- ① The wind resistance data is obtained in the standard wind tunnel laboratory under hovering conditions.
- ② The maximum flight speed is determined by the actual flight environment. This speed listed here is the maximum flight speed in the optical flow positioning mode. The maximum flight speed in the APP control mode is 1.5 m/s. In programming mode, the recommended flight speed is 0.5 m/s~1 m/s.
- ③ The flight time is measured at a height of 2 m, with the lighting powered off, the low-power landing function disabled, and the drone hovering in windless conditions.
- ④ In the line patrol flight mode, the video resolution automatically switches to 360p/30 fps.
- ⑤ When the aircraft is used under low temperature conditions (< 5°C), the battery life is reduced to a normal phenomenon due to insufficient battery activity. It is recommended that the low-power landing function can be turned off for use under familiar conditions of lithium battery performance.
- ⑥ In patrol flight mode, the video resolution is automatically switched to 360p/30fps.
Hula noise measurement (Normalized to 1 m from drone) schedule:
| Observation | Hover | Moving 1 m/s |
| Ground (vertically below) | 71.1dB（A） | 75.2dB（A） |
| Side (contour plane) | 70.2dB（A） | 76.2dB（A） |
| Note: The test environment was a full anechoic chamber. | ||
The above data is measured in a standard experimental environment, and may vary with the change of environment or firmware! The right of final interpretation belongs to Shenzhen HighGreat Innovation Technology Development Co., Ltd.
