Objective: freely fly and focus near half way down a tree while letting autopilot yaw the aircraft.
Settings:
Cruise mode
vertical strategy: joystick
Pitch/roll strategy: joystick
Joystick orientation: aircraft
Yaw strategy: focus
Focus strategy: subject
Subject: POI
General settings:
Min Altitude: 16ft
Altitude priority: 49ft
Calibrated compass in DJI app, closed app.
Opened autopilot.
Selected settings.
Manual take-off.
Flew over top of tree.
Selected "Set with Aircraft Position" to Mark Focus to X and Y coordinates.
Engaged Cruise
Selected fixed operator.
Flew back away from the tree.
Manually tilted gimbal to assign new Z coordinates to focus half way down tree.
Now here's what I had a problem with. I could not fly below the tree. The lowest altitude I could fly according to the telemetry was "22ft." However the actual altitude of the aircraft in relation to ground level, also where I was and where the aircraft took off was about 80ft. I could fly as high as I wanted, but could not fly below "22ft." If you notice in the lower right hand side of the telemetry, it states altimeter reference 2ft. When I switched the Vertical strategy to Altitude, the lowest setting was 20ft.
I'm thinking I've somehow messed up and programmed the aircraft with the wrong altitude reference to where true ground level is and it's not letting me fly below a hard deck or something. I've attached a screen shot of flight.
If you could please help point what I did wrong and how to properly set it up. I've watched the videos till I've turned blue in the face as well as glazed my eyes over in flight school. I'm waiting to hear from he developer as well.
Thank you,
Andrew
