Loving the waypoints! Just went out 3 3/4 miles then back.

Title says it all. Landed with 26% battery left. Ignore the time thats not correct. Rendering the video now and will upload it shortly and post the link.

EDIT: Here is the long range video from this flight. Youtube is still processing it so give it a little time.

Looks great. What app is that?

 

[prostreetcamaro]

dji ultimate flight. Its not for everybody. You have to use the developer firmware that is posted here to use the waypoints. It is all still basically in beta so some things dont work yet etc etc but waypoints work great.

Does it work with the advanced model?

From what I have read it does work with the advanced version.

What happens if you are using waypoints and the controller loses connectivity of the P3? Does it keep going until it reaches the waypoint or will it return to home?

 

[Miguel Silva]

Have you tryed POI?

It continues the route.

I haven't tried it yet but read it works well.

so the firmware updates the controller ?

 

[joelireland]

Prostreet - do you (or anyone) know if the Dev firmware have any issues in excess of the current public firmware when running DJI pilot app? I am very interested in trying GS out but don't want to risk having other restrictions or issues when flying normally with the DJI Pilot app.

Is that flight line of sight for you?

 

[joelireland]

Dottat4 - It looks to me like it is a radius around the home point - not a NFZ.

Yes the bird and controller.

There are some Fix's in this version. Works great with the pilot app. I haven't found any issues with it.

Maybe if I used a telescope. As you can see I have virtually nothing around me that it could do any damage to if it flew off on its own. Would be my loss.

I have it with the advanced model...works just fine

Unless the something you run into has wings/rotors. It's probably not worth the risk for you to establish web/internet evidence of this should you ever run into anything.

As a pilot also, these are the type of things we don't put out there publicly.

I am talking about there is nothing but water fields or trees for it to fall on. I won't do any autonomous flights over 400'. That video was 300'. When it becomes law I will follow the law.

That's ridiculous. 90% of all my flights are waypoint flights, I use Trackimo,

As a pilot also, k

That's BS, you would have more intelligence.
