I think Ocusync is great and the range is awesome, but I believe a few improvements must be made safety and usability reasons.
- OSD Distance to home.
- OSD Home direction arrow.
These two, I believe are not only "nice to have", but are also a serious safety requirements. Having a system that is capable of going 7 km out and not providing any means of orienting towards home is simply dangerous. I always try to pick markers for orientation, but flying that far away poses risks as we all know. Cameras fail, Flight Controllers sometimes fail in assisted modes (Stabilize, Return to Home and so on) which requires to take manual control. Imagine being 7 km out on manual control and you need to go back... Also, even though it is not always the case, it is good to know your distance from home so that you know how hard are you pushing your ocusync in terms of distance and it is not a good idea to continue further. For example, you fly and your video is still perfect, but in reallity you are 6km out. It might be a good idea to go back instead of keep pushing forward, but without distance to home display it is easy to loose track of your actual distance.
- KM/h or MPh. I understand this product was initially designed for racing drones/planes, but the 7km capabilities certainly mean it will be used for mid-range FPV. Personally for me meters per second is not a unit that is easy for me to use. An option to choose kilometers and miles per hour would be ideal and it would be super easy for the dev team to implement, just multiply by 3.6 and you get km/h, then adding another option in the menu to toggle this function wouldn't be too hard either, I believe.
Please consider these functionalities for a future update.
Thanks!
