Speaking of UAVs, it is inevitable that we will think of Dajiang, which is popular at present, whether in terms of appearance design or function stability, or quite popular, but the only reason why people don't want to start is in terms of price, secondly in terms of body shape, and it is troublesome to carry out, Originally, I wanted to take some beautiful videos in the local area as souvenirs, but I chose to give up because of carrying.
For current users, of course, we hope that UAVs can be lightweight and portable, so that they can not only meet the needs of daily photography, but also can be stuffed into the bag or even put into the pocket when going out on a real trip. Speaking of this, I believe that people do not necessarily believe that there is such a UAV? There is no doubt, of course, that such a UAV must be referred to as a "DOBBY Pocket UAV" released by Zero Intelligent Control. The whole machine is only the size of an iPhone 6 phone, especially the weight is less than 200g, so it really belongs to a pocket UAV. In order to solve the performance of UAV in terms of endurance, DOBBY pocket UAV also supports QC2.0 fast charging, which can be charged in any charging environment, such as mobile power supply. What kind of UAV is it? Let's get to know.
In terms of the outer packaging, it is enough to feel how small this UAV is. The rectangular white paper box outer packaging design does not show any patterns on the front, only simple brand words. Seeing this outer packaging, I really want to see how small it is inside.
The DOBBY pocket drone can be directly and completely displayed in front of us when the front cover is opened. Just looking at the figure, it is almost the same size as the iPhone 6. This size design is basically more convenient in carrying, which also confirms what they say is a "pocket drone".
The matching of accessories is rich, including the introduction of the manual and several cards, as well as the power adapter, Type-c charging cable, charging base and Type-c to micro USB adapter. As mentioned earlier, it supports fast charging 2.0, just look at the matching Type-c charging cable.
In terms of battery, it is a detachable lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 970mAh. The current power can be viewed at any time through the buttons above, and the current power can be displayed by four LED lights. At this capacity, the battery's measured endurance is about 10 minutes, which should be hard to accept. After all, it is good to be able to do so under such a small UAV. Fortunately, it supports QC2.0 fast charging. The whole charging process can be completed in 30 minutes, which also makes up for the short endurance.
The DOBBY pocket drone gives me the first impression that it is very small. It can be easily held in one hand. The size is 135 * 67 * 36.8 when it has not been unfolded. It can be put into the pocket at will, which is equivalent to an iPhone 6. It has advantages over other drones in carrying. Especially when planning to travel, it wants to take pictures of the current scenery, Such size design is undoubtedly the best choice.
The mobile phone APP is used for the control. The connection is made through the transmitted wifi, which is not only stable, but also free from any disconnection in the control distance. It is much better than Bluetooth. There is no overly complex key design on the front, only a single round key in the middle, which can be quickly connected and controlled by long press, simple and convenient.
The folding design, which stores the four arms in the body separately, can complete the opening process by opening outwards. This design not only provides convenience for carrying, but also provides good protection for the arms. There is no need to worry about breaking due to prevention, which is a design that can achieve two goals at one stroke.
A Micro USB data port is provided above the fuselage to facilitate us to directly connect to the computer through the data cable to copy videos after shooting. At present, videos can be downloaded and viewed through the APP, but cannot be shared, and can only be copied through this interface.
The lower part is the visual optical flow ultrasonic positioning system, which is a camera and an ultrasonic sensor, and the two are indoor positioning and height fixing respectively. The GPS+GLONASS dual satellite navigation system has a maximum wind speed of four levels. In the actual test, the outdoor is basically unblocked, and the indoor flight control is basically no problem, At least there is no delay, which corresponds to the synchronization screen of mobile phone APP.
In addition to focusing on the appearance design, of course, the most important thing is the matching camera. The DOBBY pocket UAV uses a Sony IMX214 13 megapixel camera, which can take 4K pictures and 1080P video, basically meeting our daily shooting needs. Built in three-axis electronic stabilization technology, which can open image stabilization through APP, so that our videos will not appear jitter. It is worth saying that the lens also supports 0 °, 22.5 °, 45 °, 67.5 ° and 90 ° viewing angles. It is mainly used to shoot small videos. Ten second shooting can be achieved by long pressing the capture key, and it will automatically return after completion, It is suitable for shooting short videos in small scenes.
The boom is foldable, and the propeller is also foldable. However, I'm not satisfied with it. It's a bit troublesome to replace it. If it's the first time to play with a UAV, I still recommend buying an aircraft protective cover, which can protect the propeller and will not be damaged even if it collides. The propellers in Sifang are all equipped with high-speed electric brushless motors. The powerful part of this motor is that the UAV is above you, just like a powerful fan blowing on your head.
In terms of configuration, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad core 2.3GHz processor and Adreno330 image processor are used, with 2G storage and 16G storage space. The storage space for video storage is OK. After all, we still have to download it to the mobile phone to clean it up. Generally, the UAV cannot be compared with the mobile phone in terms of configuration. For a simple understanding, it is used to determine whether the synchronization image will be stuck or delayed during flight. However, this configuration will not cause such problems. A cooling area hole is also added at the bottom. Although it can maintain good heat dissipation, an overheat alarm will appear when you fly for a long time, such as when you have multiple batteries.
