Oh that's not fair and why wouldn't such feature be easily available with Mavic Pro using Ocusync? I would venture to guess retracing your previous path is harder for WiFi, at the point of disconnect the drone needs to travel in a straight line pointing to RTH so that re-connection quickly is reestablished? Ocusync and Lightbridge can handle this feature not only because it's not WiFi, but because these drones have higher battery run times, and tracing your previous path takes the drone longer to RTH. The Mavic Air has 21 minutes of battery run time, compared to 27 minutes for the Phantom and Mavic Pro? As a result, I would be very weary of having this feature incorporated in my Mavic Air. The incorporation of this feature to the Mavic Pro seems like common sense for DJI, I wonder why they are seemingly neglecting this enhancement and other proven ones for the Mavic Pro?
I sense we are close to DJI releasing the Mavic Pro 2 very soon, which would make sense why they're holding back on introducing additional enhancements to the original Mavic Pro?
Reading the description, it seems that it may be using the bottoms sensors to trace the path more accurately. When i saw the other post about this, I assumed it did not, but now I think I was wrong. The Pro looks like it has bottom sensors that should be capable of this, but they are oriented different. Perhaps it's just going to take a bit more time to add this to the Pro due to the different sensor positioning. The Spark only has infrared sensors so I would never expect this to be supported on the Spark. The RTH does seem a bit counter productive to me too. This behavior should be a selectable option. |
