Overview
What more could you ask for in a drone? 4K camera for crystal clear footage, powered by Li-Ion batteries (similar as the ones Tesla uses in the Model S) which provides up to 28 minutes of flight time, quality components such as carbon fiber propellers, different user modes and a new innovative design makes Gobe a dream for both drone enthusiasts and beginners alike. All of this at a fraction of the price of similarly spec'd drones.

 

 

Gobe Robotics started in 2015, and we’ve been on an epic ride ever since. From our beginnings as a young start-up company with a compact but solid international team, we’ve tried to stay true to our shared vision through a strong work ethic and adaptability, all in pursuit of a robotics company to bring high-end drones at an affordable price to the market. With the creation of the exciting new Gobe drone, and much more upcoming, we hope to show the world how a start-up can stand and compete with giants of the industry with bright ideas, motivation and hard work.

 


 

 

 


*Footage directly from Gobe camera

 


 

From the sky to your backpack - Gobe's foldable design makes it easy to carry to your next adventure.


 

 


Sophisticated 3-axis gyroscope with high speed jitter detection that compensates in real time, reducing the shaky effect in the video and providing a smoother and steadier image, even when you fly on windy days. It allows GOBE to get rid of that extra weight the mechanical gimbal would bring and get that crystal-clear footage, even in the  scenes with lots of motion, enabling Gobe to be light and compact, while keeping the footage professional.

 

 

 

Take your GOBE with you wherever you go, no geofencing, no restrictions, you decide.

 

 

 





 

 

Silky smooth videos are no longer Hollywood’s secret

· Available for either action camera or smartphone

How long have you been in the drone business?

Our team has been working on bringing the latest drone technology to Gobe over the past 2 years. Our partnering factory has been in business for almost two decades.

Where are you located? Who do I have to contact if I have any questions?

Gobe is registered in the United States. Our team comprises of native English and Spanish speakers, who will be able to assist you if you will have any questions.

What are your future plans?

We would like to contribute to the robotics industry by improving Gobe further and creating a bigger variety of drones and other electronic products, suiting both, professionals and amateurs.

 

What's different about Gobe?

- Li-Ion batteries (Similar as the ones used in the Tesla Model S)

- Auto-stabilization camera, getting rid of the gimbal allows Gobe to be lighter than most of the drones of its category while keeping a crystal-clear and stable footage.

- Carbon Fiber Propellers, to produce less vibration due to their stiffness, which creates less noise when spinning, solving the jello problem in your video. High performance under high RPM.

- Innovative design, we work with top global designers to be able to offer a different look as we are used to see in the drone industry, being able to be different in on of the faster growing markets.

How does the Li-Ion compare to Li-Po as far as charge/discharge cycles?

The Li-Ion batteries have 3-4 times more cycles than Li-Po batteries. This new generation of Li-Ion cells is designed with higher discharge rate, thus making them perfect for this kind of application while still retaining its life and capacity at a peak.

What is the maximum height and range covered by Gobe?

Gobe can reach the maximum altitude of 2.4miles and has also been tested in open spaces free of interferences up to 2 miles.

What is the maximum speed Gobe can reach?

Gobe can fly up to 55km/h ( 15m/s).

How much does the drone weight?

Gobe drone weights approx. 550 grams, however its weight can vary depending on some accessories, such as gimbal.

Why is the gimbal option not available from the beginning?

When it comes to drones, any small modification in the weight or power consumption can alter negatively the flight time and the manoeuvrability. The 3-axis mechanical Gimbal is an optional camera stabilization that will be free of charge, however, in order to be able to add the gimbal we need to re-adjust others components such a motors and battery to compensate for the change of weight. This requires a certain amount of funds in order to make it achievable when scaling production, which is why we have added it as a stretch goal for those who prefer a mechanical stabilization over electronic.

Is the Geodata collected with the camera footage?

No, Gobe does not collect geodata with the camera footage.

Does Gobe have VPS?

No, only GPS.

What happens in the case of connection malfunction?

Gobe has GPS satellite connectivity and in the case of connection issues it switches to the pause mode and stays wherever it is. If the connection with the controller is lost, the drone will automatically go back to its starting point (home).

Does Gobe have a remote control?

Yes, the remote controller is available in the perks, for those interested in long distance adventures.

Does the Auto- Follow Mode go after the remote control?

The Follow Me Mode can follow the remote controller or your phone as well as specified objects. Following the remote control has higher accuracy rate.

Does the mobile control app work with Android and iOS?

Yes, the mobile app is compatible with both, Android and iOS.

Can Gobe livestream to Facebook and other social media channels?

Our software engineers are working on this function at the moment. We are hoping to be able to offer updates in the app in the future.

Can I remove/change the propellers?

Yes, the propellers are easy and quick to remove.

 

Can Gobe be used indoors?

Yes, Gobe comes with a Beginners flight mode and anti-collision sensors, which make the drone perfectly suitable for indoor use.

Can Gobe operate in cold weather conditions?

Absolutely! When the weather is cold the air density is higher, and as it has diminished resistance it subsequently increases ergonomic operation of the drone.

How does Gobe behave in wind or rain?

Gobe is wind and splash proof. We have tested Gobe in winds of up to 21 knot without significant impact on video quality. We don’t recommend flying Gobe under heavy rain.

Can I use Gobe at night time?

Yes, Gobe has built-in positioning lights in the front and tail, which allows you to fly in the darkest nights.

 

Will this comply with the laws in Europe/Australia/Mars?

We have partnered with one the largest factories in the drone industry, together we make sure every single drone and component go under the regulations and get all the certifications before going to the big market.

Does Gobe have any restrictions or geofences?

Gobe comes without any restrictions or geofences, however, it’s your responsibility to fly safe and out of restricted areas such a governmental areas, airports, etc.

 

Where does it ship?
Gobe is shipping worldwide.

When do you expect sale/shipment?
We’ll be able to ship some of the components such as the hand stabilizer by early September. We are expecting to ship the first batch of drones orders between the end of October, and beginning of November.
*Actual ship dates may vary

How much does the shipping cost?
The shipping cost will be only charged before shipping.
$19 in the US and $29 International.

Can I pick the drone up in SF and avoid the shipping charge?

Sorry, we'd love to meet you, but the drones are shipped from our manufacturing partners by air and land freight. We have to pay shipping on every drone. 

Who is responsible for any additional taxes, duties or VAT?

The backer is responsible, please check your country's import duties before purchasing. It is 0% in the US and varies internationally.

Can I be a official distributor/dealer?
Please email us at hello@goberobotics.com we would love to hear your ideas.

 


Does Gobe come with a guarantee?

Yes, Gobe has a one year guarantee.

Why do I have to wait longer than usual?

This is not just pre-orders: You're helping to build the product and the company, and we need to know how many to make before we can start production. This is the first of its kind, and you'll be glad you waited. We will send you updates while we work in the office, factory and shipping days.

How can I check the status of my pre-order?

Log into Indiegogo using the email you pre-ordered, to verify your information.

Can I get a refund?

Please refer to IndieGoGo's policy.
