Safety Precautions
For safety reasons, please pay serious attention to the following points:
1.
Make sure that assembly and connections are correct and accurate, any mis-connection of the IMU or GPS
may result in burning them out!
2.
Please remove all propellers during configuration and setup.
3.
The side marked MC and GPS faces up. The arrow points to the aircraft head.
4.
Make sure the RC transmitter is switched on before powering on the multi-rotor prior to takeoff! Power off
the multi-rotor first, then switch off RC transmitter after landing. Pay special attention to this when using
the S-BUS or self-adaptive feature of the autopilot.
5.
Throttle calibration, manual rudder position, real-time rudder position, channel setup must be accurate.
6.
The GPS+COMPASS unit is sensitive to magnetic interference; it should be mounted as far away as possible
from other electronic devices. The arrowhead on the IMU and GPS points to the aircraft head.
7.
Please enable the fail safe (F/S) function of your RC transmitter before takeoff.
8.
Do not fly in GPS mode when the signal is not good (red light blinks) or the "GPS Velx (cm) or GPS Vely
(cm)" in GCS is more than 15cm/s.

9.
The Gimbal Servo can use power from any ESC, but if the ESCs have no BEC output, please power the
gimbal from a different source to the autopilot.
10. In auto Go Home mode, there are two ways to stop the motors:
(1) Reduce the throttle stick to below 10%;
(2) Click "Disable Engine in the "Control" screen of the GCS. The above two ways will not stop
motors when in any other Flight Mode.
11. The low voltage alert is very important. When this alert is activated you should land immediately to avoid
a crash or any other harmful consequence.
12. Please do not take-off when the Vibrate state in the GCS displays a high value.
13. You must check the Course Angle and Magnetic Declination value in the GCS are correct after compass
magnetic calibration.
14. You must check that the Attitude Angle and Static Angle in the GCS are correct before takeoff.
15. Please pay special attention to the wiring connections of the GPS/COMPASS and MC. Mis-connection may
result in a short-circuit and fry your components.
16. The anti-reverse design of all plugs is there for an important purpose; please do not try to force any
connections.
17. In some strong magnetic fields the "Course Angle" value may be shown as different from the actual
compass heading, please recalibrate the magnetic compass before takeoff.
Make sure assembly and
connections are correct and accurate; any mis-connection of the IMU or GPS may burn out the components

4 FEATURES
INTEGRATED WITH THE SECURE, DUAL-REDUNDANCY, GEMINI AUTOPILOT

The ZERO-E1100 system is integrated with a Gemini autopilot which consists of duplicated control units, the
Master Controller and a Slave Controller. Each has its own IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) which includes 2
separate sets of gyros, accelerometers, and barometric sensors. There are also two GPS/COMPASS units.
Having everything duplicated ensures maximum safety and reliability. If any unit associated with flight control
fails or loses control then the system automatically switches to a functioning unit. The ground station
continually monitors the status of two Controllers, and warns the user whenever a unit has failed and the other
has switched in. This built-in redundancy greatly increases safety, stability and reliability and minimizes the
likelihood of accidents.
COMPATIBLE WITH ZERO HIGH-END BRUSHLESS GIMBALS

By combining with the newest ZERO brushless gimbals, the Z2000 or the Z1400, the aircraft is able to keep
the camera completely level and stable, regardless of flying conditions. This high-precision camera attitude
correction achieves impressive filming stability.
PARACHUTE PROTECTION IN EMERGENCY

An elegant additional feature of the YS professional autopilot is its ability to access the increased safety of an
incorporated parachute. In an emergency the motors are stopped and the parachute is opened automatically.
The pilot can also trigger parachute deployment from the transmitter. This provides another level of safety to
the existing redundancy of the dual system!
AERIAL JIB FUNCTION

An Aerial Jib function is available where the aircraft can, under auto-pilot, fly a preset route whilst the
camera automatically takes pictures according to a programmed sequence. The aircraft can repeat the preset
flying route several times and your camera will repeat its task so that you can choose the best and most
accurate shot for each location.
AUTOMATIC DODGING LANDING GEAR

In order to get a perfect 360shot, the controller can prevent the landing gear from blocking the camera view.
This unique and user-friendly feature is that the autopilot can control the camera and the aircraft
independently and allow them to rotate synchronously. This makes smooth shooting in all directions possible
and the landing gear will never be seen in the frame. All this is achieved whilst the aircraft still flies according
to its preset flying route.
Both Single or Dual Transmitter Control Supported

