I'm still getting used to operating this drone. It's coming along, but unfortunately due to weather, most is occurring indoors in large buildings. One main issue I'm having is drawing the box for the Active Track features.
When I touch the screen on my RC 2, the first thing that happens is the focus box pops us, similar to the iphone's yellow focus box. I start tapping and dragging on the subject (me), and all I manage to do is adjust the brightness or move the camera downward on the drone. I have managed a couple times to get the box to actually appear and drag, but there's something I'm doing wrong if I'm getting all this other stuff happening. I have found very little help on this through videos and tutorials.
Second subject is landing gear. I have noticed that the Mini 3 Pro is very close to the ground on it's little stub landing gear. I don't know why it doesn't have the posts under the front rotors like other versions, that seems to me like it would be a big help. I can see where it will be a problem if I was landing in grass or uneven ground and not using a landing pad of some sort. Are landing gear recommended, frowned upon, or what? I saw some feedback that the cheap gear sold on Amazon tends to cant the drone forward a bit, possibly exacerbating the problem. Some think it will cause the drone to take off with forward movement. They look kind of cool, but they do add weight.
Third subject, a strobe light. I have noticed when this little drone gets a ways away from me it does get hard to see. Are strobes recommended, or would the weight of the strobe make this more of a problem? I am obviously not doing night flying until properly licensed.
Thanks for any assistance!
