Sports Mode Newbie

[sp0nge]

Haven’t flown in sports mode yet. Did fly over the water a little bit. Starting to feel more calm with the nerves. So just find a big field and let her loose. Any advise from the MP pilots. Here’s a pic

of one of my flights.

Don't fly low in sports mode. It will drop a few feet.

I've used sports mode only twice and the reason was common: Get the bird back to me in an unexpected wind gush when nothing else works.

great location looks to be! nice comp/shutter speed if no nd [emoji327]

my suggestion would be to read the manual to master the limits of your aircraft in your flying environment, how it will affect your sensors, and what you will do to recover based on your mastery of remote piloting

Is that the Jupiter Inlet?

Advise:
• Forward anti-collision sensors are turned off.
• You have to allow for greater breaking and turning distances.
• Don't fly close to the ground. As mentioned above it could dip a bit. Also, although it may look flat there may be a slight rise in ground level over a few hundred feet. You can fly higher and have the camera zoomed in for the same visual effect.
• Will drain the battery much quicker.
• Puts extra strain on the systems and the pilot.

For an in-between speed mode you could just turn off the forward sensors. It will allow you to fly faster and give you more flying time than Sport mode.
