Hi all, newbie here, only had three flights, all successful, but already there are glaring omissions in the app. Oh and ...amazing bit of kit isn't it? To think how far this technology has come in only five years....
Anyway, the most obvious one is the yaw control whilst on a mission, (how did they miss this!!) or a "point camera at this spot" feature on the app. This could work on a per waypoint basis. The quad is perfectly able to point in one direction whilst moving in another.
The Satellite indicator is tiny tiny tiny. It needs to be huge, it's *very* important.
The waypoints need a way to be "nudged" around - the iphone screen is way too small for any kind of accuracy, and on the ipad the res is awful (App needs to be written for Ipad of course). I know the way points can be edited as lat/long, but that is something that takes a while to get used to.
The waypoint height is too difficult to set accurately with the slider - make the slider much longer or be able to set it as text.
We need a "pause at waypoint for x seconds" option. I will be using the Phantom for checking microwave link viability, amongsyt other things. I need to be able to stop and look in a certain direction.
If the camera screen area was smaller, it would look better and there would be more room on the app for bigger indicators - battery, satellites etc...
The app in general is too "toy" like in appearance. This is not a toy! Users need to see this as a piece of machinery that can do serious damage if not treated with respect!!
The home point indicator is a great idea.
The CSV/text waypoint import is a great idea.
In fact all of the above posts are good I think, but we will have to wait for a zoomable lens....
And yes, turn the flashing lights off when connected to USB, effing annoying!!
See you up there
