    New to drones and a channel like this is fantastic! I really enjoy your delivery of the information and it helps to see I'm not alone in my initial nervousness to fly lol. Bought a DJI Mini 3 about a week ago and still practicing joystick moves to get smooth control of the drone.

    I have owned drones as a hobby flier, for almost 7 years, just flying around my own neighborhood ,not bothering anybody ,but lately with all the rules they have come up with, it sounds more complicated than when I had my commercial helicopter license. MY Q500 4K homes in on the transmitter ,not the take off spot, on return to home it will come back, land and shut down with no input from me. I enjoyed flying and see it as a small plastic toy, not a full size airplane, like the rules seem to see them. I have not flown them in over a year because of all the scary rules. I am 75 years old now and it seems like every time I find a hobby I enjoy, they regulate it out of my budget.

    Another tip for more control when landing is switching the fly mode to cinema on the last few feet. This allows for smaller and smoother moves to get it to land on the pad in case it's a bit off.

    Precision landing is not based on visual information but on GPS positioning. The reason for hovering over the landing spot is to give time for the Drone to calculate it's position by using the avalable satelites in the area. The more satelites it finds , better define the landing position.

    • @51Drones

      Nope. The final 33 feet of descent is determined by contrast detection. GPS only gets you up to that point, after that the sensors take over and match the contrast it captured at liftoff

There have been several times where there isn't a lot of spare room available on return and I frequently fly till I get the return to home low battery message. I counted contrast 13 times (a great way to get people to pay attention) I live in Cabin John Maryland and the leaves are coming back, almost time to start filming some town Reels. Thanks again I always look forward to your shows.
