Hi Frank666,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have to get relatively close to the tower for surveying prospects roughly 1-5 meters. When the inspire comes close to some of the antennas the drone loses control from the ground station. It flies sporadically around until communication is achieved it wobbles and flys in any random position. The comms infrastructure is mainly cellular but some of it does include both hf and microwave.
Hi Kripps,
1-5 meters isn't 'relatively close', to any structure - that is just not safe in any way, shape or form.
You are just asking for a monumental crash.
So first of all, you need to identify what errors are in the flight log - upload one of these flights to HealthyDrones and see what it comes up with.
At that distance you can be having either EM (I still doubt) or Compass issues due to proximity of the metallic structure.
You said you were doing survey work - are you surveying the surrounding ground or are you inspecting the tower itself? If it s the tower and you are getting in that close to catch detail, then you have the wrong camera / lens combination.
If you are doing ground surveys and the flight plan has you coming into proximity with the tower, then fly higher over the tower to avoid the issue. |