The E1100 system supports both single transmitter control (one transmitter controls the aircraft and gimbal
pitch at the same time) and dual transmitter control (one transmitter controls the aircraft whilst the other
transmitter controls the roll, pitch and yaw of the gimbal). The dual control method is very simple for users
when outdoor flying. Please note that the firmware of the Gemini autopilot must be later than 20131016 and
the firmware of the Z-controller of gimbal must be later than 20131115.
ONE MOTOR FAIL PROTECTION

Usually multi-rotors will crash and suffer damage if a motor fails. The protection provided by the GEMINI
autopilot, in Attitude or GPS Mode will keep the attitude of the aircraft under control even if a motor does fail.
This highly reduces the risk of a crash.
HEAVY-LIFT AIRCRAFT
ZERO-E1100 has the advantage of heavy-lift performance; the maximum take-off weight can be as much as
10kg which is very convenient if you need to carry large photographic equipment.
INTEGRATED-CIRCUIT DESIGN
From batteries to electronic components, motors and ESC, all of the circuits of E1100 are integrated into the
central frame or the frame arms. This greatly simplifies the wiring, reduces the possibility of malfunction and
helps considerably with quick disassembly. The whole appearance looks simple and neat and makes its
performance more safe and reliable.
5 COMPONENT ASSEMBLY
E1100 system needs to work with a GCS platform (Android phone or tablet) and an RC transmitter (ideally two, one
each for the copter and the gimbal) as shown below. (E1100 with Z2000 gimbal shown as an example).

2. Autopilot Setup
Notice
1
The firmware of the Gemini Slave autopilot is always version 20131000 and there is no need
to update. It is very important not to make the mistake of updating the firmware of the Gemini
Master with the Gemini Slave firmware.
2
The Gemini slave autopilot never ever has a PWM output (outputs M1 through M8) to control
the motors. The Gemini slave can never work independently to control the motors.
2.1 YS-Gemini Autopilot Setup
The whole system integrates with Gemini autopilot which consists of two independent sets of GPS, compass
and IMU. If any sensor has an error, it will automatically switch to another sensor seamlessly and give an automatic
alarm and alarm prompt to the user via the GCS. This greatly reduces the possibility of crash or failure.

4. Additional Hardware Instructions
4.1
Power System
Figure 4 Power System Diagram

Warning:
The Gemini autopilot, gimbal Z-Controller and gimbal Z-Attitude Unit must be supplied with 5.7V. If any of these
is directly supplied from the 6S battery, without using the power module, the electronics may be permanently
damaged.
The Gimbal must be supplied with power from a 6s lithium battery (discharge coefficient 25c or greater). Using
anything less than 6S will make the gimbal fail to function normally.
4.2 Power supply module
To simplify the connections and cables, the E1100-V2 has an added new main power supply module and a
Vice power supply module, so that only one aviation plug is needed to connect the frame and landing gear
15
making all the connections very simple and convenient to assemble and disassemble when flying outdoors.

3Wires connected to gimbal video: white wire is ground, brown wire is signal wire.
All of the connections of the E1100-V2 are already configured when leaving the factory. The user only needs to
connect the port "POWER/BUS IN" of the vice power supply module to the aviation plug on the frame as shown
below:
4.3 Communication Module
A personal smart phone, tablet or PC can be used as the terminal ground control station by communicating via
WIFI with the E1100 system. The WIFI module has two communication modes (Router Mode and Peer-to-Peer
Mode); the default communication mode is PTP mode (Peer-to-Peer), which means the user can directly connect
the WIFI between the E1100 and Phone/PC/Tablet without using a router. This is very convenient for users when
flying outdoors.
17
4.4 Parachute
The parachute is designed to automatically open in an emergency to prevent the camera from damage by slowing
the speed at which the whole system falls, greatly improving its security. This provides an extra level of safety
above that already provided by the eight motors of the Octocopter.
Although the parachute is designed to open automatically a switch is provided to activate or deactivate this
function.
In manual mode, the parachute only can only be activated manually and cannot be activated automatically. If the
knob switch Ch8, is rotated completely to the right, then the parachute will be activated automatically. In GPS
mode, the autopilot will regard the craft attitude to be abnormal if the craft tilts to 70-90 degrees and trigger the
parachute which will then greatly reduce the falling speed of the of the aircraft.. (Interference, rudder judder or low
power will make parachute activation fail)
NOTE:
(1) Make sure the parachute servo is individually powered. DO NOT power the parachute servo
through the autopilot.
(2) Boot the autopilot first, do not power the parachute servo until the autopilot has fully initialised.
(3) Make sure the total weight of the whole E1100 system is not more than the protection capability of
the parachute. The lifting power of the E1100 only allows one 15000mah battery.
(4) Before flying you must check whether the parachute is folded well and the installation position of
the parachute is correct.
This video shows you how to fold the parachute:

