Hey guys,
New member here, so i'll do a short intro. Name's Graham, new to the drone game and loving it. do my own photography and have done for many many years now and after a stint away from motion, on a snow trip over the last 6 months my gf hooked me up with a hero3 and I started to gain interest in motion and editing again.
I've picked up the DSLRPros P2 kit, so far, so good. However the other day I went out for an afternoon shoot with a good mate of mine and his boat.
The drone worked fine for the most part, but twice during the shoot, I couldn't send it toward me, we had to drive after it. It would hold altitude and I could control the altitude without a problem. When it was facing me I couldn't send it forward, it would just stay still, when I turned it around I couldn't go backward (to bring it toward me) I could only send it forward.
The normal flight lights were on, and intermittently would change to one set solid red and one set flashing red, then it would come back to green again with no issue.
It was a bit of a scare, as I wasn't really sure what the cause was.
Later on the drive back, we noticed another guy flying a proper RC helicopter over the lake. My mates boat is a Super Air Nautique and the speed and control for the boat is mostly done with its OSD which also has a GPS module that shows him where he's been. Interestingly enough, there was a fault with a crows-flight line going across land (clearly didn't happen, we were in a boat)
I'm wondering if you think that there was some kind of interference from the helicopter, the boat, both or if it was just a 'hole'.
A point to add, I had it over the local beaches and sent it out quite a ways off shore and had no problem at all getting it back.
Thoughts?
