Description

The T600 is designed for professional aerial 

photography and cinematography. It is user 

friendly, safe, stabilized and easy to fly while 

its integrated design makes assembly and configuration simple and fast. Retractable landing gear, vibration dampeners, angled arms 

and minimized gimbal mount allow for a clear 

360 degree view from the camera. A power 

distribution board, built in high-speed ESCs 

and motors with high efficiency propellers 

ensure dynamic stability and maximized power efficiency. Used with the professional DJI 

multi-rotor autopilot system, the T600 can 

hover and fly reliably making it ideal for photography and cinematography.

Introduction

This section contains instructions and procedures for the servicing and maintenance of the 

T600. Normal conditions are assumed in these 

procedures. These procedures are written for the 

purpose of standardization, and are not applicable to all situations.

Periodic Maintenance

The Stunning Heights Periodic Maintenance 

Checklist is to be conducted every 30 days or 100 

flight hours, whichever occurs first. The Periodic Maintenance Checklist is also to be followed 

upon receipt of a new T600 before being considered airworthy by Stunning Heights, and after 

any major maintenance is conducted that could 

effect the aircrafts flight characteristics. After 

completing the checklist the completed form 

must be kept with the aircraft logbook, and an 

appropriate entry made in the aircraft logbook.

Annual Inspection

To ensure the continued airworthiness of the 

T600 UAS an annual inspection must be conducted every 12 calendar months. The annual 

inspection must be conducted by the manufacturer or an approved DJI repair facility. A record 

of the inspection must be kept with the aircraft 

logbook, and an appropriate entry made in the 

aircraft logbook.
