If it lands on a roof or a car or in water, then you most likely took off from an unsuitable location, this is clearly laid out in all dji drone manuals, I have also tested RTH extensively and I have found it very difficult to get aircraft to land any further than 3 feet from take off point.
While people have said dji forgot to include precision landing, I’m not to sure that was the case and I can only think they are working on trying to implement it into FW/SW, we seen today the release of the new Mavic Enterprise and precision landing has not been implemented in this aircraft yet.
So while it’s taken some time I believe it will eventually come and I certainly would rather it comes working and not to the detriment of anything else in this great craft, I haven’t seen many having difficulties so far, yes many looking for it, but not many problems.
Or... Just maybe... Finding truly qualified and skilled engineers isn't so easy and they aren't so cheap, so maybe they are having a time/brain crunch and have simply put off implementing a feature that they figure won't "sell" additional drones/equipment and focusing on marketing/implementing other items that will. In any case, as I've made the statement before, nobody in their half right mind expects technology to retreat...especially something that was seemingly so well executed previously. You're supposed to build upon prior improvements not toss them to the side...regardless of if you particularly used them or not. I'm sure that many way back when thought that automatic washing machines were also a waste of time and money...I mean, you can wash anything in your sink that you can wash in your brand new HE front loader. But that's not the point. The point is that precision RTH was implemented well in older drones, functioned as described, and has been demonstrated by plenty of other manufacturers as well. I'm sure they're working on it, but the simple fact that it wasn't just baked in to begin with makes me seriously question the repeat-ability of their technological developments. A feature like that shouldn't take a complete wheel re-invention with every new model. |
