i am confused of illustrations provided of orienting optimally the parallel flat facing antannae into the target.

is there some analog meter needle showing a response that you are orienting the antennae flats toward the target optimally?

after a separation of say 67 yards the craft is too speck to see it.

putting the user at risk orienting not optimally is an engineered risk factor.

think about it.

were the software screen capable coaching orientation to user, wouldn't that be an invaluable connectivity safeguard designed feature?

can it be done?

why hasn't it been done?

i forgot to post for the disabled person who is entitled drone endeavors but can not see
the nocturnal bat does not see but is compensated by sonar.

but do you understand they optimally beacon directionally as we are attempting onto an unseen target.

how do you gauge connectivity signal strength from controller to drone? where is this indication on display that responds to you that you are orienting antennae most favorably?
if you can't see the drone naked eyed how do you orient antennae to the drone?

some kind of directional sensing is required on screen to indicate to you that you are pointing most favorably.

i don't know what happens should a mountain or huge blocking building come between, maybe lost connection likely.

or does wlan "bend around" such barriers of connectivity?

Would be nice to have such indication, but somehow we're flying...

which reminds me of the 1st time i attempted to ride a bicycle and resorted to training wheels!
what is suspicious of it is dji inability to rectify it.

recall nazis radio signal directional eavesdropping utilized to point to enemy communications.

that was 1940's?

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing

nope, that's not in my books. the aircraft is assets and must be vigilantly protected.
now if you are unreserved, the risks of extremists in quest of invaluable footage may be still rewarding.
confidence in experienced flying will set the extremities undertaken.
e.g., the ozone concentration oxidizes electronic exposed surfaces, faster if hot.
thus distance from the impinging waterfall ozone is required to protect interior surfaces that the craft "breathes" continuously. how distanced? fivefold is safe relative to the total shroud

Every thing you need is in the lower left corner of your display.

If you cannot see your drone then you have flown it too far away.

It’s on your telemetry, it’s measured in green bars, it’s right at the top beside the RC icon, how you position your antenna, using 5.8 ghz keep them at 90 degrees, on 2.4 ghz one stop back about 75 degrees, for best results always have the back of your antennas facing aircraft, unless if your craft is directly above, for this lay antenna flat facing aircraft.

I can see the giant surfing wave APPROACHING me. That's at a distance of several football fields.
But I just can't see the craft even close as two-thirds football field.

Just poking humor but from a realistic standpoint accommodating the disabled American citizen (NONE sight).
What? Audio coaching for the blind?
By sticks?
Seeing is believing.

So dji will develop it.
If gharmin succeeded, then dji will debut it for applications for disabled people?
