THE NEW PARADIGM IN QUADCOPTER DESIGN

A game changer in aerial video and photography, Matrix is spawning a new era in 

super quadcopter designs. Sporting low profile architecture, its triple carbon fiber 

deck supports a generous 1000mm wingspan that's foldable down to fit inside an 

optional carry-on aluminum case for portability. No dismounting and remounting 

of propellers, landing skids or gimbal are required. Its larger & powerful motors, 

propellers and batteries offer up to 3 times the flight time and payload of a 

traditional quadcopter. Ideally positioned camera mount on the nose delivers 

wide-angle views unobstructed by propeller shadows, reflections and landing 

skids. And, with versatile battery positions to counter a variety of gimbal and 

camera payloads, Matrix's well-balanced center of gravity is key to superior video 

quality for a wide range of applications.

CULMINATION OF INNOVATION, EXPERIENCE & EXECUTION

Leapfrogging quadcopter records with ease, the sporty new Matrix is crushing all 

competitions with its super sized wingspan. Yet, it folds down nicely to fit in a 

professional aluminum case along with the transmitter radio. Matrix's super efficient 6-

cell system powers 4 muscular 42mm brushless motors driving 15" carbon fiber 

propellers for unparalleled lifting capacity and stability. Conceptualized by master FPV 

pilots, Matrix is a quadcopter designed for rather than adapted to carrying cameras. To 

satisfy an almost insurmountable list of high expectations, Turbo Ace engineers set out 

on a journey of innovation and discovery. Applying more than 85 years of combined 

helicopter and multi-rotor expertise between our master pilot group, engineers and 

designers, the Matrix represents an ultimate breakthrough in quadcopter engineering 

and optimization. To search for the ultimate mix of performance and durability, Turbo 
Ace developers matched up countless motors, ESCs and propellers combinations 

followed by series of unrelenting updates and test flights. From planning and 

implementing the best components on a foldable structure, setting and meeting new 

milestones in flight time and payload, to executing crucial requirements for flight and 

camera stabilization, the Turbo Ace Matrix is truly a quadcopter beyond its time.

UNPRECEDENTED PAYLOAD & FLIGHT TIME

Matrix's big breakthrough is a 25-minute flight time carrying the #1 selling GoPro Hero3 

stabilized on the ultra fast 2-axis brushless Gyrox3 gimbal. Cutting out the gimbal but 

keeping the Hero3 on a vibration isolation plate will extend Matrix flight time beyond the 

amazing 30min threshold. Despite many unrealistic claims, the closest competition 

offers less than half the flight time. At about 3 times the size of a mid-sized quadcopter, 

heavier payloads exert disproportionatelly less impact on Matrix flight time than smaller 

quadcopter flight time. Without exception, even the top selling mid-sized quadcopters 

with 8" to 10" propellers will max out at 5-6 minutes with Hero3 and gimbal onboard. It's 

common for both vendors and end users to exaggerate or manipulate payload and flight 

time by gutting critical components inside quadcopters and cameras.

IDEAL UNOBSTRUCTED AUTO-STABILIZED CAMERA/GIMBAL 

LOCATION

Tired of propellers and landing skids framing your video? The Matrix's nose offers an 

ideal location with unobstructed view - no propellers even in wide angle videos, no skid 

landing when pointed down and no more annoying propellers shadows on the lenses. 

Although these are nagging issues, there are even more crucial factors in achieving 

stability. Because traditionally mounted cameras are about 8 inches below the main 

hub, a quadcopter's roll causes the camera to swing like a pendulum. Although a good 

gimbal is able to compensate for the roll axis movement, it's unable to address the 

horizontal movement that causes a video to shift from side to side as if a skater is 

holding the camera. By moving the gimbal and camera up to the level of the propellers, 

the Matrix design has basically eliminated the pendulum effect. Last but not least, 

gimbals are only as stable as the foundation they are mounted on. Bypassing the weight 

and slack of unstable undermounted gimbal platforms, Matrix's gimbal is mounted 

directly on the main frame to prevent oscillation from surfacing.

TRIPLE CARBON FIBER DECK FOR COMPREHENSIVE & VERSATILE 

INTEGRATION

In housing and supporting an extensive list of stock and upgrade components on a 

super-scaled quadcopter, Matrix's triple decked carbon fiber structure is extremely 

strong and versatile. Four foldable arms which double as supporting beams are 

securely sandwiched between the lower decks along with multiple ventilated ESC 

positions. The middle deck houses and protects all critical electronic components such 

as the flight controller, the GPS, LED and other optional systems. Versatile Battery and 

ESC mounting positions allows the operator to shift CG (center of gravity) upward, 

downward, forward and backward to accommodate a wide variety of payloads and flight 

characteristics. Mount the battery below the lower deck for more stable flights or move 

the battery to the upper deck to increase maneuverability. And to counter balance 
different camera payloads, you can shift the battery, ESCs and arms into optimal 

positions for proper CG.

