Found this with a search, and although an older thread, thought best to post up here.
The Spark is an excellent small drone for flying in tight areas like forest floor, around tree trunks, inside buildings etc.
Having loss of signal RTH is just a problem with tree canopy, and also I expect flying inside buildings etc, if the wifi is interrupted.
Although of course you would always follow the drone as closely as possible to avoid signal loss, wifi can be disrupted and in these cases a Spark is then susceptible to rising into a tree canopy, or building structure.
Hover may or may not have been available in Go4 at some stage, but why can hover option not be there for pilots to choose for some flights ?
I can see that a safe 15 mins flight time of the Spark can be a problem with battery drain with hover option set, but it should be up to a drone pilot to choose what's best for each flight and location.
If nearby like one should be flying such places, you can just get closer, or move a little, to regain signal and control, and fly on or return to pilot.
Is it possible for the hover option in case of loss of signal to be made available at some future time ?
I'd like to have the choice for flights I consider hover the best option.
Another option might be to be able to turn off RTH altogether where loss of wifi signal occurs. |
