the LED can be used determine the orientation of the Flitt.

Altitude Slide Bar

Slide this control up or down to change the Flitt altitude. When 
the control is released, the Flitt will hover at the selected height. 
Holding the control down while the Flitt is on the ground will 
stop the motors.

Screen Gesture Swipe Control

This part of your screen shows you what the Flitt camera sees. 
The image can be moved to the left or the right by swiping the 
screen. This rotates Flitt so the camera will see the picture you 
want to take.

Frame Your Subject

You can move the image you see on the screen from side to side 
by swiping the open screen area. This rotates Flitt so that you 
can easily frame your perfect shot! For framing up and down, 
use the altitude slider in small movements.

Controls

Use the directional control stick, altitude slide bar, and left/right 
swipe area to control the position of Flitt. For easiest control, 
make small movements and then let go. To rotate, swipe the 

screen left or right. If you want to rotate constantly, swipe one 
direction and hold. There are fi ne tune buttons to compensate 
for any slight drift.

The orientation of the controls are as if you were sitting inside Flitt. 
So, if you rotate, you may fi nd that moving left moves Flitt towards 
or away from you. With practice, this will become second nature.

Take Off 

Push “Take off” when green. For your safety, Flitt will re-lock 
after fi ve seconds to prevent unintentional takeoffs.

Land 

The 

Take Off

 button will change to a

 button after the Flitt 

takes off. Tapping this button will make the Flitt slowly land. 
Landing can be stopped by sliding the Altitude Slide Bar up.

Gallery 

Tapping this button will display the images and videos that have 
been created by the Flitt.

Memory Card Capacity 

When an optional memory card is loaded in Flitt, the available 
free space is displayed. The Flitt uses a micro memory card 
with a capacity of 2 to 32 GB (FAT32 format). A memory card 
is not required for operation. However, if you desire high quality 
images and video, we recommend using a card.

White

 indicates the charge is above 40%

Red (steady)

 indicates the charge is between 40% and 20%

Red (fl ashing)