FOLDS AND FITS NEATLY INTO A CARRY-ON SIZED ALUMINUM CASE

No more awkward quadcopter with protruding arms and propellers to lug around. Unlike 

typical folding mechanisms, the Matrix's arms and landing skids are designed to lock 

into folded or operating positions so you don't have to sacrifice structural integrity for 

portability. Implementations of slotted tracks enable fast and secured transitions without 

the risk losing any hardware. For a day out in the park or a hiking trip, you can retract 

the arms and skids to reduce the footprint. And for traveling, foldable antenna enable 

the Matrix and the transmitter to slip comfortably into a professional aluminum case 

without dismounting the propellers and gimbal. Upon arrival at the flight location the 

operator can adjust the landing skid height to accommodate rougher terrain. An optional 

aluminum case even includes cutouts for transmitter, batteries, spare parts & tools. Who 

knows, you might have a trip planned for Europe and the very versatile Matrix can make 

a great companion as a carry-on.

DYNAMICALLY BALANCED MOTORS & OVER-SPECCED ESCS

For exceptionally smooth flights, Matrix super muscular 42mm brushless motors are 

dynamical balanced. Since brushless motors are hand wound, the mass center is 

usually not in alignment with the mechanical center. Using advanced electronic 

balancing instruments, our factory spins up each motor then make proper adjustment to 

bring the mass center into alignment. Then to control and power the motors, Matrix 40A 

ESCs feature advanced multi-rotor algorithms which offers better performance and 

reliability than generic helicopter algorithms. Over-specced to sustain unrestrained 

amperage in higher torque for acceleration, extreme maneuvers and bigger payloads, 

Matrix is engineered to operating below capacity, so mechanical and electronic 

components stay relatively cooler even with consecutive flights..

STIFFER & THICKER DOUBLE-POINT MOUNTED 15" CARBON 

PROPELLERS

No propellers are created equal. 15" Matrix robust carbon fiber propellers are sculpted 

with extra thick mid-section to resists flex then tapers to efficient blades to cut through 

the air with minimal resistance. Traditional circular mounts are accidents waiting to 

happen because the force of rotating propellers will eventually unscrew the crown nuts 

during flight. Integrated double point mounts on Matrix motors and propellers eliminate 

this possibility and at the same time improve tracking precision because the propellers 

are forced to sit flat against the top of the motors. Another benefit of a flat mount is that 

there are no vulnerable protruding motor shafts. Slight deviations in traditional circular 

mounting holes or protruding motor shafts are extremely difficult to detect which magnify 

pitch and tracking variances, a major cause of vibrations and unstable flights. Since 

end-users are often required to purchase and mount propellers, Matrix's new hassle 

free mounting configuration is implemented to prevent vibration issues from surfacing.

SELECTABLE MANUAL, ATTITUDE & GPS FLIGHT MODES

A 3-positioned switch is setup on Matrix' transmitter for pilot to select between 3 
different flight modes. (1) With Manual Flight Mode, the absence of Gyro assisted flight 

makes it very difficult for the Pilot to stabilize and maneuver the quadcopter. (2) For 3-

axis gyro auto-stabilized flight, the Attitude Flight Mode will automatically keep the 

Matrix in a leveled and sustainable flight thus enabling the pilot to focus on maneuvering 

the quadcopter. (3) Finally, the GPS Flight Mode is the most often used mode because 

it combines the benefit of 3-axis gyro auto-stabilized flight with 4 advanced GPS based 

functions described below.

GPS-LOCK & RETURN-TO-HOME

Under GPS Flight Mode, (1) one of the most utilized GPS based functions is the GPSLock function. Simply release the cyclic stick and allow it to spring to the middle of the 

control and the Matrix will be locked into a fixed GPS location (longitude-lock and 

latitude-lock) with a tolerance of 3 to 5 feet radius. Another similar function from the 

Matrix flight controller, the Barometric-Lock can be activated by moving the throttle stick 

to the middle of the control and the Matrix will be locked into a fixed elevation (altitudelock). A hands-free hover modes is established when the pilot activates both the GPSLock and the Barometric-Lock simultaneously and the flight controller takes over. Either 

lock may also be used independently to hover in a fixed GPS coordinate with pilot 

controlled elevation or the longitude/latitude. By relinquishing controls to these autohover modes, the pilot can better focus on monitoring the video and controlling the 

camera. (2) Another popular GPS function is the Return-to-Home feature, a 

preprogrammed failsafe function that's automatically triggered by lose of remote control 

signals. Upon activation, the quadcopter will hover in place for a couple of seconds 

before elevating to a preprogrammed height and return to the home position for an 

automated landing sequence.

