No rant it does hover well indoor but I think at a certain height I just finish explaining to someone that he thinks the mavic has a button where you could select the flight modes and you cant you have P mode and sport mode to select the other modes like ATTI and OPTI mode are automatically put in when you have no gps signal or some gps signal the location I was at yesterday there is no signal of any radio wave but just your and the mavic maybe once in a while I got three GPS signal and it will flip to OPTI mode but when there is no GPS signal it goes into ATTI mode, even when I was shooting outside of this monastery it will be in ATTI mode and hover perfectly well just that when you push the stick it will not have the same stopping breaking power as when your flying when it has gps signal it will drift like if it does not have any breaking power... I call it quicks when I notice the flight behavior on this and landed the craft, there were some dead trees with dry branches and did not wanted the craft crashing into it. The optical and sonar sensor in the bottom I believe has a certain height where it will work perfect but it will not work at a higher height if in ATTI mode is the most risky because it does not show any breaking power on the controls if you push to one of the side or forward and let go with out pushing backward or to one of the opposite side it will drift and this is where people have most crashes.
What you don't seem to understand is that without sensors (GPS/Opti), there's no way it can have braking, because it has no information to know if it is moving. It has no idea how much stopping power to apply to stop it. There is no position hold in attitude mode.
Coming from a Phantom, I would also like to strongly recommend the ability to switch to atti mode when desired to have positive control.
Yes, as explained earlier, there is a limitation to the height above ground where Optical and ultrasonic sensors will work. |