F. After rotating each axis of the gimbal around 360, toggle the transmitter CH 7 switch three times quickly to
enter single transmitter operation mode, now the gimbal will be controlled by the craft transmitter. (Toggle it
another three times to quit single transmitter mode and enter double transmitter operation).
NB: initialize the gimbal (check it manually) every time it is powered on.
G. To check whether you have entered into the single TX operation mode: push the THR stick a little (5% is ok),
the gimbal will activate stabilization if you have succeeded to enter single TX mode. The roll and pitch of gimbal will
maintain the cameras balance, and the pitch of the gimbal can be controlled by CH7. The working mode of the
gimbal is set to be independent of the aircraft heading when in single TX operation.
H. The Gimbal will stop stabilization when the THR stick is pushed to the bottom position.
(3) NB:
A. There is no need to activate Gimbal stabilization after entering single TX operation and the THR stick
on your transmitter must be in the bottom position.
B. All the connections of the E1100 are already set up (excluding the receiver) when leaving the factory. Please
do not change any connections yourself!
C. The Gimbal will keep level and upright, automatically, independent of the pitch and roll of the aircraft, it will also
22
retain the same direction as the craft head providing the throttle has been advanced and the gimbal activated.
(Generally, when activating gimbal stabilization, you should move each axis of gimbal around 360and test the gimbal
balance in pitch and role, meanwhile make sure the camera lens and the craft nose are pointing in the same direction.
Activate stabilization by pushing the THR stick, the pitch and roll of the gimbal will automatically attain balance and the
direction of the camera will be same as that of the aircraft nose.).
D. The GPS/compass is calibrated on leaving the factory. All you need do is check the GPS bracket is vertical and
check whether the direction is correct, there is no need to calibrate the magnetic compass again.
1.4 Unlock motors
A. You must refold the parachute each time before flying.

How to fold the parachute
Press the parachute box by hand to prevent injury from the force of parachute ejection, move CH8 switch for a
complete rotation in the right direction to activate the parachute, the parachute will pop-up automatically and
you can refold the parachute replace it.
Caution: you must refold the parachute strictly according to the demo video, the manufacturer will not accept
responsibility if the parachute fails to open because it hasnt been folded properly.
B. Check the F/S (fail-safe) setup first: put the THR stick in or near the middle position and shut down the TX. Now
the flying status on the GCS should display Returning and Landing" (Reset the F/S and restart the TX if it does not).
Arm the motors and open a little throttle to check whether the motor-mix control is normal.
Note:
(1) Motor arming is not available if CH5 of autopilot TX is in the middle position.
(2) Motor arming is not available if the autopilot compass and actual compass bearing differs more than 15
degrees.
How to Arm the motors and unlock (Perform CSC):
To Arm you push the left-hand stick to the far left and extreme bottom, the right stick to the far right and to
the bottom. This is for Japanese and American convention (mode 1 and mode 2) and is called the toe-out
operation (Namely /\ type).
23
For Chinese and European operation (Mode 3 and Mode 4), you need to apply the toe-in operation to arm the
motors (Namely \/ type) After arming the motors you still need to advance the throttle stick to make the
motors rotate. If it doesn't take off, some motors might slowly decrease speed or even stop rotating, this is
normal. You only need to increase the throttle to take off normally.
C. The working status of two sensors of the two sets autopilot can be monitored through the Gemini GCS. Start
flying manually when the GPS of the autopilot indicates 7 satellites or more.

