Was flying from a tarmac footpath last night so didn’t want to block the whole thing with a launchpad and given the path was clear of debris just took off straight from the ground.
Coming into land the landing lights came on as expected (love those lights ) and the drone descended as expected but then refused to land. No warnings on Go4 - just resolutely hovered at a couple of feet.
It would seem that the reflection off certain surfaces from the lights causes the drone to decide it’s not a suitable landing spot.
No biggy l, once I was certain I was good to land I just turned off the lights and down she went. Alternatively you can hand-catch or turn off the landing sensors but thought it worth at least feeding back should anyone start panicking.
She lands fine on a pad in the dark btw even with the lights on.
