Ok seen as you have now established yourself as an expert how can it be done outside the range of 100 meters just using your phone. You say it doesn't make sense then enlighten us and tell us with present technology in spark how you propose it will be done.
Remember you said it makes no sense. Then this leads me to believe you know how this can be achieved.
hallmark007, I see you all over these forums giving advice and whatnot, most times you do have something constructive to add to the conversation, other times.. well.. it is obvious you like to defend DJI at all costs. Nothing wrong with that I guess, but it makes you look foolish sometimes, and this thread is a perfect example.
I am not establishing myself as an expert, I am however a software developer and electronics engineer. I know a thing or two about a thing or two.
This can be easily achieved by adding a simple switch in DJI GO 4 to bypass the home point distance limitation when in active track, warn me if it loses track of me, or loses signal and hover in place so I can correct the situation. If it does not lose track of me, then by all means, keep tracing. I normally set it to trace 20 - 30m from me, so signal loss should not be an issue, but if it happens, just let me know so I can correct the situation. Don't limit my active track to 100m from takeoff point, this is of no use to anyone using that feature and is only hindering what could be a fantastic feature.
If the home point itself was updated dynamically, that would be ideal, but that is not what I am looking for. That is follow me, and not active track. (Edit: perhaps this is indeed what I am looking for, dynamic home point during active track and not just follow me mode.. is it wrong of me to desire this feature?)
Active track is tracking me visually keeping the camera focused on me. Follow me follows the gps signal from my phone which is ok, but it is not tracking me visually, and is not what I am looking for, nor what I am talking about here.
We are not relying on the home point for active track, the same as you would for follow me. We are relying on the visual tracking. Having a limitation on the distance from the take off home point makes no sense. bottom line. Anything else you would like me to explain to you about this? Or would you like to continue to make yourself look like a foolish fanboy?
We understand the feature does not work like we require, but fail to understand why that would be put in place. You are not really helping here, just getting your back up to defend DJI for whatever reason. Personally I would like to see the feature changed, it's fine if you don't. No need to get worked up about it and call people trolls or wannabe experts. |
