    Inconsistent Acceleration / Top Speed

    My gf caught Covid, then passed it to me, so I have had a lot more time in the past month or so to fly my drone consistently. My flight skills have gotten better and better as a result. By no stretch am I good, but I have gotten good enough that over the past bit, I am intentionally flying...

    Inconsistent Acceleration / Top Speed

    I think I had tried turning off obstacle avoidance, but was not aware of VPS. I'll go back out and test away! Thanks for sticking with this!

    Inconsistent Acceleration / Top Speed

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/a4taqvv3612wjh7/20-08-04-02-20-06_FLY020.DAT?dl=0 I've been enjoying a few days of COVID-19, but I finally managed to take a look at a recent flight that I tested a few different scenarios. At high altitude without any surrounding obstacles, the drone accelerates...

    Inconsistent Acceleration / Top Speed

    Before I originally posted, I had noticed this delayed acceleration/top speed and tried to narrow down when/why it was occurring. I am definitely flying it in confined spaces when compared to, for example, 100m up with no obstacles; however, there are times when I have placed it in "exactly" the...

    I'm using the smart controller. Maybe that is the difference It hasn't shown any updates required recently.

    Inconsistent Acceleration / Top Speed

    There definitely does seem to be some correlation between the aileron and full activation of the drone pitch. Thanks for pointing that out. It took me a while to realize that I already had the .dat files. The naming is not quite the same as the Flight Records, but this one seems to have the...

    Inconsistent Acceleration / Top Speed

    I misread your Mavic Flight Log Retrieval and Analysis Guide initially. It took me a few re-reads of your post to realize that I could actually pull the logs from the M 2. Thanks for the nudge to look at it again. I believe I am looking at the right parameters. My take is this: 1. I slowly...

    Inconsistent Acceleration / Top Speed

    I had noticed this previously but attributed it to not understanding the collision avoidance algorithm or my garbage flying skills. Now that I am (slowly) improving, I'm not sure what the inconsistencies are are actually related to. When I accelerate, occasionally the drone increases slowly up...

    I saw your post about trying to get a greater descent rate for filming skiers. I'm finally getting good enough at flying while filming skiers, but the descent rate simply won't keep up on big mountain shots. Did you ever figure out how to mod the settings to be able to keep up with skiers? Any...
