This isn't a dash cam where you are constantly recording, quickly run out of space, don't mind losing unnecessary or unwanted footage that you havent "locked in." Usually the videos and photos you take with your drone, you *want* them and don't want to lose them. Imagine the complaints if good footage was inadvertently lost to worthless media without the flyer's consent. You will never see the overwrite option as the default and you will barely see it as an option in an ordinary consumer drone from several reasons 1) a drone can only fly for so long, less than an hour, therefore the pilot has to take some responsibility 2) inexpensive large media files are readily available these days, there is no excuse for running out of room and 3) some manufacturers believe less is better, with so many options and choices already available, it's getting to the point we need to use the 80/20 rule which means if 80% of the customers will never use it once, might want to think about omitting it or putting it under advanced. this option isn't a switch where you use it sometimes and sometimes you dont; generally you set it and forget it which means it probably shouldnt be an "option." |
