3. Notes

1. Insta360 Sphere is not water resistant. Do not use the camera in or around water, including in the rain.
2. This product is only suitable for experienced and highly skilled drone pilots. Users are fully responsible for the risk of using this accessory during drone operation (unless risks are caused by a product defect).
3. Be sure to take off in an open outdoor area, and keep the distance between pilot and drone above 5 meters (16.4 feet) and within 10 meters (32.8 feet). Do not use your hand as a take-off or landing platform.
4. To ensure flight safety, please keep the drone within visual distance, staying away from obstacles, crowds and bodies of water. For detailed flying guidance, please strictly follow official operation guidelines and instructional materials from the drone manufacturer.
5. Check that all parts are firmly connected before use.
6. Check the drone's blades before flight. The appearance should not be noticeably worn.
7. Only fly at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level or below. High altitude environments will reduce the power redundancy and safety of the aircraft.
8. Do not fly in harsh or unpredictable environments. Do not fly on windy days. Do not fly in extremely cold environments, or the battery may be damaged irreversibly.
9. As the Insta360 Sphere records video in all directions at once, users do not need to adjust the orientation of the drone to control the filming angle. To be safe, the user should be facing the drone's tail when controlling it.
10. Please take off or land on the take-off pad to protect the camera's lenses.

4. Before You Fly

1. Before use, open the battery door (①) and insert the battery (②). Please charge the Insta360 Sphere via the included Charge Cable in case of low or depleted battery.
2. Before use, insert a MicroSD card.
   Note: Please use exFAT formatted microSD cards with the UHS-I bus interface and Video Speed Class V30 rating to ensure normal recording. The maximum supported storage space is 1TB.
3. Before use, stick the double-sided adhesive to the inner side of the Sticky Lens Guard, then stick the Sticky Lens Guards (with the double-sided adhesive) onto the lens.
