Once again, many thanks for that. I didn't realize it relied on the smartphones GPS. I did get a chance yesterday evening to try out the IOC function as the home lock function looks really useful. Have to say I didn't have too much success. Initially the home lock seemed to work, but after switching it off to see if normal control resumed and switching back to home lock, pulling the stick back made the PV go off in another direction and not return towards my home location. I tried several times without success. I also tried enabling the Dynamic Home Point in case this also needed to be enabled, but this also didn't help. In fact as I pulled the stick back, the PV would initially move in a straight line then suddenly change direction ~20 degrees. I've not seen erratic behaviour from the PV before so decided to call it a day with this and disable Dynamic Home Point and IOC. I'll have a play when I have a bit more time.
Also, even when I had IOC enabled, toggling the s2 switch didn't change the home point location. Maybe there is a minimum distance the PV needs to be from the original location before I am able to do this. Again something to check out another day.
I did have some success though, I noticed that I did get the 10sec warning when the battery level was low, but no audio warning until it started to return home. I've obviously missed this before. I also proved to myself that I was able to over ride the fail safe return by flipping the s1 switch to Atti.
So all in all she seems to be working OK in GPS, Atti and Failsafe and I'm able to over ride fail safe in an emergency. Other than making sure I set the correct RTH altitude where I intend to film, just in case
, that should be all the functionality I need for this trip. Of course there's always the 'unexpected' , but you can only try to be prepared for that
.
Once again thanks for all your advice,
Best Regards
