Flight Mode The GDU O2 series product supports two flight modes: 1. Standard mode (maximum flight speed: 5m/s) Accurate hovering and smart flight can be achieved through the use of the GPS module and vision position system.
higher than 5m, the aircraft will return at the current height. If the aircraft is over 20m away from the return point, the aircraft will rise to the preset height (if the current height is above the set height, the aircraft will fly at the current height), fly directly above the return point, and then slowly land. ※ Please set the return height in the flight setting interface of the GDU Mini App. 1.
If the remaining power is 30% or less of total power, the low power alert will be triggered, the red indicator will flash slowly, and the GDU Mini App will remind the user of the low power levels. Low power return If the remaining power is 20% or less of total power, the red indicator will flash quickly,and the aircraft will be forced to return automatically. During the return process, the aircraft can be controlled by remote controller (assuming standard signal levels).
Downward Vision System Application Scenario The downward vision system is effective with height less than 8m, in poor GPS signal conditions. It is particularly applicable to indoor flight. Operating Steps 1. Use the remote controller to switch the flight mode into standard mode. 2. Turn on the aircraft’s power supply. Wait until the flight status indicator is a steady green ON. 3. Engage the sticks to start the aircraft.
The accuracy of the vision position system is likely to be influenced by light intensity and surface of obstacles, and ultrasonic positioning may be inaccurate if the drone flies close to sound-absorbing materials. Therefore, be careful not to rely on the vision position system in the following conditions: Light intensity: less than 10lux or more than 10,000lux. Operating temperature: below -10℃ or above 55℃. Flight altitude: more than 4,000m. Excessively flight speed.
requirements. 5. The aircraft should fly more than 3m above the ground after the Follow/Around function is enabled. 6. Always pay attention to surrounding objects along the aircraft’s Follow/Around route, and be ready to switch to manual control or click “STOP” on the GDU Mini APP to avoid collision in case of emergency. 7. Pedestrians should be kept more than 5m away from aircraft in Follow/Around mode. 8.
1. Click the smart function button “ ”, and select “Follow Me” in the pop-up interface to enter Follow me mode. A target selection prompt will appear. 2. Select the target by one of two means: A. Double-click: double-click the face or pedestrian icon on the screen to detect the target. After the target is selected, a green cursor prompt will appear on the screen. B. Box selection: press your finger on the screen and drag a box until the selected area fully covers the target outline.
1. Click the smart function button “ ” in the GDU Mini App flight interface. Select “Gesture Shot” in the pop-up interface to enter Gesture shot mode. This mode supports two functions: photo and video. 1) Photo Make a V ( ) gesture in front of the gimbal camera. After this gesture is recognized successfully, the GDU Mini APP will commence a 3 second countdown. The user should pose during this time. The photo will be taken at the end of the countdown.
3. If “EXIT” is clicked, the aircraft will exit the Dronie mode and hover in its current position. Rocket Operating steps: 1. Click the smart function button “ ” in the GDU Mini App flight interface. Select “Rocket” in the pop-up interface to enter the Rocket mode. 2. The user should set the flight distance, select video or photo mode along with the control mode, and then click “Start flight”. The aircraft will rise vertically, and the target will be shot vertically.
Finally, tighten the screws. Screw Clamp Blade ④ Motor shaft slot The process of propeller disassembly is as follows. First, remove the screws.

in real-time. ※ The Back-to-center button can be customized. ※ The gimbal camera can also be controlled by the GDU Mini App. See details in APP. Aircraft Control The remote controller supports three modes: American (Mode 1), Japanese (Mode 3) and Chinese (Mode 2). The control sticks are defined as follows. 1. American (Mode 1): throttle and rotation on left stick, and left/right and forward/backward on right stick. 2.
The default mode is American (Mode 1). You can change the operating mode of the remote controller in the Control settings interface of the GDU Mini App. Frequency Matching Frequency matching of the remote controller and built-in receiver has been performed before delivery, so the user can directly access the remote controller. If the aircraft or remote controller is replaced, frequency matching should be redone.
Upgrading the Remote controller Upgrading the remote controller includes upgrading of both the operation system and the video transmission system. Download the upgrade tool and firmware of the O2 controller from GDU official website www.gdu-tech.com, install it by connecting the controller to the PC with USB cable, open the upgrade software and click connect, once it is normally connected, click to upgrade the firmware, wait till the upgrading is completed.
Gimbal Overview The three-axis stabilized gimbal provides a stable platform for the camera, so as to shoot high quality images during high-speed flight. With this high-precision three-axis anti-shake gimbal, the variations in accuracy will be 0.02° or less. Even in case of heavy maneuvering, photography will remain accurate to within 0.05° or less, thus preventing shaking and enabling HD video recording and image acquisition.
GDU Mini App The GDU Mini APP is application software designed by GDU for O2 series products. The user can use the software to control the aircraft, the gimbal camera and its gimbal, thus enabling the functions of flight control, shooting/recording, course planning, parameter settings, media sharing, etc. The GDU Mini APP is composed of four parts: Drone, Media, Explore and Me. ※ The interfaces and functions of the app will be regularly upgraded.
