the spark has flaws yes.. but i think the solution is easier, DJi, just fix it damn it.. my current spark, 2nd one i owned is such a treat to fly, however it isnt immune to its issues.. however i disagree wth further limiting users, instead they just just fix it and make the spark smarter/make us more aware.
first of all, if the spark losses its compass lock.. it is pretty much confused out of its mind, so i agree that if that occurs it should do something about it, itself.. like hover in place and pop up on screen a slider for use it explain atti mode can be far less predictable and controlable, but limit its speed. slider to accept and enter atti mode (reduced) or something. this would be far more helpful for everyone, instead of it just flipping atti mode on suddenly and dive bombing into a tree because we didn't realize it fast enough or because we didn't realize it had its directions flipped around.
secondly, when spark is in IMU/compass error or a unknown/fatal error, it definitely shouldn't autoland or RTH, i agree with this, oddly enough.. this is second biggest killer of sparks, is when it forces autoland and ends up in a river or ocean or something. or RTH is initiated and compass is screwed up, it ends up snacking on a tree or eating weeds in a random field somewhere complete else.. , better if it maintained its height hovering in place and gave us options to find a spot to land ASAP... turn on OA automatically, kill sport mode and lets us slowly escape danger and land on safe area ... however if the signal is lost then spark should initiate something else, like make a smart landing where the down firing camera and sensors can try to find a safe area to land that isnt water or end of a tree or something and it then turns on find my drone automatically itself, blinks and beeps furiously while firing off its location to RC/App until it connects..
there plenty more but these are my takes |
