No one thought the Mini was crippled & believed it was merely a matter of waiting for the SDK to be released. Memory is dirt cheap. Difficult to believe the Mini has less available memory than an old Phantom 2, which was easily capable of storing waypoints onboard & running autonomous missions. People buying a Mavic Air 2 will also be expecting it to be capable of running waypoint missions
I honestly don't know what I was talking about, it dawned on me after the fact that the Hardware issue isn't memory but the missing OA sensors. The rest of the post still applies, if the mini doesn't have OA then it's never going to have headless(remote, hands free, tether-less) features.
Everyone wants to argue the Quick shots but You the pilot are the one Who's in control. If you start a Quick shot and Crash, that's on you and not the drone/DJI. It's clear, no OA no autonomous features.
Given the Fact that the Air 2 has OA and tracking. Way-points should also be available. I hope on the mini 2, mini pro, we will have OA and can perform accordingly in the future.
Personally the Way-points on a leash can still be useful but it lacks the fun that off leash flights would of provided. I had idea's already brewing on what I was going to try, it's a shame I live so close to an airport otherwise I'd upgrade to an Air2. |
