I expected the poster to be referring to model cars for racing (else why mention sports mode, thought that is odd in itself) and not motor car lead acid batteries. My mistake perhaps, but the reality seems to be that the drone users who are facing battery troubles or falling drones seem to be unaware of the risks.
I did a detailed report (see above in an earlier post to this thread) about Li-Po battery tech based on manufacturers information, not normally viewed by the public. It shows clearly the limits users should be aware of with this technology and apply it thoughtfully to drone use, because of the critical nature of a flying device dependent on a battery. That is not to say that any other power source is immune from troubles, (added for hair splitters).
"Sports Mode" is one of the Mavic Air's flight modes, along with P mode, Tripod mode, Cinematic mode. Each have their own different changes to the aircraft's and controller's limits.
Sports Mode disables a lot (all?) of the collision detection systems. It's designed to just fly, and fast if you want it to.
P-Mode enables all the gadgets and slows down the speed of the aircraft considerably. Much safer around sensitive situations like people, but it'll also many times not move in close quarters because of the sensors.
Tripod Mode slows the aircraft WAY down, to 1 or 2 MPH I believe. It doesn't impact the response time of the controls like....
Cinematic Mode, which causes the reaction to controls to be buffered. When you request acceleration in any direction other than ascending or descending, it mellows out the acceleration.
I say all of this because I would imagine the term "Sport Mode" would be fairly well-known in a DJI Mavic discussion group.
Or am I misreading your statement?
Why would I be talking about model cars for racing on a DJI forum? I would imagine that would be an off-topic discussion here. |
