Flying/Shooting
Before flying please read the 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 DOBBY before
flying, as well as details on flight, photo and 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 controls .
Outdoors
1. Don’t fly DOBBY in bad weather conditions, such as in high wind, rain, snow.
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 areas, do not fly near buildings and keep a good distance from tall buildings, these
can block the GPS signal.
4. Do not fly near complex electromagnetic environments, such as near signal towers or base
stations, these can seriously interfere with the WiFi signal.
5. Do not fly near areas with abnormal magnetic fields as this will interfere with the compass. 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
