Aloha Bizitel & gil,
Today I was able to practice the IOC Waypoints option and just watch the screen during the playback missions and look for lag issues with my new HDMI module. There would be maybe one jump every five to ten seconds instead of a jump every second or two before the upgrade. Even behind trees, the video was much stronger. I am going to hold off on any more upgrades until I have a grip on this. So far, so good, this HDMI module is worth the money!
The Waypoints lesson was interesting though. It turns out that, like CourseLock, movement of the P3 in the flat plane is all right stick (Mode 2 and ignoring yaw). If you want to FPV and see where you are going, you have to use the left stick yaw to adjust the camera, but you will remain in a CourseLock-like control situation. It takes some getting used to. The altitude changes will be making for some interesting videos. The jungle and the mountains do make for some challenge, like my spotter going, "Ahhh, are you trying to fly into that ridge there!" I do have to get that CourseLock technique down a lot better, just to keep from ridge-running when I really do not want to if you catch my drift. If you think about it though, using a CourseLock-like control mechanism allows the controller to better record and manage the flight path and turns so that the final mission file is way more simplified computer-wise. I remember reading about a new GroundStation like app that allowed you to enter what types of turns you wanted to do and so you had to write to each turn and that was a lot of writing. With the CourseLock technique, once you get a handle on it, you just fly the turn you want with the right stick and then control the camera and altitude with the left stick and the camera pitch with the pitch roller. Two different ways of doing waypoints, but the DJI CourseLock technique is better in a "Seat-of-the-Pants" way as opposed to a typing way.
Aloha and Drone On! |
