## SYSTEM OVERVIEW The EZ-Rig is a powerful and capable Unmanned Aerial System that can be configured to perform a variety of professional tasks. Compact and easy to travel with, the EZ-Rig features long range flight capability, retractable landing gear, built in First Person Video (FPV), and full pilot telemetry data. The system comes complete with a quick release system for mounting various payloads and is controlled with the best 14 channel ground station radio system available. The optional 18 megapixels, 30X zoom camera is mounted on a remotely controlled 2 axis stabilized gimbal. The camera is capable of recording HD video in addition to taking highly detailed still images. A low latency/ high power HD video transmitter streams live HD video to the supplied ground station monitors. The camera’s recording and zoom functions are fully remotely controllable from the pilot's radio system. The EZ-Rig is also capable of performing autonomous missions using the included 2.4 Ghz data link. Any iPad or iPad mini (not included) can be used to program the mission’s autonomous flight paths. With up to 16 GPS way points, you can build your own complex mission, save it, and fly the same route again a couple of days or even years later.

DISCLAIMER The operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles inherently includes some risk and must be undertaken in a cautious and responsible manner. This is especially true if UAVs are operated in environments that include inherent hazards. The operator of this system must identify and understand all factors that could result in accidental bodily harm or damage to property, and must take every reasonable measure to mitigate those risks. Further, many local, state and Federal laws govern the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems. It is the customer’s responsibility to comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations and to operate this aircraft in a safe and controlled manner
. In no event shall Aerial Inspection Resources be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special consequential damages, to property or life, whatsoever arising out of or connected with the use or misuse of our products.


### RADIO FREQUENCY ADVISORY This product includes components that are certified as FCC Class A compliant. In regions outside of the USA, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take measures to comply with local radio transmission regulations. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that operation of this system complies with any radio communication protocols and regulations in effect in your local area.

### PRE-FLIGHT CHECK

Before every flight, the aircraft must be checked thoroughly to ensure that all components are in optimal condition and the airframe has not been damaged in any way. In particular, pay close attention to all soft dampers and vibration absorbers. These components should be replaced immediately if they are found to be in poor condition as they can adversely affect flight performance and camera stability. Before each flight, always ensure that: 1. All parts are in good condition and fully operational . Do not fly with worn or broken parts 2. Propellers and motors are installed correctly and propellers are unfolded before flying 3. ESC signal/ power cable connectors are tight before every flight 4. All flight batteries are fully charged - check before take off with a battery meter 

# Manual V.1 GENERAL SAFETY NOTES 1. When flying, maintain a safe distance away from people, buildings, high-voltage lines, trees, & other hazards 2. Use only 6S LiPo batteries for the EZ Rig power supply 3. Do not modify the aircraft or add payloads to the system that are not specifically designed for the EZ Rig 4. Do not get close to or touch motors or propellers when they are spinning 5. Disconnect the battery while transporting the aircraft to avoid damage or injury 6. Electronic Speed Controls are not waterproof, so do not fly in rain or snow

# Final Steps 

# STEP 7

1. Ensure your take off and landing zones are clear and wide open with no obstacles or obstructions. Remember - line of sight is crucial for the proper function of all communication systems 2. Inspect all arms, landing gear, propellers, and all other aircraft parts to verify they are ready for flight operations 3. Confirm that all switches are in the upper position and that the stick throttle is in the down position. SA, RS, RL need to be in the middle position (refer to radio overview) 4. Turn on the radio remote control and check to be sure the correct aircraft model preset is loaded 5. With the EZ Rig sitting on leveled ground, plug in the fight batteries to power on the aircraft 6. If this is your first flight at this particular location, perform the compass calibration procedure (refer to the DJI Naza link on the following page ) . Subsequent flights at the same location do not generally require recalibration of the flight controller 7. Click on the HOME / EXIT button on the radio and ensure the full telemetry from the EZ Rig is showing on the radio's LCD screen. Tip: the telemetry can be recorded in the RC control SD card by pulling down the SD switch during the flight 8. If you are using the first person view from the multi copter, turn on the FPV screen and select the correct channel. The video will appear with the On Screen Display data showing a live display of all the information from the multicopter 9. If you are using the HD live video from the gimbal system, turn on the CONNEX HD receiver and the screen and ensure the HDMI connection is working properly 10. Do not pull down the SC switch while on the ground ; the landing gear will be activated and will move in its upper position; damage will occurDJITM NAZA – Flight controller and c ompass c alibration procedures http://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/nazam-v2/en/NAZA-M_Quick_Start_Guide_v1.28_en.pdf
