I see a lot of replies stating that I still had full control over the drone. The step after that is what I am referring to. As far as I can see, there are multiple steps that occur in order once you get a low battery.
25%(default) low battery alarm - controller/tablet beeps, full control maintained
Aloha Hohh,
First of all, the default, at least for my up-to-date P4 Pro, is Low Battery Notification 30% and it is cancelable, not 25% like you wrote. Second, I have no idea what you seem to be trying to say about my P4 Pro loosing control at 5-8%. When I pushed my P4 Pro to the limit to see if the motors would cut off, I had altitude hover and lateral movement control all the way up until the motors cut off at 1 foot above the grass which I had decided to land on instead of my plastic end-table launch pad. It was softer.
So, you appear to be very confused as compared to my experience with the same Phantom you are reporting about. But, the bottom line, as the experienced commentors are repeatedly saying in this thread, is you are flying very irresponsibly and somehow you want to make your irresponsibility DJI's fault. Well, as they say, "That Does Not Fly."
There is also a line of reasoning, that is unresolved at this point, that running your battery down below 8% too often is bad for your battery. At most that should be done once every three months.
Finally, if your concern, so much that it makes you upset, is that your control might possibly get taken away from you at a moment's notice, you are really splitting hairs. In such a case, you should pack up your P4 Pro and sell it. You should also sell your car and house because they could burst into flame at any moment and kill you while you drive or while you sleep. What you are talking about is life in LaLa Land.
DJI, and any other manufacturer, should never do as you are asking. It would be simply irresponsible. It is bad enough that you want to fly irresponsibly as it is. Keep your irresponsibility to yourself and please stay away from people when you fly if you insist on flying. You are dangerous.
Aloha and Drone On! |
