MA2 Along the San Antonio River
The smoke around here had eased up, and the temperature was a bit more tolerable this morning, so I got out to fly my Mavic Air 2, and to share a little different part of California. This is along the San Antonio River, just North of where I live.

I'm fairly sure that *parking right on a road junction* here in the UK would be a road traffic violation! Oddly, I don't see that listed here! https://www.lawdonut.co.uk/personal/...penalty-points (I very much enjoyed the trip! ;-) ) |

Does the drone automatically look down to see the landing site? -- Joe Makowiec http://makowiec.org/ Email: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

Does the drone automatically look down to see the landing site? I had moved the gimbal to look down to check on position, but there are some auto functions. When you take off the drone uses GPS and ground mapping to establish its “Return to Home” (RTH) point. Then you have several options, either a full manual return to home & landing, an automatic RTH enabled from the controller & manual landing, an auto RTH & auto controlled landing. If the camera is aimed down for landing, it will rotate back to horizontal & level when close to the ground so that the lens is clear of the ground, and less likely to be damaged. Then there are emergency responses, if for example there is a problem such as a loss of signal between the drone and controller where you can set up to auto RTH & land. -- Regards, Savageduck |

It can be helpful if for some reason your drone goes down, and you need to find it. Anyway, here is the track of yesterday’s flight along the San Antonio River recorded by the DJI Fly app on my iPhone. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work/i-DQPMmTS/0/cc5793ce/X3/IMG_3198-X3.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

Maybe when I have more time on my hands... I have been having more fun with drone photography/videography since I got this DJI Mavic Air 2 on a wild hair whim back in May. I just wanted to try something different that I had never done before. I was prepared to walk away from it if the novelty wore off, but I am thoroughly hooked. Now I just have to polish up my production values with commentary& muzak. -- Regards, Savageduck |
