Remote Controller (Mode 2) Aircraft ( indicates nose direction) Remarks Moving the left stick up and down changes the aircraft’s elevation. Push the stick up to ascend and down to descend. Push the throttle stick up to takeoff. When both sticks are centered, the M100 will hover in place. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the M100 will change elevation. Always push the stick gently to prevent sudden and unexpected elevation changes.
Flight Mode Switch Toggle the switch to select the desired flight mode. You may choose between; P mode, F mode and A mode. Figure Flight Mode Ｆ F mode Ａ A mode Ｐ P mode P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are two different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the M100 depending on GPS signal strength: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.
Optimal Transmission Range The signal transmission between aircraft and remote controller perform best within the range that displayed in the picture shown below: Ensure the aircraft is flying within the optimal transmission range. Adjust the distance and position between the operator and the aircraft to achieve optimal transmission performance. Remote Controller Status LED The Status LED reflects connection status between Remote Controller and aircraft.

DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. 1. Ensure the compass is calibrated.
If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a different location to carry out compass calibration. Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch DJI Pilot App, follow the on-screen instruction to calibrate the compass. When to Recalibrate 1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow. 2. When flying in a new location, or a location that is different from your last flight. 3.
Stopping Motors There are two methods to stop the motors. Method 1: When the M100 has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. The motors will stop after 3 seconds. Do not perform CSC when aircraft is in midair, otherwise the motors will be stopped. Flight Test Take off/Landing Procedures 1.

DJI ZENMUSE X3 Gimbal with Camera Camera Profile The on-board camera supports 4K video capture up to 4096x2160p24 and 12M pixel photos capture by using the 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor. You may export the video in either MOV or MP4 format for editing. Available picture shooting modes include burst, continuous, and timer mode. A live preview of what the camera is seeing before you shoot videos and pictures is supported through the DJI Pilot App.
Gimbal Gimbal Profile The 3-axis Gimbal provides a steady platform for the attached camera, allowing you to capture stabilized images and video. The Gimbal can tilt the camera up to 120 degrees and rotate 360 degrees. Use the gimbal dial on the remote controller to control pitch movement of the camera by default. Note that you cannot control the pan motion of the camera by default.
Using DJI Pilot App to Control Gimbal Follow the steps below to use DJI Pilot app to control the gimbal orientation: 1. Launch DJI Pilot app, enter “Camera” page. 2. Tap and press on the screen until a blue circle is shown. 3. Slide to control the gimbal orientation within the “Camera” page as shown below. Gimbal Operation Modes Three Gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes on the Camera page of the DJI Pilot App.
The angle between Gimbal’s orientation and aircraft’s nose remains Follow Mode constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. FPV Mode The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a First-Person-View flying experience. The Gimbal’s motion is independent of the aircraft’s orientation.
