Hello,
Just thought i would update you on my latest info from DJI Support, which is included below:-
......
We received the update from our engineer stating that if disabled Obstacle Avoidance the issue would disappear, it can be determined that the aircraft wrongly identified that there is an obstacle. In this case, the issue is caused by a significant change in the vision system calibration parameters during transportation and usage, and the aircraft will perform automatic calibration. DJI will continuously optimize the calibration experience in future firmware.
However, we would like to recommend some suggestions as below.
In an open scene with rich textures and no backlight (avoid water surfaces, white walls, large glass surfaces), push the stick to adjust the flight route in four directions (front, back, left and right). * (If the aircraft fails to fly, try disabling Obstacle Avoidance.) Check whether the automatic ascending or drifting disappears. This issue is expected to disappear in 2~3 minutes after pushing the stick to adjust the flight route. If not, wait for several minutes.
.......
I have responded requesting clarification on what they are saying in this final para above, it seems like they are recomending that to get the automatic Vision System calibration to work the Drone needs to "get to know" the landscape where it is first and if that does not work then wait a few minutes.......... ( so between waiting for the GPS system to find sufficient satelites and the Vision System calibration requirment then those requiring a reliable platform to fly within 30 sec or so are going to be very dissapointed...not great).
As a point of note when i get the drone out and set it up to fly i always go through a process of flying the unit left, right, forward, and back to verify that the Drone has not had items come loose within the carrying bag etc, so i will have to increase that routine a little now to see if it make any difference???
And they did not respond to my comment that during limited flying i have noticed no occurrances of the problem if i enable Video as soon as i start flying.
Thanks
JohnW
