and easy to fly while its integrated design makes assembly and configuration simple and fast. Retractable landing 

gear, vibration dampers, small frame arm incline and minimali2ed gimbal mount allows for a clear 360 degree view 

from the camera. An integrated power hub with patented coaxial connectors, built-in high-speed ESCs and motors 

with high efficiency propellers ensure dynamic stability and maximized power efficiency. Used with a professional 

DJI multi-rotor autopilot system, the S1000 can hover and fly reliably making it ideal for photography and

rubber dampers are attached, 

2. Insert the landing gear leg into connection point on the center frame. Affix in place with M3x8 screws. 

3. Connect springs to both parts to ensure snfotv. 

Instructions 

1, Check arms. 

(1) Check propellers for cracks, then install and screw propeller cover on tightly. 

(2) Ensure motors are mounted firmly and rotate freely. 

(3) Mount arms with red propeller covers to Ml and M2 to indicate the nose of the S1000. 

(4) Distinguish marks CW and CCW on the arms. Mount the arms with mark CCW to the M5. M3, M5, and M7 

positions of the center frame. The arms marked CW should be mounted to the M2, M4, M6, and M8 

positions of the center frame. 

(5) Check power cable connector. Diagram A shows normal and S shows abnormal. The correct connection 

method is detailed below. 

i. Remove shrapnel from the damaged connector as demonstrated by diagram A using tweezers or a knife. 

ii. Replace the power cable connector if the shrapnel damage is too great (e.g. connector is broken or bent) 

and cannot be pulled out or plugged in.

Mounting Electronics and Wiring 

Eight positions are reserved for mounting a flight control system, wireless video transmission module, receiver, and 

other items. The OJI A2 flight control system has been used here as an example. If using an A2, follow mounting and 

wiring instructions found in the A2 flight control system user manual. If using the DJI WK-M flight control system, 

please refer to the WK-M user manual for connections. Also be sure your firmware on your OJI flight controller has 

been updated to the latest version.

Connecting XT60 Ports on Center Frame 

The bottom board is a power distribution board with three XT60 connectors for battery power. 

Instructions 

1. Connect PMU power cable to XT60 connector on top of the bottom board. 

2. Connect landing gear control board cable to XT60 connector on the bottom of the bottom board. 

3. Other connectors can supply power for other DJI devices if required. 

Installing Battery 

Soldering battery connectors 

AS150 anti spark connectors are used. They must be soldered to battery power cables. 

1. Remove original battery connector. Avoid cutting power and ground cables at the same time as this can 

cause a short circuit. We recommend wrapping unsoldered cable with insulating tape to prevent 

accidental connection. 

2. Pass the black ground wire through the black housing. After passing the wire through, solder the female 

bullet connector to the ground wire. Wait for the soldered connection to cool, then pull the housing back 

over the bullet connector. 

3. Screw and pass the red power wire through the red housing. After passing the wire through, solder the 

male bullet connector to the power wire. Wait for the soldered connection to cool, and then screw and 

pull the housing back over the bullet connector.

Setting Landing Gear 

Using a 2-position R/C transmitter switch, landing gear retraction can be carried out remotely. 

Setting up the transmitter 

Select a 2-position switch (default setting is OK) as the control input for the landing gear. Ensure 1 

corresponding receiver port is connected to the "IN" port on control board. For the A2 flight control system, 

main controller's F1 port to "IN" port on control board. 

(1) If the transmitter switch has a FailSafe function, set the FailSafe value to the [Lower] position. This 

ensures that landing gear will lower automatically when the receiver enters FailSafe mode. 

(2) To avoid accidental switch triggering, slide levers or other controls can be used for landing gear control. 

Usage procedures 

1. Ensure transmitter and receiver batteries are fully charged. 

2. Toggle switch to [Lower) position, and then turn on transmitter. 

3. Ensure [R], [L] and [IN] connections are correct. 

4. Ensure landing gear is in the [Lower] position then power on the system, if the green LED on the landing 

gear control board is solid, everything is normal. If it flashes green slowly, re-calibrate the system according 

to instructions in "Recalibrating Servo Travel". 

