I thought some here might enjoy seeing this video, if not already viewed.

It compares the landing ability, of three popular DJI models, with each other...

Interesting dude!

Yes, it gives us much to ponder... Ha

That was interesting to see, I'm curious as to whether the gimbal guard on the P4 Pro had any bearing on its decision not to land.

I was thinking the same... I have done a few precision landings with the P4P and they were absolutely on the spot.

That's a great thought. I know with my lens hood, it scrapes the ground when I turn on the drone....

Thanks for the video, some amazing tech there, very reassuring. Good job.

Now this makes me want to check the P4 accuracy

I've never used RTH other than testing, so might be a good test as to how good the GPS/GLONASS is at pinpointing the take off point.

I attempt to please the masses. Hahaha

Glad you appreciate my efforts. ;-)

Did you hear about Amazon? EU is fining Jeff Besos $2.7B for search engine manipulation. Stinker
Google was in on it, no doubt.

Yes, I think soon, many of us are going to be doing our own investigation of RTH. ;-)

Yeah definitely Google, fined 2.4 billion euro, largest fine in EU for business crime. Maybe I can sue for being led to wrong site to buy my drones, could I have saved a few quid if google didn't interfere.

Greed is an awful thing.

Mine wanted to land in the wrong field the other day, at least 30 meters away from the take off point!  Typically it is around 2-3 meters out.

Waiting for the P4 firmware update with precision landing mode enabled...

Thanks for the update, that's more or less what I expected.

"Waiting for the P4 firmware update with precision landing mode enabled..."

That will be good when it arrives, along with improved gimbal level, tripod mode, terrain follow etc

The dude needs to watch the DJI antenna orientation video

I hadn't even noticed the RC antenna orientation while he flew his three drones. Good catch. ;-)