2. Flying
NB All the flying operations in this user manual are assuming a double transmitter as an example. If
you are using a single transmitter please refer to the appendix.
Important: Please Read!
A. You must check the "Data page" on the GCS before flying: make sure motor balance is good. If it is
not, you need to adjust the clock-wise or anti-clockwise motors according to the GCS prompt. Make
sure the actual throttle reading when in the centre is around 50 and that the compass and IMU
readings are good.
B. You can only exit "returning and landing" mode after you have switched to manual mode. (If you
are in auto-hover or in auto-navigation mode you cannot exit "returning and landing" mode)
C. Do not switch to manual mode if your throttle stick is in the bottom position whilst you are in the air.
If you do this it is certain your aircraft will crash as the motors will stop spinning after five seconds.
D. Do not switch to GPS mode if flying is not stable in Manual mode because your flight will become
even more unstable.
2.1 High Stability FPV Mode
The functions A: FPV in GPS Hover Mode and B: FPV in Manual Mode are only available in firmware later
than version 20131008.
A. FPV in GPS Hover Mode
When in GPS position hover mode CH6 in top position, FPV mode will be activated 2 seconds after switching
CH5 of the aircraft TX from its bottom position to the middle position.
In this mode, the craft nose will auto track the gimbal to dodge the landing gear, the elevator and aileron
normally controlled by the pilot obeys the direction of the gimbal, rather than the direction of the aircraft. The pilot
is controlling the gimbal rather than the aircraft. The elevator and aileron respond relative to the video direction.
For example if you push the stick forward, the aircraft will move in the direction that the gimbal is pointing rather
25
than in the direction which the aircraft is pointing.
In another example, when in target lock and flying around the target in a circle, the pilot controls the camera to
always shoot the target using the rudder, flies in a circle by pushing the aileron stick, and controls flying distance
with the elevator.
To quit this mode, switch aircraft transmitter CH5 to the top position (manual mode) or to the bottom position
(GPS Hover mode)

B FPV in Manual Mode
The aircraft will enter FPV (manual mode) 2 seconds after switching CH5 of Aircraft TX from top position to middle
position whilst flying.
In this mode, the direction of the aircraft will auto track the gimbal heading so as to dodge the landing gear. The
elevator and aileron response which is controlled by the aircraft pilot are relative to the gimbal course, not the
aircraft heading. Therefore, the aircraft pilot is directly controlling the gimbal rather than the aircraft. (The elevator
and aileron are subject to the video, that is, pushing the stick makes the aircraft fly in the direction of the video
rather than direction of the aircraft head)
For example, when in target lock and flying around the target in a circle, the pilot controls the camera to always
shoot the target using the rudder, flies in a circle by pushing the aileron stick, and controls flying distance with the
26
elevator. To quit this mode, switch CH5 to the top position (manual mode) .

2.2 Carefree Gimbal Course
How to enter Carefree Gimbal Course:

Switch CH5 of the gimbal TX to the 1st position: gimbal not-tracking mode.
Switch craft TX to GPS mode so that the E1100 will hover when it starts flying and whenever there is no pilot input.
Adjust the craft head to the desired direction when the Gimbal Course Carefree is enabled; switch CH5 of craft Tx
from position 3 to position 2. Two seconds later switch it back to the position 3 and then back to position 2 again.
Now the craft head will move in the same direction as the gimbal head and keep pace with the lens direction in
order to dodge the landing gear. This shows that the E1100 has successfully entered Gimbal Course Carefree
mode.
In Gimbal Course Carefree mode, the direction of flying does not change and the initial direction when it entered
Carefree is always forward, no matter what direction the aircraft nose is facing. The elevator and aileron controlled
by the aircraft pilot are relative to the gimbal course only. The direction of the Gimbal Course is controlled by the
gimbal TX, the craft nose will auto-track the gimbal and not be controlled by the pilot.
As the diagram below shows, the yellow arrow faces the craft nose, the black arrow is in the direction of the flying

2.3 Automatic Panorama Shooting
The Z2000 Gimbal can be programmed to be automatic whether connected to the GEMINI autopilot or not.
Panorama shooting involves taking photos automatically (37 photos in 4 tilt positions) in approximately 2 minutes
in a complete 360rotation.
28
All of these 4 tilt positions will be selected;

h) Horizontal
i) Nose-down30
j) Nose-down60
k) Vertical
How to use the gimbal Automatic Panorama Shooting function:
While Z2000 is in active stabilization mode (THR stick in the top position on the gimbal transmitter), move the CH5
switch to the second position, and at the same time move the CH6 switch quickly from bottom position to top
position 3 timestop->bottom->top->bottom->top->bottom->top). This will activate automatic panorama
shooting.
In panorama shooting mode, craft will auto-rotate in the pan axis, the gimbal and the aircraft will be aligned
together to point in the same direction. The gimbal will control the camera to take three shots in each direction;
one in Horizontal, one Nose-down and one in the Vertical direction. The gimbal will auto-track back to balance in
the Horizontal (after the last shot the gimbal is vertical), and the autopilot will command the aircraft to hover.
Switch to manual mode to quit this mode.
2.4 Aerial Jib Function
How to enter the aerial jib function:

