NOTICE

LOCATION PRECAUTIONS

The Sync

™

251 drone uses optical flow technology to hold it in place. This works by

taking repeated pictures of the ground and comparing the pixels from one picture to

the next very fast. If it senses a change, the sensor will command the drone to adjust

its position. While this technology is incredible, there are some things to watch for

that can confuse the sensor:

• Floors that are shiny and reflective may cause drifting as it tries to follow light reflections.

• Surfaces that are very consistent, like black asphalt, snow, or uniform tile floors,

can also confuse the sensor and cause drifting.

• Flying over water or anything that can move will cause the drone to drift.

• When it is windy outside and the grass or flowers are moving, the drone may drift.

If you find it is drifting where you are at, simply move to an area where the sensor

can see stationary objects.
