Flying/Shooting

Before flying please read Disclaimer and Battery Safety Instructions to understand the safety precautions.
This section will cover what you need to know and how you need to prepare before flying DOBBY, as well
as details on flight and photo & video shooting operations.

Flight Environment Requirements

We suggest you conduct the first flight in an open outdoor area, and you can turn off the
novice mode to conduct indoor flight after getting familiar with the flight control.
Outdoors
Don't fly DOBBY in bad weather conditions, such as in high wind, rain, snow.
1.
2. When flying, always keep DOBBY in your line of sight. Ensure that you avoid obstacles, high voltage
wires, trees and shrubbery, groups of people, bodies of water.
3. Please fly in open area, do not fly near buildings and keep a good distance from tall buildings, for fear
that the GPS signal would be blocked.
4. Do not fly near complex electromagnetic environments, such as near signal tower, base station, for
fear that the Wi-Fi signal would be interfered.
5. Do not fly near areas with abnormal magnetic fields, for fear that the compass would be interfered.
DOBBY cannot fly in the north and south poles.
6. In areas 3000m or higher above sea level, the flight performance may be affected due to
environmental conditions. Please use with caution.
If the GPS signal is weak, DOBBY will use the optic flow and ultrasonic positioning. Please fulfil the
requirements for the optic flow and ultrasonic positioning, see "Indoors".
Indoors
1. During indoor flight, DOBBY uses the optic flow and ultrasonic positioning. The flight area needs to
be above a clear textured surface that is not too sparse or too dense. If you can't find an appropriate
textured surface, you can put a textured carpet or cloth on the ground, table or any large, horizontal
surface to provide the required texture.
2. Indoor flight needs to be conducted in a well-lit area (luminosity > 15lux) such as an area illuminated
