Landing Pad.. Won't auto land?

[plrogers1126]

I bought a flathat landing pad. I like it allot but my mavic doesn't. On come home or fly's to the pad hovers about four feet above it and says not safe to land. I can pull left stick down and it resists for a moment then lands. It centers up the pad perfectly but doesn't want to land. Anyone know of a workaround?

I have the same problem mine won't autoland on one of those. The only work around that I know
of is a home remedy. Basically I took a piece of old carpet and cut a square for testing purposes, maybe a bit smaller than the landing pad. Works like a charm, I have 10 out of 10 landings.

Mine works fine but it is bright and the sensors do need good light...

No that's a picture inside its carry pack. The pad is the brightly colored circle with the x in it only the black around it is the package

How did you take off ??

This is what I do

Start the Mavic
Wait for satellites
Wait for Home Point updated message
Take off vertically to no higher than 10 meters and wait 5 to 10 seconds then I head off.

Waited for satellite and home point message. Auto takeoff hovered a couple seconds then flew away. Did this for 3 batteries worth of flying. It had no issues knowing where home was it hovered directly above the center x but would not land.

that's odd .... knock up something with a pattern on it and try that as a test ?? and if that does not work disable the landing protection option and test again.

I can always turn it upside down the bottom is white. Seems a little sad though I think it's a cool looking pad.

And that's what happens when you buy something because its cool rather then functional. LOL Don't mind me though I tend to say the same thing about iProducts also.

I bet the busy pattern looks like 3D to the downward cameras and it sees it as obstructed landing zone.

You can just disable the "landing protection" setting within the GO app's sensor settings.

 

[Anthony]

Let us know how you get on with the landing protection disabled.

Lock at the sensor settings page, think under "advanced".

Note that for Precision Landing to work properly, you need to hover at around 10m, not the auto takeoff height of around 1.2m.

However, I'm not sure this would be the cause of the problem. It could be as IADRN43 suggested... The busy pattern makes it look like an unsuitable place to land.

I've been told that the Landing Protection option isn't present on iOS. I can't verify this, as I use Android and I do have the option available.
