RED5 Motion Controlled Drone

Product Information

Menkind Super Tip No. 4: The drone doesn't have to be up in the air flying to adjust the trim. As long as the controller is still connected to the drone (synced) then you can adjust the trim settings. This is really handy to know if the drone needs a lot of trimming. Simply land the drone, make your adjustments, then take off again to see if it's more stable. Rinse and repeat until you are happy you have the control. If your command has worked, the drone lights should no longer flash and you should have heard a satisfying beep! You've just synced! If you have just replaced your blades, be careful you haven't put your brand spanking new ones on too firmly, as this can stop the motors spinning freely (or even at all). Try raising them slightly up their spindes as this could give more room to rotate. Wise man once say, "to fly a drone, you must hover before you can fly." It's probably going to take you a few attempts just to get the drone off the ground, but these next tips should help. RED 5 drone comes with the 280 mAh Li-Po battery which takes around 30 minutes to fully recharge. It offers the flying time of 5-8 minutes which is not bad for an entry-level drone. The remote requires the 3 x AAA Batteries which you will need to buy separately. Red 5 Drone Review – Conclusion

Drones for beginners

Blades not spinning? You might not believe this, but one of the most common reasons for a rotor not spinning is trapped hair! If you have a family pet (or just a particularly hairy family member!) you might find that over time hair can become trapped around the motor, which prevents it from spinning. Most blades pop off very easily so it's a super easy problem to fix. Some drones come with little u-wrenches to help pop them off. The Motion Control Drone is so incredibly easy to use, that we actually struggled to crash it! So if you are all about the newest technology, then this innovative flyer is a perfect gift from you to you. Or to someone else if you’re feeling especially kind.

The first thing you need to do is sync the drone with the controller (we're assuming you know how to put batteries in, right?). This can differ from drone to drone, but it's normally the following procedure: Auto take-off and land: Ordinarily, getting a drone up in the air or getting it to land safely can be harder than getting up on a rainy Monday morning. Too much or too little power and it can end in disaster. But, with the Motion Drone, it’s a breeze. Simply press the button on the side of the remote and up it goes. Press it again and watch it land without a hitch. RED 5 Drone comes with the hand-held gesture controller which you will need to control your RED 5. You can use the hand gestures to control the direction of your drone and fly it. Overall, Motion Gestures are great for the entry-level drone. Headless Mode Let’s face it, there haven’t been any properly-recorded UFO crashes in history, so they must be pretty easy to fly. That, or they're full of awesome technology that helps keep them in the air! We’re not sure, because we’ve never asked an alien. But, we can confirm that this Earth-made RED5 Motion Control UFO is both easy to fly and loaded with out-of-this-world tech!Controlling this UFO drone is super-easy, even if flying drones is alien to you. It uses a controller that senses your hand motions, letting them control the drone. And, so that it stays stable in the sky, it has 6-axis gyro control and ‘headless mode’, which means that any side of the drone can work as the nose, relative to where you are standing (so forward on the remote is always forward for the drone).
