What’s a beginner drone, is it a drone with more redundancy then maybe beginners should start on a Matrice 200, it doesn’t matter what a beginner starts with it’s still going to crash if he doesn’t learn to fly it correctly, OP for instance is not a beginner and he has crashed his twice and both times through his own incompetence.
Drones don’t crash themselves people crash them. I do agree that there maybe a problem with something in the drone or FW bringing some down involuntary but what are the other problems, I’d say a good guess , it’s those flying them.
Haven’t seen many crashed in to walls trees etc certainly no more than any other dji new drone and I would say less than I seen with Mavic pro, so OA I don’t think would have made any difference, in fact I can’t remember once using OA on any of my drones.
So that leaves wind, well it’s recommended not to fly in winds above 8M/S and I for one and I see above jjb seconds this if you stick to this then you won’t lose drone to the wind. I think the biggest mistakes new users are having with this drone is not paying attention to its limits and I include people like the OP who has also been guilty of flying his drone in high winds, helping no one particularly those who don’t know anything about drones and are just beginning.
If you give someone a drone and tell him NOT to fly in winds over 8m/s ,and he chances his arm because he thinks he’s flying the M2 he’s read about, and it gets him home safely, what do you think this guy would do with a drone if you told him not to fly in winds over 12m/s, easy he will because that’s what he does.
With the very big exception of craft descending mini flys just fine while some say it doesn’t have power, it has as much power as the spark and some older bigger drones, so having more power might help in certain situations people get themselves into , but they need to pay for that power and it’s most likely that won’t be enough for them.
Where does the OP get off telling those who are flying their drones within the parameters that this drone is not for them, in fact I’d say somewhere in the very high percentages are flying and enjoying them just fine.
Some now saying app is crap, that’s rubbish app is really good with almost no problems, there are niggly bits that users are complaining about particularly new users, like landing within 20m this could be fixed With a FW update, problem with radar on app, I think dji should start teaching users to use small triangle on map to know where craft is and what heading it’s on.
The one big thing people should realize with this drone is, it’s the lowest end drone dji make, it doesn’t have great specs or redundancy, it only copes in wind parameters set down in your manual, and I would say that it should nearly be kept within VLOS or very close to it.
But I would say the likelihood of anyone reading this and thinking they got the wrong drone, that’s rubbish, just look to the OP above and realize part of his problem is he’s crashed his through his own incompetence, try avoiding that . He's also wrong about batteries, and lastly I've seen many many people crash phantoms Mavic pro Air and M2. |
