Hello,
I am a newbie to drone world. Mavic Air is my first decent size/quality drone. I am facing few issues while flying it and have some quick questions.
Notes about my flying
Thanks to everyone in advance!
I am a newbie to drone world. Mavic Air is my first decent size/quality drone. I am facing few issues while flying it and have some quick questions.
Notes about my flying
- To feel safe in my learning days, I have a max distance and altitude set to 50 m (164 ft).
- RTH = ~20-30 m depending on where I fly.
- Am using the controller with DHI Go app on my Google Pixel XL phone
- When using Quickshots mode: Dronie, Boomerang and Helix fail midway with an error on my screen "max!" in yellow color. There is no other text or indication of anything wrong.
- APAS also gets disabled at this time
- I set the distance of dronie mode to be within my max distance (that is, I set it to ~20-30m)
- I have tried it in an open field with no interference
- The drone hovers in place, when the error shows up
- When using active track, the drone follows me, and after a while stops following me, with a message in the app - "Entering Restricted Mode"
- I was flying in a park, with no known restrictions, etc. The DJI app doesn't show any restrictions issues in that region
- The area where I fly is reported as within 5 miles of airport, when I use B4UFLY, (although its more than 5 miles) and I submit all the necessary information
- I was in a different park yesterday to see if that makes a difference, however, I was receiving a lot of interference in that park. It was at a point that the video in the app was lagging to an unusable point
- This was near a basketball court and a fencing around it.
- Video Recording (4k)
- When I played the video recorder in 4k @ 30fps, it was somewhat laggy on my Desktop PC. It may be that my PC (processor or grpahics) was not handling 4k properly
- Question: What would be a decent quality capture mode for taking videos. I am not too much inclined to get 4k quality
- Should I do 2k or 1080p? What frame rate?
- When I played the video recorder in 4k @ 30fps, it was somewhat laggy on my Desktop PC. It may be that my PC (processor or grpahics) was not handling 4k properly
- Can I fly this drone indoors, by turning off Obstacle avoidance, may be? I tried it, but kept getting compass calibration errors etc. Is there a way to override all of it?
Thanks to everyone in advance!
