Indoor flight:
• The Optical Flow Positioning function needs distinguishing pattern below flying area for better positioning performance.
• An indoor flight requires adequate light (illuminance > 15lux), like normal fluorescent lighting.
• No strong Wi-Fi interference allowed.
• Recommended flight range: less than 98 feet (30 meters) distance, less than 32 feet (10 meters) height.
