About
was designed and optimized to fly as is. Parrot therefore strongly discourages the
use of any add-on or accessory which could be mounted on, or attached to
(motor
covers, feet extensions, buoys, hulls, etc.). In addition to the overweight they carry for the
drone and its motors, they can indeed magnetically disturb
and impair its
communications.
ND filters, however, are not affected by this warning: filters can be used on
’
s lens, but
Parrot recommends installing them carefully,
after the drone’s gimbal initialization
.
About 4K video formats
4K video formats are professional grade media which may not be read natively by slower
computers. Shoot in 1080p or use a video converter to turn your
’s
4K videos into a
more manageable format (like 1080p) if they do not read properly on your equipment. This is
especially
true for Parrot’s 4K Cinema format, which can only be handled by professional
editing equipment.
About the smart battery
’s
smart battery is preinstalled on your drone. Always install it the same way and
never attempt to install it upside down as it could expose your battery and your drone to
irrecoverable electrical damage. As you will find out by reading this guide,
’s battery is
smart enough to enter a wintering mode when you are not using it for ten days in a row.
This also means you need to wake it up and charge it completely before you fly
for
the first time.
About auto-RTH (return home)
By design, when synchronized to GPS and Glonass satellites and when short on power,
will always attempt to come back to its most recent take-off point, at minimal height
over this take-off point, which is configurable through FreeFlight 6 (between 20 meters and
100 meters) and is set by default at 30 meters.
For this reason, Parrot recommends
pilots to take extra care when moving away from
the take-off location of their drone (for example to follow
). In such cases, pilots must
cancel the auto-RTH from the orange 1-minute alert which appears on the screen of their
device, and keep piloting
while monitoring closely its battery level, until it runs out of
power and lands.
