    Return To Home altitude question.

    My OS is old tried and true. I avoid updates. Others on this site may be of more help.

    Return To Home altitude question.

    RTH at 98 ft occurs 1) when it is set to 98 2) when set to Novice Mode or 3) when RTH activated within 100 feet horizontal to home point. Do not fly in NO FLY ZONES. Planes often fly near treetop height near airports.

    New "LOW NOISE" Propellers for AUTEL EVO II

    I hope Honey Bees will ignore the new pitch.

    Bees

    Thanks. Camera - Canon XA10 shot at 1080 30p, color corrected with DaVinci Resolve. Outdoor noise suppresion from civilization was difficult. Render audio codec Linear PCM is much better than AAC.

    Bees

    On our maiden flight of EVO II, my first hour flying a drone, it was immediately surrounded by a conspiracy of resident Ravens. Then it attracted a swarm of Honey Bees 150 feet above the ground. Honey Bees are a persistent problem. The drone sounds like a swarm of bees. It seems the bees...

    Some thoughts for those new to making videos.

    Like cranes and dollies, drones are just a tool in the box, good for 10 second establishing shots, or longer in documentaries when content is more important. Drone shots look good in NOVA and photojournalism, 15 to 20 seconds max.

    GPS inaccurate home position warning

    I take off in a forest clearing isolated from power lines and houses. I have had no warnings with 11 satellites and 3 or 4 bars with good RTH. I have had warnings with 18 satellites and 3 or 4 bars with poor RTH (+/- 30ft). The warnings have been prescient.

    GPS inaccurate home position warning

    I ran some RTH tests today. Sometimes I get 11 sats with strong signals and no warnings, and good RTH. Other times more 16+ sats with poor signals, warnings, and poor RTH +/- 30ft accuracy.

    Lens Flare

    Flare fog even with over shoulder sun. Consumer drones good for photojournalism. Not a good choice for quality photos.

    Lens Flare

    I agree lens flare is horrible. Consumer camera.

    Phone call during flight

    I have the Google map app. I would like to use Google maps. The iOS Autel Explorer app will not allow it. No option to choose.
