I started flying a Mavic last August. After discovering how critical it was to use the right device to fly. I realized as I look back, how I began to hate the updates and struggled to overcome each one to get back to stable flying. Losing reliability, losing consistantcy with video connections keeping the tensions high each time I flew.
Even while I was always chasing updates, somehow I still wanted to believe that I would overcome the ongoing struggle to keep the bird flying, SAFELY. Safely was NOT worrying about loosing connections or loosing control. Loosing ground, each time I tried to fly after an update, sucked.
Bottom line: I really resent becoming a TESTER for DJI,
I bought DJI Goggles in November and the TESTING continued. Several updates later leading into January 2018 and the goggles were near useless. A real pain in the ass. Blurring, dropping frames and unpredictable disconnecting.
I was loosing the war fighting a battle with updates that could do all those wonderful TRICK photography BS.
I would have loved to have all those horse crap updates tested on other lab rats' aircraft and presented as an option to me, if I am in the mood to put up with yet another testing session for DJI.
Fast forward> Determined to fly the Mavic and not sell it to get a drone that was not software defined.
I am happily at August 2017 software versions for Mavic and goggles. No panos and whoopty bull. Just smooth, clear, reliable flying that I can count on using the device of MY choice to fly with.
NO SURPRISES
And to think they chose to lock us out of software that works... |
