For those having this issue, I may have a better alternative to disabling VPS altogether. I discovered today that disabling the "Landing Protection" actually disables the Mavic's downward obstacle avoidance, while still keeping VPS enabled for enhanced flight stability. With Landing Protection disabled, I was able to fly my Mavic extremely close to the ground without it ascending or pausing. Literally an inch or two above the ground. I also tested letting the Mavic hover, and then placing my hand directly underneath it. The Mavic didn't budge. Normally this would result in the Mavic shooting upwards, as many people have discovered while trying to hand catch it. Also, with this option disabled, the Mavic no longer pauses at 0.5m when you tell it to descend. It will continue to descend until you stop the input, or until it hits the ground.
Of course, this is still just a temporary workaround until the software or hardware is fixed. Also, I've never experienced this issue of my Mavic not wanting to descend, so I can't say for sure if my workaround will work, but it sure seems like it should.
ps. DJI, perhaps you could come up with a better name for the "Landing Proection" option? Perhaps "Terrain Avoidance" or "Maintain Ground Clearance" would be a better term for it. |
