SAFE Technology Makes You Look Like a Pro What makes the Blade 350 QX3 such a great camera platform? Advanced SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology. Using this technology, the Blade 350 QX3 gives you two flight modes that have been specially programmed for capturing aerial video and images. Both feature self-leveling and use GPS and altitude sensors to precisely hold position in a hover. SAFE technology will even land the aircraft for you if you activate the Return Home function.
Smart Mode Perfect for first-time drone flyers. In Smart Mode, the 350 QX3 will always fly in whatever direction the control stick is pushed. This is called Stick Relativity. It doesnt matter which way the nose is pointed. If you move the control stick to the right, even if the aircraft is spinning, it will fly to the right. Smart Mode also creates a SAFE Circle barrier that prevents the aircraft from flying too close to the pilot.
AP (Aerial Photography) Mode For more experienced drone pilots. In this mode, the Blade 350 QX3 responds to control inputs like a conventional RC aircraft without Stick Relativity. It also gives the pilot more control authority by turning off the SAFE Circle and allowing steeper bank and pitch angles. This makes it possible to get faster panning and tracking shots when youre shooting high-energy, action video.
Return Home This safety feature can be activated at any time with the flip of a switch. When activated, the Blade 350 QX3 will automatically fly itself back to the place its motors were first started and land without any help from the pilot. Its great for first-time flyers who arent quite ready to land the aircraft themselves. Its also handy if you temporarily lose sight of your 350 QX3 while chasing down the perfect shot. Just activate Return Home until you regain visual contact and then turn it off to resume control. If for whatever reason the transmitter signal is lost, Return Home will take over and fly the 350 QX3 back to you until it lands or the signal is restored.

Calibration Screen - One-click calibration of accelerometers and camera gimbal
- Instructions for calibrating compass sensor and DX4 transmitter
- Adjust geo-referenced flight boundaries
GPS Screen - See number of available satellites and signal strength

Adjustable Flight Boundaries As an added safety feature, the Blade 350 QX3 operates within geo-referenced flight boundaries that you define. Out of the box, its boundaries are set at 100 meters from and 50 meters above the point where the motors were started. You can adjust these boundaries using the programming interface.
Distance Boundary Range 20 m (Approx. 65 ft) out to 2500 m (Approx. 1 ½ miles)
Height Boundary Range 20 m (Approx. 65 ft.) up to 1000 m (Approx. 3,280 ft.)
Includes Batteries, Charger and GoPro Compatible Camera Mount The 350 QX3 includes a long lasting 3000mAh Li-Po flight battery and a DC Li-Po flight battery charger with an AC adapter. Its GoPro compatible camera mount features rubber dampeners that keep vibration to a minimum for better image quality. Extra flight batteries are available so you can enjoy more flying time between charges. Just ask for