GPS BASED COURSE-LOCK & HOME-LOCK

Under GPS Flight Mode, there is dedicated 3-positioned carefree mode switch set up to 

access (3) Course-Lock, a compass based carefree mode that remembers the initial 

take-off direction of the flight which is used to consistently orient the quadcopter. Under 

Course-Lock, the transmitter radio must remain in the initial take-off direction until it's 

reset or until the quadcopter lands. For example, with the transmitter pointed in the 

eastward direction, a quadcopter takes off in eastward heading orientation then turns 

towards a northward heading. Without Course-Lock, a transmitter cyclic (directional) 

stick moved up towards the east will cause the quadcopter to head northward. Under 

Course-Lock, a cyclic stick moved up towards the east will cause the quadcopter to 

head eastward which is consistent with the initial take-off direction. In fact, by keeping 

the transmitter pointed in the initial eastward take-off direction, the cyclic stick direction 

will always correspond to the direction of the quadcopter no matter how the heading has 

changed. At any time the pilot may reset the initial direction by flipping the Carefree 

Mode Switch in and out of Course-Lock. (4) Lastly, there is another similar carefree 

mode with a twist. Home-Lock, a home coordinate based carefree mode is very similar 

to Course-Lock. The difference is that Home-Lock uses the home location as the 

consistent tail-in orientation for the entire flight. While this allows the pilot to constantly 

turn and follow the quadcopter, the pilot should not move away from the home location.

And because GPS has a tolerance of 3-5 feet, Home-Lock is less precise than Course-
Lock. However, as the quadcopter gains more distance from the home position the 

precision improves dramatically. This is why Home-Lock will not and cannot be 

activated within a 30-feet circle from the home position. To use Home-Lock, the pilot 

usually maintains a tail-in orientation until the quadcopter is well beyond the 30-feet 

circle before assuming that Home-Lock has activated. At this point the pilot can 

constantly turn and point the transmitter at the quadcopter and the cyclic stick will 

always correspond directly to the quadcopter's direction. To bring the quadcopter back, 

the pilot simply pulls the cyclic towards himself - basically a manual controlled return-tohome function. Special caution is required when the quadcopter approaches the 30-feet 

circle because Home-Lock will automatically switch to Course-Lock. If the quadcopter 

enters the 30-feet circle from the initial take-off direction so that Home-Lock is equal to 

Course-Lock the pilot can assume that the quadcopter is under Course-Lock until the 

quadcopter lands. In summary, an experienced pilot uses the "Normal" flight mode 

because no help is required from GPS. Both Course-Lock & Home-Lock carefree flight 

modes enable the operator to pilot the quadcopter without keeping track of the 

quadcopter's tail position. This is especially useful if a less experienced pilot is rotating 

the quadcopter to pan the video. There is much less confusion for beginner pilots to 

stick with either "Normal" mode or use GPS assisted Course-Lock. Home-Lock is 

usually reserved for longer distance within-the-line-of-sight flight because it's a bit 

confusing to operate when it approaches the home position.

ULTRA DURABLE & MAINTENANCE FRIENDLY

All Matrix material and components are selected and built for reliability and durability. 

Premium carbon fiber is utilized in the main frame for its rigidity and light-weight 

properties. Wear resistant CNC aluminum is utilized in screw-mounted joints, brackets 

and posts. Tough Japanese bearings are implemented to guard against higher 

temperatures. Then for continued maintenance, Matrix is based on a modularized 

design with strategically placed high tensile strength connectors so it's extremely easy 

and cost effective to maintain and operate. With minimal disassembly, components can 

be independently removed and replaced to diagnose and repair problems. As with all 

Turbo Ace production models, well stocked Matrix parts and upgrades are 

manufactured in larger volumes and savings are passed on to end-users. Operators are 

encouraged to keep some backup parts such as spare propellers, screws and batteries 

for replacement. Complimentary Turbo Ace videos are available online to assist 

operators in maintaining and upgrading the Matrix.

EXPANDABILITY WITH OPEN ARCHITECTURE & UPDATABLE ONLINE 

FIRMWARE

Catering to research professionals and avid hobbyists, the Matrix welcomes a full 

spectrum of specialized modifications. An open architecture supports unparalleled 

flexibility for arm and frame extensions, variable motor mount options and ample space

CAMERAS

Aerial camera mounted under quadcopter serves two main purposes. (1) First and 

foremost, cameras are used for the purpose of recording videos or taking still 

photographs. Preferably, a DSLR camera is mounted on an auto-stabilized gyro based 

gimbal (camera mount) to stabilize the camera's horizon. (2) For more experienced 

pilots, a camera can be used for the purpose of piloting the quadcopter from the point of 

view of the camera aka FPV (first-person-view) piloting. If the camera is either mounted 

directly on the quadcopter without stabilization so the pilot can experience the tilt (pitch) 

& roll of the hexacopter. If the camera is auto-stabilized, OSD (on-screen-display) may 

be required to overlay artificial horizon and flight status on live feed video.

