DJI Mavic 3 Cruise Control - Powerful NEW Feature

Very nice find DA.  

Cruise control is a really cool feature.  Shawn did a great job of explaining this new feature.

I have my fingers crossed these software features come to the mini 3 too.

That would really be nice if they did.

Perhaps we should start a petition.   

I noticed this morning when flying over an area of housing that the signal was much more robust than usual,   Im thinking that last firmware update might be have enhanced the transmission.  

Would it be possible to get a list of conditions that would cause cruise control to shut down on its own?  I was out flying yesterday and on 3 separate occasions cruise control just stopped.

Based on Chinese business culture I don't think they would pay any attention to a petition.  

Good to hear that you are getting a stronger signal since last update.

Not stronger but more robust.   I didn’t try a range test again but places where I’d get some breakup are now much better.

My bad....poor terminology.  I'm not seeing the more robust transmission but then again where I've been flying I've always had no issues.

Out in the wide open countryside it’s hard to spot but I flew in town the other day where there is a lot of wifi and it definitely  felt better.  

This is very useful.
I wonder if they will introduce this to other drones as well

That's always a good thing and being more robust was unexpected.  Glad they tweaked whatever it was that made it more robust.

I really hope they do.

Yes, I have some very good usecases in mind.

In some ways you can use the RTH feature to a similar effect.

That is in a straight line.
I though about doing a perfect circle while ascending and slowly lowering the gimbal pitch.

Can’t you do that with the POI feature.

Well, this new cruise method seems super easy.
Just set your movement and 'store' it.

Yea very true.

I'm (unfortunately) expecting it to 'not' drip down to M2.

Im wondering how much more will even drip down to the Mini 3 at this point.   They dont owe us anything after all.

That is true.
Yesterday I heard another rumor about the Mini 3 classic. (or however it will be called).
I hope that ticks enough boxes for me .
If it has a portrait 'abled' gimbal, D Cinelike and a 'good enough' price, it could very well be my next drone (as long as they did not cripple it too much on other parts, like the camera itself)

Do you mind if we get pocket 3 next instead.

Not at all.
I will not be buying anytime soon.
Other priorities.

Looks great flys
