Thanks Paul.
I have used waypoints and as you say it works quite well, it seems to actually fly just a straight line between points and ignores the actual route flown. I don't think there's a limitation so if the route is very precise, then I guess you just poke more waypoints on the map. Good point about flying around a point, again it would be great if you could just mark points on the map (same for waypoints & POI) and then have it fly autonomously while you concentrate on the camera. Surely that is coming, all the elements are already there.
Being of the old school and a private pilot it makes me nervous being dependent on automation for safety. I've been flying the Inspire very cautiously to date and haven't had any surprises but the iPad display flickers occasionally. My biggest fear is the the display goes blank (as happened on my Phantom). This could just be radio interference, I now switch my iPhone in my pocket to airplane mode while the Inspire is flying and try to keep the aircraft clearly in sight at all times, as a precaution.
Thanks for your thoughts, I'm going to continue to be extra cautious. |
