Litchi waypoint mission collision

[ip_droning]

Today had my Air 2S taking off to a waypoint mission into the obstacle overhead. Cost me two cracked props.
It's a second time i notice that collision avoidance doesn't work with Litchi (first time being when drone flew into the long grass under Litchi control).

If obstacle avoidance is turned on, it will work exactly the same whether you fly with Litchi or the DJI app.
But OA is not magic and has limitations.
A list of situations that can be problematic for OA takes up half of page 18 in the manual.

The best obstacle avoidance is to avoid flying your drone toward obstacles.

What was the obstacle? Things like overhead wires can be hard to detect.

Yes obstacle avoidance continues to work with Litchi. I have had three crashes, all using Littchi, and each time I figured out that the problem was in my planning of the mission. I do like using the Mission Hub to plan the mission but there is an advantage of using the Waypoint feature offered by DJI and that is flying the mission and creating waypoints as you go. This will reduce the risk of something going wrong during the mission.

I'm not sure that the OA will detect hay or the finest tree branches...
