1. The Spry+ fuselage and remote controller are waterproof and suitable for all-weather,
all-terrain cruising.
2. The aerodynamic shape of the whole drone is designed to effectively minimize wind
resistance and improve flight speed.
3. Spry+'s camera uses a Sony 1 / 2.3 inch CMOS sensor matched to a lens that minimizes
fisheye distortion to obtain natural-looking scenes. Use your Spry+ to record stunning 4K
videos at 30 frames per second or take high-definition 12MP photos.
4. Adjustable lens angle: The Spry+’s camera can be tilted up and down with the remote
controller to frame your videos better.
5. Optional electronic stabilization system helps ensure smoother footage.
6. The Spry+ 4K waterproof camera is sealed in an optical glass dome to protect the camera
lens from damage. The specially designed dome has high transparency without distortion and
also helps avoid excessive glare.
7. Intelligent Follow Me: The Spry+ uses a built-in motion algorithm to follow the position of the
remote controller. The follow me functions supports leading or following camera positions.
8. Target orbit: the Spry+ can perform an autonomous orbit around a moving object.
9. Auto return: The Spry+ constantly monitors the location of the remote controller so that it can
return to the last-known position of the pilot in case of radio interference or a return-home
command.
10. APP smart control: One Key Take Off | Point to Fly | Orbit Fly | Auto Return | Flight Path
Settings
11. Compact, portable and easy to use.
Spry+ is the first-ever compact & portable waterproof sports drone. Its fully waterproof fuselage
and built-in camera helps you capture photos and 4K/30fps video in all weather conditions. The
competitive power system allows you to experience high-speed flight over water - enjoying true
freedom. This section introduces the various drone functions, how to assemble the drone, the
various part names of the drone, and its remote controller.

Before powering on the controller, please be sure to put all the toggle switches on the controller in the up
position.
Note: The default remote control configuration uses a left hand throttle. If you prefer to have right hand throttle,
please consult your local dealer.

of flight
As the remote controller is completely sealed, the air inside is subject to changes in pressure and temperature.
If the rubber joystick seals balloon or suck in, simply equalize the pressure inside the remote by briefly
opening the USB charge plug.

The Spry+ utilizes a brand new flight control system which incorporates 6 of the best flight modes.
GPS mode: This mode uses the GPS module to achieve accurate and stabilized hovering, braking, intelligent
flight, intelligent return and other intelligent flight mode functions. In this mode, maximum flight speed is
10m/s, maximum ascent speed is 3m/s, and maximum descent speed is 3m/s.
Circle mode: The drone moves 10m from its current location and begins to circle with a radius of 10m with
the nose always facing the origin. During circling, the right-hand joystick controls the speed and size of the
orbit. Push up to increase the radius of the orbit, push down to reduce the radius of the circle (minimum
radius 10m), push the joystick left to speed up the orbit or push it right to slow down the orbit. If you
continue to reduce the orbit speed, the drone will change the direction of orbit and start to increase the
orbit speed again.

ATTI mode: This is a more advanced flight mode which does not use the GPS positioning function but still
maintains altitude stabilization. The drone will drift with any wind when hovering and will not brake when
the joysticks are released.
Follow Me: The remote controller has an inbuilt GPS module, and the Follow Me mode is based on the
relative position of this GPS module to the drone. The maximum Follow Me speed is 10 m/s (36 KM/H).
Auto-Return: The aircraft has a one-key return function as well as an auto-return if radio contact with the
remote controller is lost. When the remote control and GPS signal are good, the aircraft can be commanded
to automatically return to the current remote control position.
Circle & Follow Mode: Specifically designed for shooting moving objects, this mode is ideal for taking
pictures of moving boats. There are 2 ways to activate this mode: 1. enter the Circle mode, then push the
Follow Me button; 2. enter the Follow Me mode, then flick the mode stick. Working mode: When the aircraft
switch from Circle mode to Circle & Follow me mode, the aircraft will slowly circle the remote control with a
radius of 10 meters; when the aircraft switches from the Follow me mode to Circle & Follow me mode, the
drone will fly to a radius of 10 meters and start to circle. It is recommended the Follow Me speed is under 2
m / s, beyond this speed, it is possible to lose the aircraft.
In the GPS mode, the drone will not arm unless there are sufficient satellites to establish the home
point. This point is used if the drone cannot establish the location of the remote controller.
In ATTI mode, the drone’s top speed is faster than in GPS mode. When flying in a calm environment, the
pilot should allow a minimum of 30 meters of braking distance to ensure flight safety.
Flying in Atti mode requires more skill and caution. If you lose control of the drone in ATTI mode,
switching to GPS mode can help stabilize flight as long as there is sufficient GPS coverage.
In Follow Me mode, the joysticks are disabled. Press and hold the Follow Me button again to cancel
Follow Me - the Controller Status Light will flash red confirming Follow Me mode has been cancelled
and joystick function has been restored.
If the GPS module in the remote controller does not have an accurate fix, the controller status light will
flash red, Follow Me cannot be started.

SPRY+ has two Return Home modes: Manual Return and Out-of-Range Return.
Manual Return: When you activate return function of the Spry+, it will return to the remote controller. When
returning to the remote control 30 meters away, the aircraft will record the coordinates of the remote control
as the final return point. At this point, users can leave this location and let the aircraft land. (During the return
flight, if you operate the joystick, the aircraft will stop returning. If you stop operating the joystick, the aircraft
continues to return）
Out-of-Range Return: If the drone loses contact with the remote control for any reason, the aircraft will
execute an automatic return to the last-known position of the remote control. During the return flight, if the
aircraft is reconnected to the remote control signal, the automatic return will be cancelled and the Spry+ will
await instructions from the remote controller.
Return Home
Operation
DescriptionIllustration
Press and hold the Return Home switch for 2 seconds, the system will
beep and start the return process. At this point, the aircraft will
auto-return to the remote controller . “RTH” is displayed in the upper
right corner of the remote control screen.
To cancel the Return Home process, press and hold the Return Home
switch for 2 seconds, the system will beep and cancel the return process
after both joysticks have been moved.
Regardless of the vertical height, if the horizontal distance is <20 meters,
the drone will maintain its height and return.
Vertical height < 30metres and horizontal distance > 20metres, the
drone will ascend up to 30metres, and then return.

Return Home
Regardless of the vertical height, if the horizontal distance is <20 meters, the drone will maintain its
height and return.
During automatic Return Home, when the remote control signal is restored, switch the Flight Mode
briefly between GPS and ATTI mode and move the right joystick to take control of the drone and
cancel automatic return.
