Flying using a boat would be way more safe if we can set the remote as a Dynamic Home Point.
Can you please add this to the options?

I'm sure that any users filming fast moving activities would appreciate this.

Thanks

We are sorry that the DJI Fly App does not support the Dynamic Home Point function at present. We will report your feedback to the relevant departments. Thank you for your support.

No need for a new feature (that DJI are never going to give you anyway).
It takes just a few seconds to reset the homepoint during flight.

Well that's complete BS, as previous Skydio 2 user I can tell you nothing beats this feature if your drone supports tracking features....
You clearly never had your mind and hands controlling something else while being tracked
BTW older DJi drones like the Spark did have this feature.

+1

Ever tried tracking yourself on a mountainbike/motorcycle/etc to reset HP to your RC position  with your.....guess nose as two hands are on the steering bar....

In the old version of Go4 for Mavic 1 there was a dynamic home point function.

Yes and DJI took it away along with other useful features like selectable atti mode and an SDK.
But since then DJI have completely ignored requests to bring back any of those.
Hoping DJI will reverse their decisions only leads to disappointment.
You just have to live with them or find a way to work around them.

ATTI mode potentially increases risks for the pilot, this is understandable. But the dynamic point home mode, on the contrary, reduces the risk of losing the drone. It’s unclear why they removed it and I think there is hope that it will be returned.

So do the joysticks, if you don't know what you are doing.
Perhaps you've not had it to fly with, but for years it was a standard feature on DJI dones.
I don't remember it causing problems for fliers..
But having used atti mode for several years,I know that it"s a very useful tool and I miss it.
If you really thought that it increases risk, it's a simple matter to turn it off.

But if you are concerned about increasing risk, for a whole generation of fliers who can't fly their drone home and rely on the automated RTH feature, a dynamic home point could be the cause of lost drones for users who don't know what they are doing.

I fly FPV drones and ATTI mode is not a problem for me. But this is a potentially dangerous mode; I sometimes turn it on for special cases, but I cannot recommend using it to anyone. Dynamic point home is needed by everyone who uses a drone on the move.

ATTI mode does not cause problems if you are flying at high altitude. And you try to fly in windy weather at a low altitude of 10-20 meters among trees or buildings.

No it's not.
Just yesterday I was out at sea and went for miles on a fast boat, while flying the drone.

Using your logic, you'd also suggest that drones shouldn't have sport mode because an incompetent flyer might crash his drone under some circumstances when using Sport Mode.
Where does it end?
Should DJI prevent drones drom launching?

Using your logic, you need to make a switch to Acro mode too)
I've seen a lot of pilots lose drones in ATTI conditions....

There's no trick.
Any competent flyer should know how to reset the homepoint as they are flying.

Just because they completely ignored it the last few hundred times people asked doesn't meant they will this time, does it ??

What are you about?
Do you think that if you don’t need a dynamic house point, then no one needs it? So silly...
Many people install Litchi just to have this feature and DJI is stupid to ignore the need.

Hi,

Can someone help me.... [ rhetorical question ]
[color=var(--COEmY)]

How do i reset every few seconds HP to my motorcycle ? need 2 hands on the steering bar....  :-)
Guess need to change motorcycle for a boat....

This is just one reason why users like to have dynamic HomePoint in the FlyApp.
Reason why it is not yet implemented is that the GPS position of the RC is not that accurate.
Suggested to DJI to stop drone overhead at the dynamic HP, and not start a landing.
So user must manual land drone in case of a RTH due to connection loss to a dynamic HP.

Sometimes it is better not to discuss with silly people.

However, with DJI you can assign a house point using the remote control coordinates.
In the Litchi application, I tested the dynamic point with Mavic 2 and the accuracy was sufficient. I can’t say for sure, but within 1-2 meters.

i know you can set HP to RC position, tested it several time and not as accurate as the HP position set at takeoff, but DJI is working on it.

This kind of precision is not important for the dynamic point, but it is still good to hear that DJI has such plans.

I think that you just like to be argumentative.
I explained that DJI took the dynamic homepoint and other features too and that they have been ignoring requests for those features for years.
But you want to argue about how safe atti mode is and on and on and on.

It gets tedious.

We know about DJI's position without your explanation. In this and other topics, you have repeatedly stated that the dynamic point house is NOT NEEDED. This is what the debate is about.
You were also the first to talk about the ATTI mode, but it’s not clear why.
So don't tire yourself)

This would be a great feature, especially now when the DJI drones are more capable in tracking. Some third party DJI apps have this feature and other drone companies are implementing this on their less capable drones so this should be easy for DJI to implement this.

"the last few hundred times people asked"...

Labroides says people asked for this a few hundred times....
Labroides says it's not needed.

Hmmmm....

Labroids is always right, never wrong.

Logic is overrated, apparently.

As Spock once said, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the Labroids", or something like that...

Wow, you really don't like it when people politely point out your contradictions, do you?

And because you have no valid argument you resort to insults.

And I'd also like to add my +1 vote for this feature. I've used it a couple of times in Litchi for convenience. I wouldn't say I need it, but it's certainly a handy feature when walking a distance while shooting. Yes, it can be updated manually, but automating something can mean taking your eyes off the drone fewer times and for less time.

This feature is very necessary because it is not always possible to manually change the point, for example, when you are riding a bicycle or when you are filming. This function may not be used, but it should be there. Only one person here does not understand its necessity simply because of stubbornness or stupidity)

I'm with you on every point here!

Also discovered today that you can't even map button to update the home point , this is just nuts!
So if there is mist of water on the screen, you are all wet this task is virtually impossible.
I can't believe this oversight. How can you tolerate this folks?
I guess I'm just too spoiled coming from the Skydio 2
