User Manual

When you have
confirmed that
the files have
been successfully
transferred to your
device’s camera roll,
press Select and
choose the files you
wish to delete if you
no longer want them
in the file gallery.
SETTINGS
The settings menu
allows you to change
the WiFi name, adjust
brightness and
contrast, date code,
resolution mode, and
rotate camera view.
Changing the WiFi
Name will change
how the Camera is
identified in the WiFi network list.
The Brightness and Contrast will adjust the FPV feed display qualities. Video
and picture files will have the same display qualities as the feed. You may wish
to experiment with these settings depending on lighting conditions and personal
preferences. Press reset to return the brightness and contrast to the default values.
The Date Code will display the current date on the FPV feed when the Date Code
is turned ON. The date will also be seen in video recordings and pictures in the
same format as seen on the FPV feed. The Date Code is automatically updated
to match the date of your device when connected via WiFi network.
Resolution Mode switches the camera output between 1080p @ 30 frames/sec
and 720p @ 60 frames/sec. 1080p mode will provide you with a larger field of
view from the camera compared to 720p mode. 720p mode has the advantage
of smoother video recording which is also more suitable for post editing such
as applying slow-motion to video footage.
Rotate View will rotate the FPV feed and recorded videos and pictures 180°.
This feature is needed when the DroneView camera is used independently of the
Dromida XL with a separate R/C receiver and is mounted on top of a surface
rather than underneath like on the Dromida XL.
If you made any changes in the settings menu then you will be prompted to save
when exiting the settings menu. If you select NO when prompted to save then
the changes will be discarded. iOS Only - If you change the WiFi name then you
will need to exit the DroneView app and select the newly named network in the
WiFi setting options of your device.
USING TWO DEVICES SIMULTANEOUSLY
The DroneView camera can be connected with up to two devices simultaneously.
Two devices will have the ability to connect to the DroneView WiFi network and
share the FPV feed from the camera. Both devices will also be able to take pictures
and start/stop video recording.
NOTE: Exporting can only be done with one device at a time. Attempting to
export files simultaneously from a DroneView camera to two devices may cause
the transfer to freeze.
TROUBLESHOOTING
FLYING PROBLEMS
PROBLEM: The Dromida XL will not respond to the controller.
SOLUTION: (1) Charge or change the battery in the Dromida XL. (2) Turn off the
controller and disconnect the battery for the Dromida XL. Re-link the
Dromida XL and controller.
PROBLEM: Red controller LED light flashing after linking.
SOLUTION: Replace with new AAA batteries.
PROBLEM: Unable to flip.
SOLUTION: Battery voltage too low.
PROBLEM: Stabilization not working properly.
SOLUTION: (1) Battery voltage low. (2) Re-link. (3) Recalibrate the sensors.
PROBLEM: Will not take off.
SOLUTION: Rotor blades incorrectly installed. See Blade Replacement section.
SOLUTION: A motor may be defective. Look for a motor spinning slower than the
others. Replace as necessary.
PROBLEM: Dromida XL is shaking.
SOLUTION:
Check the canopy, chassis, motors and rotor blades for damage.
PROBLEM: The balance charger charge status LED blinks when attempting to
charge the battery.
SOLUTION: The battery voltage is too low to charge. The battery voltage may
recover on its own with time in order to be safely charged. Wait 1
hour and try charging again. If the charger LED still blinks then you
may need to replace the battery.
PROBLEM: The Dromida XL does not maintain altitude when the throttle stick
is in the center position.
SOLUTION: Recalibrate the sensors.

PROBLEM: The video button on the controller does not work or works intermittently.
SOLUTION: The video button must be pressed and quickly released. The controller
will beep when the button works properly.

If using both the app and the video button to control video recording,
you may need to press the video button a second time in some
instances to get the correct start or stop command.
PROBLEM: The WiFi connection is lost during flight.
SOLUTION: There may be interference in the area. Try flying in a different location.
SOLUTION: You are exceeding the WiFi range of the DroneView camera. Maintain
a closer proximity to your device during flight.
