Obstacle avoidance

Happyonmyhill · May 11, 2020

Anyone have any idea how fast the air2 obstacle avoidance reacts. For example (I’m not going to test this myself

if you were flying full speed at a block wall would the sensor react in time to fly over it? And a follow up - assume an unlimited height obstacle. Say a 200 ft cliff. Would the drone just stop and climb vertically until reaching altitude limit?

Manual says it works in normal mode, which is limited to 12 m/s. Also says will work in RTH unless you use sticks to go faster than 12m/s.

Makes sense. So no kamikaze 40mph flights near objects?. I wouldn’t do that regardless but it’s nice to know limits when conditions warrant. Thanks.

Not to worry, give it a couple weeks and there will be a YouTube video of someone crashing the drone as hard as they can.

So from my short testing time, it seems like it works VERY well.

I can't say that I have tried to run my MA2 into a wall at full speed but, if you check out this video I did showing a gimbal overloaded error you can kinda see how good the APAS 3.0 is.
Flying through the trees and under the oak, I was just holding the stick forward, no yaw or spin. Check it out!
