So what are all the automated functions the DJI Phantom 3 able to do? I got the P3 Standard, will it do all the functions the advance & pro will do?
So far just been practicing in the park keeping it within the field I am in, maybe taking it a little further out to check on a nearby tennis court or pool at the park. But I haven't tried flying it 1-2 minutes away from me at full speed to the point it's out of your field of view or a tiny speck in the distance. Or flying over terrain like ocean or mountain How do you know if you can trust the thing to not lose signal? I want to eventually do a flight like those cool videos where people take their drones out 5 minutes out of their sight to look at a cruise ship or fly to another side of a mountain.
The basic one is landing it at home. I've done it once and it worked fine when in a large field and not taking it super far. I haven't flown it far enough to really see how smart it is on coming home. But one time I tried sending it home, it ascended 100 feet in the air, then moved forward towards a different home point I didn't set. It may have registered a home where it landed, but then I picked it up and move to a different part of the park. So it went the wrong way and didn't come back to me with the controller. So had to cancel it, but it was kind of scary that it was going where I didn't intend it to go.
Have not tried the plotting points on GPS and letting it self fly. How relieable is this feature and how do I be sure it's not going to hit a tree?
Also have not tried follow me or 360 on point of interest.
