Flight Mode

GPS Mode

To achieve precise hovering, the drone is equipped with a GPS module.

The intelligent flight function works in GPS mode. Users can enable Sport

Mode or Beginner Mode in the flight settings. When the Beginner Mode is

on, the flight speed, flight distance, flight altitude and RTH altitude will be

limited. In sport mode, the maximum flight speed is 18m/s(65 km/h), the

maximum ascending speed is 5m/s(18 km/h), and the maximum descending

speed is 4m/s(14 km/h).

VPU Mode

An Optical Flow module is also built into the drone for precise hovering and

landing at the home point. In VPU mode, the Intelligent flight function is

not supported. The maximum flight speed is 10m/s(36 km/h), the maximum

ascend speed is 3m/s(11 km/h), and the maximum descending speed is

2m/s (7 km/h). When the drone is flying above a well-lit ground with a clear

texture and the GPS signal is poor, it will switch automatically to VPU mode.

ATTI Mode

When the GPS signal is poor or the compass has interference, the drone

enters in ATTI mode. In this mode, the drone can start drifting horizontally

and intelligent flight mode is not supported. Therefore, in case of any accidents,

we recommend flying in an open area with good GPS signal reception. Once

the drone enters in ATTI mode, please land in a safe place as soon as possible.

Ready to fly / in flight

• At altitudes above 2400 meters, the sport mode will be deactivated.

• When flying in sport mode, the visual system will not function, and the drone will be

unable to brake or avoid obstacles actively.

• When flying in sport mode, the drone's speed will be significantly increased compared

to normal mode, resulting in a corresponding increase in braking distance.

• When flying in windless environment, users should reserve a minimum braking distance

of at least 40 meters to ensure flight safety. During ascent or descent, users should

reserve a minimum braking distance of at least 10 meters to ensure flight safety.

Safety Protection

Failsafe Return

Fimi Navi 3.0 allows setting the behavior of the drone when the remote control

signal is interrupted to return, land, or hover. When set to return, if the GNSS

signal is strong, the compass is functioning properly, and the return point is

successfully recorded, the drone will be deemed disconnected if the signal

between the drone and the remote control is interrupted for 2 seconds or more.

The drone will then initiate a return flight in the event of disconnection. The

flight control system will take over control of the drone and reference the

original flight path to plan the return route, guiding the drone back to its takeoff

point. If the connection between the drone and the remote control is restored

during the return flight, the option to cancel the disconnected return will be

available, and control of the drone will be handed back.

Hovering on the Edge of No-fly-zone

The drone will automatically hover in the restricted flight area designated by

the state, such as the edge of airports, and the App will appear corresponding

hints. The user can use sticks to fly the drone from the edge of the no-fly-zone,

but the drone will not enter the no-fly-zone.

Low-power Protection

In flight, when the battery level is only enough for RTH, App advises users

to return, and the drone will return automatically after 10 seconds countdown.

When the battery level is only enough for landing, App advises users to land

as soon as possible, and the drone will land automatically after 10 seconds

countdown. When the battery level is at 15% usage left, the drone will be

forced to land.

Intelligent Low Battery Return

When the intelligent flight battery of the drone is critically low and there is not

enough power for a return, the user should promptly land the drone. Otherwise,

if the battery is completely depleted, the drone will descend rapidly, leading to

potential damage or other hazards.To prevent unnecessary risks due to

insufficient battery power, the FIMI X8 Pro utilizes information such as flight

location, surrounding environment, and real-time wind speed to intelligently

determine if the current battery level is sufficient. If the battery level is only

enough to complete the return journey, Fimi Navi 3.0 will prompt the user

whether to initiate the return process. During the return process, pressing the

intelligent return button on the remote control can cancel the return.If the user

cancels the low battery return warning and continues flying, it may result in

insufficient battery power during the return process, leading to a forced landing

and potential loss or crash of the drone.

• Inadequate positioning service (such as poor GNSS signal or GNSS failure) may result

in the inability to perform a normal return-to-home.

• Before takeoff, it is necessary to enter the safety settings interface of Fimi Navi 3.0 and

set an appropriate return-to-home altitude (default is 30m).

