Totally there with you on the find my drone being on top! I've never used it, but my buddy mike sold his mini 3 pro to a 70 year old guy who had never flown a drone before. Great guy, we took him out for a flying session to get him started off on the right foot. All good, but he waited a week and then went out on his own, lost sight of the drone, it was behind him, and then went to hit the return to home button and what does the RC do but open up a popup, as we know, with the option to land or return to home. So he accidently hits the land button, lol thinking he has hit the return to home button, as the popup disappears right away, lol
Anyway, he phones me and goes guess what, I lost the drone!
I'm like no way, and just happens Mike is also standing beside me, so he gets on the phone and talks him through the find the drone process, and he manages to find it on a mowed lawn in perfect condition! So we're of course all happy.
The guy calls me up a couple days later and says he reviewed the drone video, and when he hit land, it actually landed on this guys roof first He still didn't hear it coming to him, so hits return to home and it takes off again and starts flying back, he hears it but can't see it so he hits land and it lands in the grass a ways from him where he eventually found it, lol.
But what would this guy have done if we aren't just standing there able to answer the phone!
And yes, an idea can always be improved upon, and we should be happy for people when they improve upon our idea, we might just improve upon theirs as well if we all just work together instead of in competition.
Thought about your statement about more than one drone being powered on, which could happen, and especially if there is a novice flyer involved. I think this is a case where the controller would need to pop up that pane with the potential options and ask which combo you are wanting, and you would have to selct from the options till it sees a viable combo and hit save or something. It would only allow one selection from each category so to speak. So controller, goggles, and drone. Its an interesting point as if, as many people are asking, the drone, goggles and RC2 will work together, it would need to display to both and yet the controls on one would have to be disabled, no doubt one of the obstacles that keeps it from happening. It would have to say, when the goggles are connected to the RC2 and drone, the sticks, gimbal, large buttons we can feel and certain controls work on the RC2, and certain things are allowed to be controlled by the goggles, as with the Motion 2.
Funny, I didn't know hitting the red button twice made it return to home, lol.
Also I've discovered that when I go from using the goggles with head tracking enabled, it disables collision avoidance on the drone, and if I land with it like that, and then connect the drone to the RC2, the collision avoidance will remain turned off.
There are many things that could be more thought out, but I think the pressure of markting and government BS is pressuring DJI into releasing things prematurely.
