Hello All, I am new to this particular forum as well to the Mavic. As I have been waiting for my new Mavic 2 Zoom to arrive, I have been studying a downloaded user's manual. One thing that sparked my interest was the drone triggered auto land feature. I knew about the low battery trigger, but I was unaware of the high wind trigger or perhaps any others. I really have two questions:
1) Why does DJI have an auto land which cannot be cancelled? If for safety reasons it seems to me to make no sense. If it falls or lands on someone they could be hurt in either case (I do know about the ability to maneuver the drone). It makes more sense to me to at least try and bring it home especially if flying over water. I sure I am not the first person to wonder about this. I'm sorry if this issue has been discussed before as my search could not find it.
2) . Since DJI will probably not make changes to auto descend, my second question deals more with the maneuverability feature of the drone while auto descending. Can any tell me what the rate of descent of the drone during auto descent? The reason for my asking deals with determining how far a pilot can move the drone toward home during descent.
Thanks in Advance, Paul