• During the return-to-home process, if the environmental conditions, such as low light,

do not meet the requirements of the visual system, the drone will be unable to avoid

obstacles.

• No-fly zones will affect automatic return-to-home and may result in the inability to

complete an automatic return-to-home. Please avoid flying near no-fly zones.

• Strong winds may prevent the drone from successfully returning home. Exercise caution

when flying in such conditions.

• Always be aware of small objects (such as tree branches or power lines) or transparent

objects (such as glass or water surfaces) along the return-to-home path.

• In case of an emergency, stop the return-to-home process and manually control the

drone.

The FIMI X8 Pro is equipped with front, rear, and bottom binocular vision systems

aswell as a bottom infrared sensing system, providing the drone with

environmental perception and positioning capabilities. The front, rear, and

bottom binocular vision systems are located at the front, rear, and bottom of

the drone, respectively, and each consists of two cameras. The visual systems

use image ranging to perceive environmental obstacles. The bottom infrared

sensing system consists of an infrared sensor module (transmitter and receiver).

The infrared sensor provides the drone with a reference for ground height,

working in conjunction with the downward visual systemto calculate the drone's

position information.

Calibration:

The automatic calibration of the visual system is already completed during

the factory assembly, and it can function properly. During the flight, if the

system detects any abnormalities in the calibration parameters, the drone

will attempt to perform an automatic calibration. At this time, the FIMI Navi 3.0

App will display relevant prompts. No manual intervention is required from the

user during the automatic calibration process, and normal operation is sufficient.

If the automatic calibration fails, it will prompt for advanced calibration.

Usage Scenarios

The positioning function of the downward vision system is suitable for

environments with no or poor GNSS signal and is automatically turned on in

normal or smooth mode. The forward and backward vision systems are

automatically turned on in normal or smooth mode ( need to select obstacle

avoidance behavior as go around or brake stop in FIMI Navi 3.0 App). The

forward and backward vision systems are suitable for well-lit environments,

and the texture of obstacles encountered in the flight path must not be

particularly sparse. In addition, due to inertia, the drone needs to be controlled

to brake within an effective distance.

Please make sure to pay attention to the flight environment. The vision system

and infrared sensing system only play a supplementary role under limited

conditions and cannot replace human judgment and control. Users should

always pay attention to the surrounding environment and FIMI Navi 3.0 related

warnings during the flight, maintain control of the drone and be responsible for

the control behavior. The user should be aware of the surroundings and FIMI

Navi 3.0 related warnings at all times during the flight, maintain control of the

drone and take responsibility for the control. When using the downsight vision

system in an open and flat field without GNSS, the optimal operating altitude

range of the vision positioning system is 0.5 - 8 m. When flying beyond this

range, the vision positioning performance may be degraded, so please fly

with caution.

The downward vision system may not work properly on the water surface.

Therefore, when the landing function is triggered, the drone may not be able

to actively avoid the lower water. Users are advised to maintain full control of

the flight and make reasonable judgments based on the surrounding environment

without over-relying on the vision system. The vision system cannot recognize

surfaces without textural features and cannot operate properly in environments

with insufficient or excessive light intensity.

The vision system does not work properly in the following scenes:

a) Solid-colored surfaces ( such as solid black, solid white, solid red, solid green).

b) Surfaces with strong reflections or reflections ( such as ice).

c) Surface of water or transparent objects.

d) surfaces with moving objects ( such as above foot traffic, above bushes or

grass blown by high winds)

e) Scenarios with intense and rapid changes in lighting conditions.

j) Tiny obstacles (such as tree branches, wires, etc.).

Do not obscure or interfere with the visual system in any way, and make sure

the lens is clear and free of smudges. Avoid flying in rainy and foggy weather

or in other scenes with low visibility (visibility below 80m). Before takeoff, please

check the surface glass of the IR sensing system and the vision system:

a) Remove the surface film, stickers and other obscuring items.

b) If there are water drops, fingerprints, dirt, etc., please wipe it clean first (please

use dust-free cloth).

c) If there are drops, broken, scratches, abrasion, etc. on the surface, please return

it to the factory for repair.
