    Obstacle Avoidance Fail

    As for substituting another person, I’m guessing that the drone is looking more at shape rather than specific recognizable features. I’ve had it track my dog (I don’t recommend that if your dog likes to run through the woods). When I step into the shot, it seems to ignore me, or once it got...

    Obstacle Avoidance Fail

    Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining at all. I totally get that computers AND software are not infallible.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I did have dull colors on (gray/black), and it was a cloudy day, but bright. The altitude of 3.3 feet was for the duration of the flight, until of course the drone dropped to the ground after hitting the tree.

    Obstacle Avoidance Fail

    My first post! I'm fairly new to flying the Mavic Pro, and I do love it, but...I decided to hike in the woods with the Mavic, mostly to get a feel of the controls, and I was using obstacle avoidance of course, and it worked perfectly. Towards the end I switched to active track and had the drone...