VIBRATION ISOLATION MOUNT & AUTO-STABILIZED CAMERA 

MOUNTS ON MATRIX

Employing vibration isolation mount for camera can significantly dampen high frequency 

vibrations to prevent rolling shutter & jello effects on videos. And for more professional 

applications, we can optionally add gyro based camera mounts to automatically stabilize 

cameras to accommodate quadcopter's tilt & roll movements to maintain a leveled video 

horizon. To control the camera's aim, a dial switch on the transmitter radio enables the 

pilot to tilt the camera up or down. With the freedom to maneuver and turn the 

quadcopter from different perspectives, heights and angles, one can achieve an endless 

variety of high quality shots and videos.

FPV Live Feed Video

Live feed video enables the pilot or cameraman to see real time videos from the 

camera's point of view which is synonymous to FPV (first-person-view). In contrast to 

slower and shorter distanced WiFi video streaming on cameras, aerial FPV requires 

much longer distance transmission without visible delay. A video transmitter is usually 

attached to a camera's video-out port transmits the video signals. A matching video 

receiver located next to the pilot or cameraman receives the video signal that is then 

plugged into a monitor's video-in port for displaying the video. There are 2 main 

purposes for aerial FPV. (1) To enable pilot/cameraman to see and frame videos or still 

shots by adjusting the gimbal and/or the quadcopters location and orientation. (2) To 

enable pilot to see and fly from the point of view of the camera (view from the cockpit). If 

a camera is hard mounted without auto-stabilization, the video will reflect the tilt (pitch) 

and roll of the quadcopter. If a camera is auto-stabilized on a gimbal, an OSD (onscreen-display) may be implemented to overlay artificial horizon and flight data on the 

auto-stabilized video that does not reflect the tilt and roll of hexacopter.

FPV From 600TVL Camera

STANDARD & LONG DISTANCE TRANSMITTERS FOR MATRIX

Due to safety and equipment concerns, transmitter reliability is crucial in professional 

quadcopter operations. Without an established standard of verification, it's common 

place for transmitter brands to overstate operating distance by discounting the 

importance of reliability. A typical transmitter spec for 2,000 feet range may only be 

reliable 80% of the time and you can easily lost your equipment in several flights at 300 

feet. Only extensive field testing over several months - not biased reviews based on 

several test flights - are true indicators of consistently reliable operating range.

TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER OPERATING REQUIREMENTS

Standard remote control transmitters and receivers utilized with the Matrix quadcopter 

operate under FCC Part 15 (S29DEVO-10, BRWDAMTX11, AZPT14SG-24G, 

S29TX5803) in either legal 2.4GHz and/or 5.8GHz frequencies. In general, advanced 

quadcopters require a minimum of 7 channels under the 2.4GHz frequency range: 4 

channels for piloting controls, 2 channels for the GPS and 1 channel for controlling the 

tilt-axis of the gimbal. Extended distance transmitters usually employ several methods 

to promote signal strength and reliability. (1) Frequency-hopping spread spectrum 

(FHSS) is a method of transmitting radio signals by rapidly switching between several 

frequencies to seek the least amount of traffic. (2) Dual paths diversity enable the 

signals to reach two receivers or antennas mounted in different locations on the 

quadcopter so the system can utilize the strongest signal path. Bi-directional 

communications between transmitter and receiver can also utilize feedback signal 

strength to traget the best frequencies in real time (3) In case of signal disruptions, 

algorithm for ultra fast signal recovery enables the transmitter and receiver to quickly 

rebind for uninterrupted operations. Products using permitted frequencies without 

certification will require an amateur radio (ham) license. It is the operator's 

responsibilities to ensure the use of such products meet their individual 

countries' federal and local government's rules or regulations for RF devices. If 

you are unsure of your government's requirement or unable to comply with them, 

please do not purchase this product. Please do not alter the purchased product in 

violation of said rules and regulations because Wow Hobbies cannot be held 

liable for operator's misuse or modification of a legal product.

INTEGRATION, SET UP, FLIGHT TEST & SHIPPING

There is a myriad of Matrix options to satisfying specific applications. After installation, 
setup and inspection, our technicians will complete final adjustments plus a series of 

test flights. If your orders is placed for pick-up, we will redo a live flight-test when you 

arrive at our showroom. If your order is to be shipped, a test flight video for your specific 

Matrix order will be recorded, saved and shipped with the instructions in a flash drive. 

Our Matrix packages are designed to retain all assembled components as a fully 

integrated system during shipping. To prevent damage, the Matrix quadcopter is 

suspended in the middle of a large corrugated shipping box.
