Perhaps people need to work on their flying skills more and are getting themselves all mixed up orientation wise and can't recover to a state where bringing their phantom back without it is possible.
Perhaps you need to work on not making assumptions and criticizing people just because they don't think and act exactly the same way as you?
ok now that we've gotten the smartassery out of the way, I'll be serious. Failsafe is a feature. A feature that will, when utilized, bring your phantom back overhead then begin a descent. Who are you to criticize people who choose to utilize the feature voluntarily? Maybe not everyone has a nice FPV system? Maybe not everyone is as skilled as you. Maybe the wind blows or someone makes a mistake, maybe they're irresponsible or just plain lazy (me). Does it matter? It's a Return To Home feature and it's their Phantom. What point is there creating a thread like this? To try to let everybody know you're better than them? That seems to be your point.
Failsafe is effectively a RTH autopilot. I'm personally a bit annoyed with the forced 2m/s descent rate in the latest firmware, I know how to descend to avoid vrs and I think descent rate limit should be a user defined feature just like the height and distance limits. If I'm 200 meters or more up in the air, at MAX descent rate that's over a minute and a half of pure, boring descent. I choose to trigger failsafe (via the switch) and let the Phantom do some of that work for me. If it's there, why NOT use it? Whenever I want, I flip the switch back and resume normal control. Where's the harm in that? I do agree with a previous poster that turning OFF the RC isn't the proper way to do it, hence why DJI gave us the option in the assistant software.
Am I RELYING on it to return my Phantom safely? No I'm choosing to. What business is it of yours? (hint: none) and before you say what business is it of mine, I'm not the one who created a trolling thread trying to belittle people. Nothing about your post was constructive.
Do you have the same criticism for people who enable Naza mode and then need HL to bring it back?
