gesture seems pretty useless. it loses me constantly, even when i'm sitting right in front of it. the wave gesture is the worst. it's looking for your face and your hand. it has a hard enough time finding both when both are still. if you wave your hand, it will lose your hand or your face constantly. so instead of sending my drone away, i just make the front lights go red. if i do manage to make it go out, but it loses me on the way, i can rarely get it to find me again. if it does find me again, the distance and altitude are all screwed up. yesterday, it locked on to me at waste height about 3 meters away. when i raised my arms to call it back, it lost me a couple times, then finally attempted to come back, but since the altitude was off, it eventually just gave up. luckily, it was low enough for me to grab it and flip it over.
i haven't played with many of the quick shots, but the ones i have played with lose the target almost immediately. rocket, for instance climbs up and forwards, instead of just up, so the target is out of frame almost immediately, and it goes right on flying on its merry way.
manual flying seems to work fairly well. the only issue i have seen is that the gimbal doesn't seem to always account for rapid changes in the roll axis, even with sport mode turned off.
i also seem to get video lag sporatically. it's usually pretty stable, but occasionally, it will lock up or stutter for a few seconds. it doesn't seem to be caused by distance or physical interference, as it happens both near and far. i've tried it using a wi-fi link to my controller as well as an otg connection. both have the same issue. when i'm up high and cruising, this isn't a big issue, but when i'm flying low and close to obstacles, it can be dangerous.
the cmos sensor seems a little slow to correct for changing brightness settings. panning from sky to ground, it takes a few seconds for the terrain to become visible.
for panoramic pictures, the white balance and brightness settings should be set when the picture is first commanded, before the gimbal raises for the first shot. if i'm lining up a panoramic shot, my target is usually already centered in the view. i want the photo settings to be optimized for this view, not the view of the horizon that it takes as its first image. |
