So I got a action camera mount for my Air 3 and wanted to try it out with my Insta360x3. After mounting and activating everything, I waited for GPS lock which never came but did get 8-10 satellites. Really wanting to try this I went ahead and took off. I did realize that the camera was interfering or blocking the gps signal but was hoping that once up in the air more sats would acquire. Nope, depending on the orientation of the drone I got between 7-11 sats. Once up in the air it was rock solid. Flu it around no farther than 50 meters and 10 meters above the ground but it responded normally. Didn’t try a RTH. Got some unique video. Tried it the next day when more sats were up and did get a GPS lock with 14 sats. Usually I’ll get around 20 or so so the camera does affect the GPS. Not sure if I would try it again without getting the lock, especially if I went any distance or height.
So is there any danger of the drone flying off into oblivion or will it just act erratically? Is this what they call ATTI mode?