In addition to being lightweight and portable, DOBBY Pocket UAV is also fun in functions, such as self taking, which can be achieved through simple APP control. Other attractive functions, such as target tracking, face recognition, flying around and the aforementioned 10 second short video frequency, can be said to be not only a camera capable UAV in functions, It can also be said to be a multi-functional camera. In many play methods, the playability is relatively high, not limited to shooting, which is worth praising.
After understanding the appearance design of DOBBY pocket UAV, the most important part of control is the APP, which can be fully controlled by connecting to the APP, including the display of other functions. Currently, Android phones and Apple phones are supported, and there is no need to worry about being unable to use because the phone does not fit. In the experience process, the operation is relatively simple, There is also a novice tutorial, which makes it easier for us to get started. Especially for those I have never played with UAVs, I can only simply show them on the operation and screen. Next, let's see what surprises the APP has in terms of control.
The photos taken with this 13 million pixel camera are still very clear. The size of the 4208 * 3120 photo basically keeps each photo at more than 4 m-5 m. Due to the limitation of the website, I can only compress it, and the actual view is clearer than the above. I am familiar with the control, whether it is taking panoramic shots at a high level or taking street shots at a low level, Basically, they can be played easily. Especially when shooting a scene, there will be no jitter that will affect our shooting. The built-in three-axis electronic stabilization technology plays a very important role in this regard.
The connection is very simple. You only need to connect via the WIFI hotspot sent by the DOBBY pocket drone. The password is currently the default. Every operation function will be marked with text just after entering, which is easy for us to learn. The commonly used functions are almost all on the main interface, including takeoff, shooting, control, parameter selection, etc., but it is the first time to learn, You still need to get familiar with the functions of this app.
Clicking takeoff and landing are all on the same function key. The first time I play UAV, of course, the scene is still open. After all, it is not easy to operate it at first. The default up, down, left and right direction control is a body feeling. This feeling is not suitable for beginners to operate. It is easy to make UAVs disorderly string because of swinging the mobile phone. I chose rocker control for convenience, This is easier to control. Another function is that you can use voice to take off, including landing. The coverage of functions is relatively good, and the playability is very high.
The arrow icon in the lower left corner contains the operations of most functions, including short video, circling flight, target tracking, face tracking, and one click return. Almost every function point has a separate prompt to tell you how to operate this function. This brings a convenient and intuitive way for novices. The official consideration of this is very careful.
The parameters on the right can be set for photographing, including whether to take a selfie or a continuous shot. Even the white balance and EV can be set by themselves. Personally, I think the selfie function is quite practical, so that the benefits of selfie can be realized without having to find a place to set up a camera. Of course, there are also collective selfies, even capturing some movements, etc., as well as selecting selfies at different times, which is more intuitive and panoramic.
DOBBY pocket UAV adopts three-axis electronic stabilization technology, which can achieve image stabilization shooting by setting parts, and can achieve stable video shooting through the lens angle you choose, according to your own shooting needs.
Click to switch between photographing and video shooting. The default is 1080P high-definition shooting. The positioning must be more than 7 stars when operating outdoors. You can choose to use outdoors or indoors through the upper left corner. The indoor positioning is also very fast and can be completely controlled. It is relatively stable when controlled at a height of 30 meters. The official said it can resist the wind speed of level 4, It is better to choose not to fly when the wind is too strong, for fear that the error will misjudge the current flight position.
The built-in 16G storage space can basically meet the storage requirements of our daily photos and videos. Photos and videos can be directly downloaded to mobile phones by downloading, which is convenient for us to view and share to social platforms.
It supports 10S short video recording. Just select "Small Video" and long press 10S to start shooting. After completion, it will automatically return to the current position.
Another interesting function is that you can "fly around" to shoot 360 ° rotating flight by setting the area, not only shooting the landscape but also taking people as the center.
In addition to the above, there is also face recognition shooting, which can quickly scan and record the face, and automatically follow the recorded object in motion. And "target tracking" can automatically track moving objects or human bodies to achieve tracking and shooting. It can be seen that the DOBBY pocket drone has quite a variety of interesting playing methods. It is not like the traditional drone, which only takes photos and videos. Of course, it hopes to achieve more interesting and fun functions. It is expected that more such playing methods can be added in the future.
Another very interesting function is "Streaming Light Picking up Pictures", which can convert our captured videos to achieve mobile viewing of images. After sharing to the social platform, you can move and zoom in freely with your finger when you open it, and you can see that there is a lot of playability.
DOBBY Pocket UAV also mentioned earlier in the aspect of carrying. The UAV that can be put into the pocket will not take up too much space whether it is put into the bag or directly into the pocket. It is like carrying a mobile phone, and you believe that this kind of carrying is more popular for traveling.
After a week of experience, DOBBY pocket drone gives me a particularly good feeling. First, its compact design brings great benefits to portability, which can be directly put into the pocket. Second, its control functions are not too complicated, and its functions are relatively complete. Especially, the added fun playing method makes the drone that was originally just shooting, More interesting. Compared with the traditional UAV, it may be inferior in terms of endurance, but it is still very advantageous in terms of carrying. After all, we want to travel and take pictures of beautiful scenery anytime and anywhere, without being unable to carry because of its large size. The DOBBY pocket UAV is really the best choice at this moment.
