How to Pack a Drone for Shipping

Return the Controller to the Case

Ensure the antennas are folded down properly

Put the controller into the case with the screen facing the front of the case and the circle antenna/right side of the controller pointing upward

Fold Props

Align one prop with one leg of the bracket

Fold the other two props in to meet the aligned one in the center

Fold Arms

Compress the levers until you feel/hear the latch release, then swing the arms in until they contact the body of the drone. Remember:

"FRONT FIRST"

Fold the front arm in, then the back arm, on both sides

Re-Install Prop Guards

Wedge the foam pieces between the propellers until the foam is just touching the motor

Install the rubber band over the propellers to hold the propellers and foam together

Remove Legs

Pull the collar on the leg back to release the quick-connection, then pull the leg away from the nub

Place the legs back into the case

Install "Remove Before Flight" tags

Sit the drone on the battery compartment door

Align the pin on the tag with the hole in the Lidar compartment

You can gently press on the black aluminum bracket if needed to better align the hole in the bracket with the hole in the carbon fiber

Push the pins into place until the ring sits against the carbon fiber

Lens Cap

Re-install the lens cap by pressing it straight onto the lens

REMEMBER: do not twist!

Put the Drone in the Case

Angle the drone nose down and lower it into the case

Ensure the drone is level and secure. Grasp the handle and wiggle to see if any adjustments are needed to fully seat the drone into the foam

Close, Latch, Store

Carefully close the lid, ensuring it aligns properly with the GNSS antenna and drone handle

REMEMBER: Store the case in a climate controlled environment