5. Toggle switch to [Raise] position ONLY AFTER takeoff. 

6. Toggle switch to [Lower] position for landing. 

(2) When powering on the system, if the transmitter switch is in the [Raise] position, the LED will flash red 

quickly as a warning. Toggle the switch to the [Lower] position to continue. 

(3) if there is an abnormal signal or no signal input into the [IN] port, the LED will slowly flash red. Check 

receiver and connections for problems. 

(4) If servo power consumption is too high, the LED will light up red. If this lasts more than 4 seconds, 

landing gear will lower and the LED will flash green slowly. Re-calibration is needed before flying. 

(5) A2 flight control system users can use the A2 Assistant Software to set intelligent gear on the 

"Advanced" page. Refer to the "A2 flight control system user manual" for details.

FAQ 

Soldering the ESC 

Be sure to solder the thick wires and fine wires correctly when soldering an ESC to the frame arm. 

Ctockwise (CW) and counter clockwise (CCW) motors should be soldered to the ESC in order of color.

Remounting the Propeller 

Instructions 

1. Use two M3x8 screws and four washers to remount propeller. 

2. Apply thread locker to the thread of the propeller mount first. 

3. Affix screws with 4Kg.cm (0.4N.m) torqueTips: Refer to original screw tensions if unfamiliar wilh torque measurements. Applying thread locker to the 

propeller mount first avoids getting thread locker into the holes of the plastic propeller. 

Notes: Loose screws cannot be securely locked with thread locker.

Assembling Motor Vibration Absorbers 

A soft gasket is pari of the vibration absorber. Assembly of the soft gasket must be carried out as per the d 

below. Assembly is the same for CCW and CW propelfers. 

Notes 

Ensure all soft dampers and vibration absorbers are in good condition before every flight. If not, replace 

immediately. Otherwise, the flight performance of your aircraft will be adversely affected.

Remounting Landing Gear Servo 

Remounting servos is not recommended as they come pre-inslalled. 

Instructions 

1. Connect left servo cable near to the "RIG" port near M4 on the center frame, then connect the 

"ftLG" port near M3 to the "I" port of the landing gear control board using a servo cable. 

2. Connect the right servo cable near M7 to the "R" port of the landing gear control board using a servo 

cable. 

3. Pressing the SET button using a pin then power on. You will see a yetlow LED beside the SET button 

flashes quickly. Wait as servos complete position initialization. 

4. Make sure the arm connecting to the servo is parallel to the link. (Shown in the following Fig). 

5. Assemble the left and riaht servos to the left and the right parts of the landing gear. Power off. 

Recalibrating Servo Travel 

Landing gear travel has been pre-calibrated. Mechanical adjustment of gear travel is not recommended. 

indicates that the landing gear is working properly. 

Notes 

0} If the LED is solid yellow after calibration, a problem has occurred. Carry out Remounting Landing Gear 

Servo then try again. 

(2) Avoid obstructions during calibration, if the landing gear was obstructed, recalibration is required using 

the above steps. 

(3) If [RJ and [L] servo cables are reversed, travel will not be measured correctly. Connect correctly and 

recalibrate the landing gear using the above steps. 

Instructions 

1. Keep hands away from all mechanisms. 

2. Ensure [R], [L] and [IN] connections are correct. 

3. Keep the whole aircraft off the ground during calibration as landing gear will move. 

A. Press and hold the SET button using a pin while powering on, then release. An LED will flash yellow 

quickly. Press the SET button again. Auto calibration will begin and the LED will flash yellow slowly. DO 

NOT obstruct any moving parts during auto calibration. 

5. During calibration, the left landing gear will raise and lower, follow by the fight landing gear. 

6. After calibration, both left and right landing gears will be lowered and the LED will be a solid green. This