Firstly, preset the waypoint route on the Google Map in the GCS, upload the waypoints to the autopilot and verify
each waypoint (the latitude, longitude, height and speed of each waypoint is editable. The height of the waypoints
may be setup independently). Detailed instructions for setting up waypoints are in the Gemini manual.
Switch aircraft TX to GPS mode to ensure it hovers when the aircraft starts flying.
Move the CH6 of craft TX from first position to second position and remain there for 5 seconds, after that the craft
head will automatically move to the direction of the gimbal head to dodge the landing gear; this indicates the
E1100 has successfully entered the aerial jib function.
With the aerial jib function enabled, the gimbal TX pilot can control the direction of the gimbal (the aircraft head will
track the gimbal), the aircraft pilot will not be able to control the craft with the exception of pushing the stick to
continue flying the preset waypoints route, or releasing the stick to pause flying. The amount the stick is advanced
determines the flying speed. Craft will restart from the first waypoint when it has completed all the waypoints.
29
How to exit the aerial jib function:

3. Landing
During flying, users are responsible for observing the GCS and need to pay careful attention to all the Autopilot
telemetry, including voltage, motor balance, GPS satellite status and flying time so as to be aware when the aircraft
needs to be landed
After landing the E1100 craft, push the THR stick of the Gimbal TX from the top position to the bottom position
to stop gimbal stabilization; disconnect the power, check all of the motors by hand to feel whether the motors are
hot and still installed horizontally.
7 FAQ
Q1: Why doesnt Motor-arming work?

A1: With the newest firmware, users need to shut down the autopilot first and then check the F/S status. Check the
three positions of Channel 5 and Channel 6 with the throttle in the middle position (50%). Only after F/S checking
has been completed can the motors be activated after motor-arming. If this is not done, motor-arming is
deactivated.
After the autopilot is powered on motor arming can only be carried out after the failsafe check. Subsequent flights
can be carried out without the failsafe check providing the autopilot remains powered on. If the autopilot is
powered on again, F/S needs to be redone.
Q1: How can I capture the middle position of the gimbal TX?
A2: When using a new FUTABA TX, make sure there is no mixing configured on the TX and all channels should be
normal (not reversed), all sticks should be in the middle position and the THR stick at the bottom, switch CH5 from
first position to third position 3 times only. Now the central position of the TX will be recorded and saved by the
Z-controller of the gimbal.
Q3: Why does the gimbal still rotate slowly without any stick input?
A3: Due to temperature change (for example when going from indoors to outdoors), the attitude sensing gyros
may drift, resulting in the gimbal moving without stick input. When this happens it is necessary to reset the gyros.
To do this, move the gimbal THR stick to the bottom (this deactivates the gimbal motors). Carry out a CSC
(combined switch command) as shown below. Keep the sticks at the CSC position for approximately 30 seconds,
before releasing. This will initiate a gyro reset. Do not move the camera or gimbal at this time. The reset procedure
takes about 3 seconds. Check the gimbal function after a reset by leveling the camera manually, then push the THR
stick to the top. The gimbal should now work normally.

1 High Stability FPV Mode
A. FPV in GPS Hover Mode

When in GPS position hover mode CH6 in top position, FPV mode will be activated 2 seconds after switching CH5
of the aircraft TX from its bottom position to the middle position.
In this mode, the craft nose will auto track the gimbal to dodge the landing gear, the elevator and aileron
normally controlled by the pilot obeys the direction of the gimbal, rather than the direction of the aircraft. The pilot
is controlling the gimbal rather than the aircraft. The elevator and aileron respond relative to the video direction.
For example if you push the stick forward, the aircraft will move in the direction that the gimbal is pointing rather
than in the direction which the aircraft is pointing.
In another example, when in target lock and flying around the target in a circle, the pilot controls the camera to
always shoot the target using the rudder, flies in a circle by pushing the aileron stick, and controls flying distance
with the elevator.
To quit this mode, switch aircraft transmitter CH5 to the top position (manual mode) or to the bottom position (GPS
