ZEROTECH Dobby Pocket Selfie Drone with 4k camera

ZEROTECH Dobby selfie drone with APP control and dual GPS positioning system

Certainly, these days selfie photos and videos are still in vogue so it was a great idea for the ZeroTech to come up with such a versatile gadget like this Dobby drone.

In order to be extremely portable the ZeroTech Dobby Pocket Selfie Drone it isn’t just small but also has foldable arms.

Based on a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU this drone has the computing power of a high-end smartphone. It is incredible how they can fit so many technology in a small airframe of 135 mm x 65 mm x 34mm.

Thanks to the optical flow and ultrasonic sensors the Dobby drone has indoor +/- 10cm hover accuracy.

Unfortunately, the ZeroTech Dobby drone comes without a psychical remote controller. It can be controlled only through APP (Android or iOS).

Being ultra portable, the integrated 4K camera has only electronic image stabilization, not mechanical one (brushless motors) like in the case of the Xiaomi Mi drone.

The dual positioning system (GPS and GLONASS) allows intelligent flight modes.

Powered by a 2cell 970mAh battery, the advertised flight time is up to 9 minutes, which is not bad for such a small drone.

If my teaser made you interested in this selfie drone, it can be found on HobbyWow website for $ 380 including free shipping. My only concern regarding this drone is the lack of spare parts. You can’t even find spare batteries for it. Hopefully the manufacturer will correct this issue soon.
