Intelligent Motor Arm/Disarm

Motor Arm
After landing or before take-off, only if it is manual mode and the throttle stick is at the bottom position, the insurance can be enabled after 5 seconds; After the insurance is enabled, even if you push the throttle stick, the motors will not work. But you can arm the motor by clicking " enable insurance" in GCS or moving transmitter's stick as V shape to make the motors start again.
Motor Disarm
In manual mode , the motors will stop rotating when pulling throttle stick back to the bottom. In GPS mode, pulling throttle stick to the bottom only decrease the altitude. After landing your aircraft (Suggest you switch to manual mode immediately), pull back the throttle to the bottom and motors would stop slowly till completely lock stop

This function is easy to set up and convenient to operate, it is suitable for all-round shooting of a fixed scenic spot. Changing clock-wise and anti-clockwise direction by operating Aileron, changing radius to the point of interest by operating Elevator.

OSD Supported

After connecting OSD, flight data can be added to video, to assist you in having a complete flight.

Intelligent Orientation Lock

Usually, the forward direction of a flying multi-rotor is the same as the nose direction. By using Intelligent Orientation Lock, wherever the nose points, the forward direction has nothing to do with nose direction:
In course lock flying, the forward direction is the same as a recorded nose direction.

Failsafe (Auto Hover-Go Home-Landing)

Humanized fail-safe is the feature to ensure that the multi-rotor will hover automatically when it loses signal. After loss of signal for a certain period of time, GEMINI-M will auto-switch to be hover status (Keep waypoint flying for 5 more seconds when during GPS waypooints flight), it shall keep auto-flying as waypoints route to make sure the normal flying task if signal recover within 5 seconds, if not recover after 5 seconds, it will enable auto-back/landing function.

Multi-rotor One-Motor Fail Protection
	This function means that when the aircraft is in attitude or GPS attitude mode, and one of the motors stops, the aircraft will retain good attitude and rotate around the frame arm with the stopped motor. In this condition, the aircraft is still under control and returns home safely and highly reducing the risk of a crash.

Low Votage Vibration Alert (Phone Terminal)
	GEMINI-M has built-in low voltage alert function, when voltage goes down to be a certain low value, phone shall remind users to pay attention to operation by vibration, when voltage goes down lower than the low value, phone shall keep a constant and high-frequency vibration to alert user to land the aircraft urgently.
