Yes, as mentioned in posts further above, the user manual clearly states not to fly in fog or clouds. It seems that visual positioning system interprets fog as being close to the ground and initiates landing.
i think it is reasonable that dji should offer alternatives.. like on my mavic pro i can disable landing protection and entire VPS... which is smart.. so if it gets trigger can disable it if it is undesired..
spark should have more failsafe auto vps disable thing.. shouldn't be that hard to make happen.. let's say flying 150 feet up, what are the chances you are suddenly going 150 feet, 80 feet, 20 feet ,150 feet, feet , 6 inches? i think if vps detects weird readings it should go into a "VPS protection" mode and block out those readings stick to GPS and baro.. or at least ask on screen in a prompt, like: "VPS readings are inconsistent, enable vps protection?" and give us a slider.. or even easier after x number of meters, VPS automatically goes into a VPS protection state where those readings are mostly ignored..maybe allow us to set that or just put in a default 50 meters.. seems reasonable..
im only suggesting auto stuff because how dji seems to be targeting the spark and treating the spark.. obviously i would want a toggle to just tur it off.. but dji is more then likely not going to do that and would rather an auto thing
