process is

unable to cancel, but it is allowed to control the drone with direction

joystick to land it in a safe area.

If the battery can't support the drone ﬂy back to the Home Point, it

will land automatically where it is, and the remote controller dirction

joystick is available during landing.

Cautions

Never turn off the remote controller during RTH process.

Set a proper return home altitude on the app before take-off.

NO obstacle avoidance function is available with this drone.

When ﬂight distance less than 98 ft, the drone ﬂies back at the

current altitude instead of setted return altitude, make sure it

ﬂies higher than any other objects surrounding.

When ﬂight distance further than 98 ft, make sure the drone

has enough battery to ﬂy back.

The drone can NOT return to Home Point without a strong GPS

signal.
