No people have been getting errors thrown at them with VPS on, many have turned this setting off while flying outdoors for this reason. I am about to post something on this subject regarding to these error messages so keep an eye on it.
Not seen that thread, doubt it will have been to do with FPS tho, we have all ready seen a few issues regarding VPS, and i posted a video of the exact same thing happening to someone landing it with VPS on a couple of weeks ago.
Do a pre station flight at 1 feet above grass until the battery runs out. If everything is clear charge it again and then before flying over beach, lake or water do a weather checklist for perfect flying conditions. Never fly directly in sunlight, especially over water always have a spotter with you, sometimes you will lose FPV signal or line of sight. Complete a full flight checklist. And the most important of all, get insurance for your drone, because if you follow all the steps correctly and it still crashes in the water it ether is a pilot error, or a malfunction at that point.
That is a myth...my 3rd flight with P3 i took it down about 10-12" off the ground at the exact point were the water was meeting the sand.....not a twitch....spent half that flight flying a foot or so off the ground right over the area where land and see meet....flew fast, flew slow, hovered etc. ...not a glitch......same flight i also flew 10 inches or so over the grass to a ledge or cliff that drops down about 8 feet then the beach is below....not a single glitch......it didn't drop altitude trying to maintain 10" or any of some of the other myths I've heard.Ok so my question is. Should certainly turn of vps when flying over water or is that a myth.
Here's a little footage.....
No. You must control the altitude as needed.Would the sensor allow it to ride the slope upwards and gain altitude as needed?
Is that because the sensor(s) are downward looking and not on all sides? That would be an upgrade. Sensors on all sides and a "buffer" mode of sorts. A protective sensor bubble to concentrate more on the cam work in that situation and not put the drone in harm's way (as much). I'd be reluctant to try that without loads of practice and that type of geography is not represented in my area ;-)No. You must control the altitude as needed.
