FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions.
HOW HIGH CAN MY F550-IR FLY?
You can fly your F550-IR up to approximately 300 m. Baring in mind that the flight up takes 6m/s and the descent 2m/s. At higher altitudes, the air gets thinner, which will make control more difficult. Please note that flying above that height will bring you into airspace with manned aviation such as helicopters and planes, and can be highly dangerous. However, depending on the type of application, there are different ideal altitudes: for Land Survey flights 50 meters or slightly above is enough; for Thermographic Inspection of Photovoltaic Panels Systems, a flight between 25 and 50 meters in altitude is ideal.
HOW FAST DOES IT FLY?
It is capable of flying at a maximum speed of approximately 5m/s. The ideal speed however, depends on the type of application we use the drone for. In Photogrammetry, for example, the target is always clear and sharp footage. Theoretically the higher you fly, the faster you can go without blurry images. If you fly too near to your relief object at a high speed, there is the risk of blurry footage, which will negatively affect the quality of your Survey.
HOW LONG CAN A F550-IR FLY?
When flying in good weather conditions at a speed of approximately 5m/s the battery life is of about 18/20 mins. The battery can be changed very quickly and easily thanks to the new integrated battery compartment. It is advisable to have one or two extra batteries for vast Survey areas.
HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN IT LIFT?
The F550-IR is designed to be capable of carrying up a total of about 2 kilos of payload (like an action camera setup). This ready-to-fly set up has been specifically designed for immediate and efficient use. It has been tested for maximum stability and highest performance. Adding extra weight reduces flight time, stability and general efficiency.
DOES IT WORK WITH ANDROID TABLETS AND PHONES?
YES. The Android software works with any device that has GPS and that can support an OTG cable and has 4.0 Android System or above. Android recommended: Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2, Note 3 or phones of similar configuration. Read the article ►
CAN I USE IT WITH MY iOS™ DEVICE (IPHONE AND IPAD)?
Absolutely YES. iOS recommended: iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPod touch 5 (available but not recommended: iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini). Read the article ►
WHAT IS THE "Return Home" Feature?
The F550-IR Drone flies back to take off position in case of loss of control. The flight radar displays the current position of the F550-IR in relation to the pilot. Exceeding the control range of the remote control will trigger ‘Return-to-Home’, that is if connection between the drone and the pilot is lost the F550-IR will automatically fly back to its takeoff point and land safely.
HOW MUCH WIND CAN IT FLY IN?
Flying a device this small in heavy wind conditions is always going to be a challenge. The F550-IR with GPS enabled are designed to stay in place and they will do their best to maintain a set position. In our experience, we have been able to fly in winds of up to 15 km per hour without significant degradation of control. If there is a considerable amount of wind, it will put a heavier stress and load on the motors and batteries and your flight time will most likely be adversely affected. Read the article ►
