TIPS: Short click the button on the battery to roughly estimate the power level. High Payload Introduction Various payload types can be attached to the H850 drone for different purposes. The following chapter will introduce some typical payloads of choice.
Visible light Camera E90X Yuneec’s E90X camera is a one-inch CMOS sensor to capture high-quality images with 4k 10 bit in-camera colour processing. Images may be captured in JPEG or DNG format, or simultaneous capture of both formats. Video may be recorded in UHD, 2K, or HD resolutions at a variety of frame rates.
Page 8
Digital Zoom function for E90x Yuneec camera E90x is capable of digital zoom. A digital zoom is an ideal tool for many types of inspection, or getting a closer view of objects further than the camera is able to originally see.
Thermal imaging camera ETx/E10Tx/E10Tvx/E20Tvx These series are an innovative combination of 3-axis gimbals, thermal imaging cameras and lo cameras. While the thermal imaging camera selectively measures the temperature in the image, enabling it to display relative temperature differences, the low-light RGB camera has a 20 times higher sensitivity than the human eye.
Page 10
Zoom function for E30Zx Zoom in Press and hold the Zoom-in button to increase the optical zoom. When increasing to 30X optical zoom, if the Zoom-in button is pressed again, the camera begins to increase digital zoom. The digital zoom can increase to a maximum of 6X..

The quick start guide does not replace the operator manual. Press and hold the Power Button on the T1 to power On/Off Press and hold the Power button on H850 drone to power On/Off Notice: Always Power on the T1 before powering on the UAS.
Calibrating the Compass In the following situations recalibrating the Compass is suggested for flight safety: 1. Before the first flight, when you take the drone out of the box; 2. When feeling the drone is drifting after a long-distance flight; 3.
Page 14
Step 3: Calibrating Follow the onscreen display and instructions. During Compass calibration, the H850 will need to rotate along the specific axis which is shown by the LED of each Motor Arm, until a tone is heard to change to the next axis. Repeat this procedure for all six positions. A yellow box with a red arrow indicates the rotation axis, which is calibrating.
CORS Network Binding: The Network CORS and RTK GPS have been disabled by the default setting. The H850 Drone will be positioned and navigated by using single GPS technology. The RTCM Source was disabled by default under the GNSS RTK item.
Page 16
Step 2: Tap the Settings icon, then tap Vehicle. Select the RTK GPS and tick the Enable RTK GPS box, then restart the drone. Step 3: Tap the Settings icon then tap GNSS RTK. Select NTRIP as the RTCM source, then tick Auto Reconnect.
Step 4: Fill the following NTRIP Stream Settings parameters according to your CORS Network. Notice: You must fill out the Required Tagging Form. Step 5: Tap Apply button to finish the connection process. Notice: When connected to the CORS Network has been successful, the Connection Status display will display a green “Connected”.
Take OFF Unfold the propellers manually before starting the motors. The drone has 4 different basic flight modes we suggest placing the flight switch in the middle position to use the Angel mode to take off.

Orbit Flight After the drone has taken off with GPS Lock the operator can command the drone to fly to orbit a specific point on the map by tapping the map directly. Tap the “Orbit at location” point then the tapped point will be marked on the map as the orbit centre point.
ROI Flight After the drone has taken off with GPS Lock the operator , can command the gimbal towards a specific point of interest on the map by directly tapping the map Select the “ROI at location”, then slide to confirm the tapped point will be marked on the map as the ROI point.
Landing Slowly lower the throttle/altitude joystick below the centre position, H850 will descend slowly and land. After the drone lands, the motors will stop after 2 seconds without any operation. Mode 2 Shown Emergency Motor Stop The s operator can force stop the motors by the following operation in the emergency situation such as the blades could hit the people and cause serious injury.
The pilot can follow the steps below if rebinding is needed. Step 1: Power on the H850 Drone. Wait a few seconds for all systems to boot up. Step 2: After initialisation completes, use a paperclip or similar item to push the bind button inside the hole as shown the picture.
Page 27
Step 3: Power on the T1 Transmitter and tap the USYNC Button to bind. Step 4: Tap the Next Button to start the binding process.
