RCPRO PRO26 FPV Folding Drone-FAQs
What makes an FPV drone faster?
The speed and agility of an FPV drone depend on components like motor size, KV rating, and overall efficiency. Choosing the right combination allows you to optimize for performance, endurance, and control based on your flying needs.
How do I turn off the RCPRO PRO26 drone?
To power off the drone, press the Power button once, then press and hold it for about one second until the drone shuts down.
How does FPV (First-Person View) work?
FPV technology allows you to see from the drone’s perspective through a live feed transmitted to FPV goggles or a screen. Advanced systems may use dual cameras or gimbal-controlled views for immersive flight experiences.
What is Air Mode in FPV flying?
Air Mode enables full PID control even at zero throttle, allowing for smooth gliding and better acrobatic maneuvering while maintaining stability.
How can I control the drone’s speed?
Speed is managed through the throttle on your controller, which increases power from the battery to the motors via the ESC (Electronic Speed Controller). More throttle means higher speed and lift.
How can I improve the FPV signal range?
To increase range, you can boost transmission power. Increasing output power by four times (or 6dB) can effectively double your FPV range.
Can I fly my FPV drone at night?
Yes, but exercise caution. Set your FPV camera to auto or black-and-white mode for better low-light visibility. Make sure you’re flying in a safe, open area with good orientation and awareness.
What is FPV Mode on a gimbal?
In FPV Mode, the gimbal follows the handle’s motion in all directions. It allows for creative camera angles, with pan, tilt, and roll axes tracking your movements for more dynamic video capture.
