I flew a mapping mission (double grid) over a small sand quarry today with my Matrice 600 Pro and standard X3 camera. Weather: overcast, no wind. Altitude: 25 meters. Capture mode: fast. Flying speed: max. White balance: cloudy. Newest iOS version installed.
Two observations:
- Max speed was not what I thought it would be… it didn’t go faster than 3 m/s. I actually saw a turtle on the ground going faster…
- When flying the first half of the double grid, it captured nicely according to the “fast” way, so no stopping for taking pictures. Then, when it commenced the second part, flying perpendicularly on the first tracks, it decided to stop for each picture all of a sudden. This was unacceptable, as it was already not going faster than 3 m/s…
- I tried a second double grid mission, but a smaller one, right over a stockpile of sand… guess what? Now it started in “safe” capture mode and after 2 or 3 legs, just went back to “fast” mode again…
- Tapping on the camera button in the top right hand corner gave me a black screen, which got me worried that it wasn’t capturing anything. It did fortunately, but I couldn’t tell…
I never selected safe mode of course… so what could be the problem here?
Cheers!
