He's just spamming his video, you'll find it in 3 other threads that have nothing to do with it.

"What?
RTH is only the height pre-definied. Thats it.. No route or anything. The drone can still crash in many things.
Also it can trigger automatically (remote DC or remote battery empty).
So why is it for 1 point the "operators fault, if RTH height was not high enough", but "active track would be DJI fault, when the drone crashes".
And who is at fault for any quickshot crashes? Probably the operator.."
The Operator is responsible for the entire flight regardless of what you are doing in said flight, it's Your Job to know how the drone operates. If you know the drone will take a Straight Line back to home then it's Your Job as the Pilot to operate in a safe sanction. IE If the drone were to RTH it will be clear of all obstacles in it's return path.

"I’m totally convinced you know little about drones. “RTH is only predefined height”
RTH Is gps operated and continually being programmed to return to its homepoint defined by the recorded gps position at homepoint. Once RTH is programmed correctly by operator and craft is flying in correct environment, it will not crash, unless malfunction of craft."
Can you read the post before replying with nonsense that doesn't actually help in any way to the person you are talking to.
He's saying that if he flew around a flag pole and the drone were to RTH it won't know to avoid the flag pole on it's return flight, but this is where I agree with you that it's his responsibility to ensure a safe flight path in the event of RTH. IE Ensuring no obstacles stand in the way of it's flight path.
This is what it comes down to, the drone is a DJI Starter. It's got a nice camera but all of the "Smart Features" are locked because it's a "Starter Class" drone as said by DJI. Actually their words were "Entry Level" but same same. They are not going to add these extra features to a drone they class as beginner, from the beginning DJI has gimped the mini, same camera as the spark and other drones but they opted to put a smaller heat sink on the mini which renders 4k impossible. Why would they add a smaller heat sink if they didn't INTEND for the mini to be what it is.
You can buy a "Base Model/Work Truck" for X price, it's not going to come with any of the luxury features from the "Economy Line", IE IF you want more features you have to pay for them, again nothing changes about the truck just having to pay more to have features included in what's already built. So when you get mad that your Base doesn't come with the backup camera that's Your Fault for not buying the model that has it included, I understand that You think it's as simple as pluging it in but that's not the case.
We know the SDK is hopefully coming in July, the mini has person detect and can keep objects centered in the frame, that's it folks. The SDK Could allow litche to add active track but as another member has commented if the drone doesn't already have it, the SDK isn't going to enabled it. What Litche and other companies can do with the SDK is develop there own "Quick Shots". Example is a straight line flight of 100, 250, 500 feet and it will keep whatever in the center of frame. It will appear to be "following you" but it will simply be a per-programed flight. I hope to at least see a Spotlight mode of some kind but only after the SDK comes out will we know what's possible or not. |
