Meet IRIS.
Thank you for purchasing IRIS.
IRIS is a personal aerial imaging platform powered by open-source
hardware, software, and firmware. Please read this manual carefully
before your first flight and pay close attention to safety information.
Happy flying!
Important note: When using a GoPro with IRIS, always
ensure that the WiFi on the GoPro is turned OFF.

Slide out the leg to remove it, and replace with the tall leg.
Tighten the set screw until it sits flush with the surface.
Do not tighten the screw beyond this point.
Use the small (1.5 mm) hex
key to loosen the set screw
in the bottom of the leg.

Propellers and tool kit
four propellers with propeller tool and
small, medium, and large hex keys
(1.5 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm)
Tall legs
Switch to tall legs to use IRIS with the Tarot
Gimbal or for extra clearance on landing.
04
Charging the Battery
IRIS is powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer (LiPo) battery. Store
the battery at half charge then charge fully before flying. Batteries must
ship at half charge, so please charge before your first flight. Each full
battery provides up to 22 minutes of flight time without a gimbal and
up to 16 minutes when using a Tarot Gimbal.*
Connect charger to the
power adapter cable and
a wall outlet.
Connect the red cable to the
+ port and the black cable
to the - port.
Set the charger to
LiPo and 3A.
Connect the white
connector to the 3S port.
Join the two yellow
connectors together.

Battery Safety
Secure battery inside the guard bag
while charging. Charge until the status
indicator displays green.
Charging Complete
4
Protect the battery from extreme heat, extreme cold, puncturing,
and flammable surfaces. Always transport, charge, and store
the battery in the guard bag.
Charge the battery using a designated LiPo balance charger only.
Always monitor the battery while charging.
Flying with a low battery is a safety risk and can render the battery
unusable. Always discontinue use when you receive a low battery
notification, and always fly with a fully charged battery.
Inspect the battery for damage before takeo and after landing.
If you observe any swelling of the package or the battery ceases
to function, locate your local battery recycling center to dispose
of the battery. In the US and Canada, visit call2recycle.org to find
a location. Do not dispose of the battery in the trash.
*Flight time varies with payload, wind conditions, altitude,
temperature, humidity, flying style, and pilot skill. See the Flight
Checklist for instructions on managing battery levels during flight.
06
IRIS uses four propellers: two with black nuts and two with silver nuts.
Attach the propellers with black nuts to the motors with black tops and
the propellers with silver nuts to the motors with silver tops.
Attaching Propellers
For propellers with black nuts:
Spin clockwise to attach.
Spin counterclockwise
to remove.
For propellers with silver nuts:
Spin counterclockwise
to attach.
Spin clockwise to
remove.
Each propeller has locking and unlocking direction symbols. To attach,
spin the propeller in the direction of the locking symbol. The propellers will
automatically tighten onto the motors when you arm IRIS before takeoff.
To remove, hold the motor in place with
the propeller tool, and spin the propeller
in the direction of the unlocking symbol.
07
IRIS has powerful motors and high-speed propellers. Never place your hands
near propellers while IRIS is armed or the safety button displays solid red.
Always press the safety button until it displays blinking red before handling.
Always fly in an open area away from people and buildings; do not attempt to
fly indoors or in a confined space. Do not fly over people, near airports, or in any
situation that could pose a hazard to those around you. Always fly within your
line of sight and in compliance with local regulations. IRIS will not avoid
obstacles on its own. As the operator, it is your job to recognize and avoid
obstructions while flying. Always follow the preflight and postflight steps in the
order described in this manual, and remain attentive at all times while flying.
Environmental factors, such as wind and GPS irregularities, can cause instability
in flight. IRIS will attempt to compensate for these factors by triggering a failsafe
if it detects an unsafe flying condition due to loss of controller signal, loss of GPS
signal, or low battery (see below for details). To avoid potential hazards due to
environmental factors, identify the boundaries of your flying area before takeoff,
and recover IRIS manually by switching into standard (STD) if it moves outside
your designated flying area. If you observe any inconsistent behavior, land, and
consult the troubleshooting guide at 3dr.com/iris/info.
Failsafes
Loss of RC signal
Always use the controller as a primary or backup control system when flying.
Ensure that the controller is turned on any time IRIS is powered. If contact with
the controller is lost during flight, IRIS will land and display a blinking yellow LED.
If IRIS is more than 2 meters (6.5 feet) from the launch point, it will return to
launch (RTL) before landing. (See page 13 for more information about RTL.)
Loss of GPS signal
IRIS requires an active GPS signal before takeoff. If IRIS loses GPS signal in flight,
it will trigger a GPS failsafe, indicated by a blinking blue and yellow LED with a
high-high-high-low tone, and automatically switch to manual control (standard
- altitude hold mold). Always be prepared to regain manual control of IRIS at any
time while flying and choose an unobstructed flying area to improve GPS signal
strength. When flying a mission, we recommended changing the GPS failsafe
behavior to land. (Visit 3dr.com/iris/info for more information about configuring
the GPS failsafe.)
Low battery
When the battery reaches 25% of its remaining charge, IRIS will land and display
a blinking yellow LED with a quick repeating tone. If IRIS reaches the low battery
limit during a mission, it will return to the launch point before landing.
