Walkera TALI H500 Quick Start Manual

Installing the Propellers

1.1 Unpack the propellers, there are two kind 1.2 Match the arrows on the propellers to the
right-hand and left hand rotation, the rotation arrows on the arm next to each motor. Screw
is identified with arrows on the prop, and also each propeller onto the motor, secure by hand,
with the colored prop-top. You need 3 of each kind. no need for tools.
*We recommend balancing the propellers.
Check online for balancing instructions.

The Landing gear is shipped in the retracted position. DO NOT try to extend the landing gear by pulling on it.
We will deploy the landing-gear the first time the system is powered, please follow these instructions carefully.
2.1 Install the fully charged battery 2.2 Turn TALI on its back. The belly and the

* The Landing gear will now unfold automatically. * This process is called "ID binding"
* In the beginning of this process the light in the
arms flast red-green, this means the system is binding.

Compass Calibration

IMPORTANT: Make sure all TRIMs are in the center position, the trim value should be "0", and that the motors are locked.
The aircraft should NOT be flashing RED-GREEN. By default, the motors will automatically be locked after the ID binding process.
For more details about locking and unlocking motors, see points 6 & 7.

The aircraft will start a blinking fast RED-GREEN (0 / 90 / 180 / 270 / 360)

IMPORTANT: The first couple of flights, you may expereince the aircraft drifting,
This is normal, please continue to fly the aircraft manually, while the system inprove the calibration,
after 5-10 minutes land, lock the motors, this will save the improved settings.
Notice: The slight drifting may continue for a couple of batteries, you will notice significant improvement in the GPShold & stability after 4-5 batteries.
Notice: Always perform the calibration away from eletric fields and metal surfaces.
Trivia: Different brands have different calibration processes, the process is typically refered to as "the Calibration Dance".

G-3D 3-axis brushless Gimbal installation

IMPORTANT: REMOVE the battery from the H500 while you install the gimbal
The gimbal is a high-performance eletromechanical design and should be handled with great care. AVOID using force when installing.
4.1 Unpack the G-3D gimbal, 4.2 Put the rubber washer on the threaded hole on
prepare the gimbal, the mounting the bottom of the H500, use the M3x8mm and
rail, rubber washer, screws and spring M3x10mm screws to install the gimbal "mounting
loaded screw. block" also refered to as the quick mount rail.
4.4 Install the springloaded 4.5 Connect the 9pin white data cable to the "complex
M3x12mm "finger screw" at the front data port" on the bottom of the TALI, then connect the
of the gimbal, this will secure the gimbal. cable to the back of the G-3D gimbal.
1.3 After installing the props, check each
propeller carefully.
Before EACH flight, Inspect propellers
for damage.
2.3 On the DEVO F12E, move ALL
switches to the "0" position, and move
the throttle to the lowest position.
Then turn on the DEVO F12E power.
2.6 After the successful binding
place the aircraft on a stable surface.
3.3 CLOCKWISE rotation Rotate the
aircraft around the roll axis rotate smoothly
in 90 deg increments. Pausing 1 second
for each 90 deg. (0 / 90 / 180 / 270 / 360)
Head vertical down
3.6 Place the aircraft in normal position
The rapid RED-GREEN blinking will stop
This indicate that the calibration is finished
Disconnect the battery to save the settings.
4.3 Slide the gimbal unto the quik mount
rail, the gimbal shouldslide from the front
of the aircraft towards the rear, gently
move it as far back as possible.
4.6 Make sure the gimbal move freely
in all directions. The G-3D gimbal is
now successfully installed.

5 Installing the iLook+ 1080p camera with 5.8ghz video link
IMPORTANT: NEVER POWER the iLook+ camera without the antenna installed.
Powering a video transmitter may cause damage to the transmitter.

5.3 Position the camera into the gimbal
"tray", then secure the camera by
positioning the mounting bracket over
the camera, use the two M2x4mm
screws to secure the mounting bracket.
* There is a cutout on the mounting
bracket, this will fit around the lens.
** It is also possible to install a GoPro3
camera in this gimbal. IF you install a
GoPro, unscrew and remove the motor
cover on the pitch motor, this will adjust
the balance of the gimbal for the GoPro.
*** Use the switch on the end of the
iLook+ camera to select between
STILL and 1080p video.
**** You can change the video link
