You say I can disable the downward sensors. Could you please explain a little more. The sensors are a safety feature, are they not? Turning off a safety feature will require me understanding it better before I go ahead and do it. I guess it would be helpful to know how the Mavic's computer is programmed to make decisions. Is there a pecking order in which it trusts different sensors? For example, if it loses GPS signal, will it trust its downward sensors next, and then it's barometric altimeter last? Any idea how it all works? I'm also hesitant to turn off the downward sensors because I'm told they are beneficial for an RTH landing when it arrives at shore.
You can disable the downward facing sensors if your flight environment is outside of the sensor limitations and you still want to fly over that environment and not have a sensor working.
For example, if you must fly low over animals, you'll want to disable the downward sensors as the sonar emits high frequency and could effect some animals.
Or flying over water or transparent surfaces could also effect the sonar so if you fly low over still water then it's better to disable the downward vision system.
You do this by going into the Visual Navigation Settings, then Advanced Settings, then move the slider to the left under "Enable Vision Positioning". |
