Thanks Jamie, but I don't think it's planes I need to worry about, Some of these trees are around 200 feet tall, and we can legally fly up to 400 feet above them, and the trees next to the water tanks are more than 400 feet higher than me! 😅
It sure does seem like the mini pro 4 is the perfect drone for navigating through and around those tall trees. Keep up the good work! Enjoy your videos.
Thanks for sharing Gary. I also failed trying to plan a waypoint flight circling my house through my yards at about 4-8’ but any obstacle avoidance warning aborts the flight. I haven’t tried to plan the waypoint flight turning off obstacle avoidance. It may not allow waypoint flights without using obstacle avoidance. I don’t think I would risk it anyway. Thanks again for sharing your experiences. 👍🏻😎
Thanks for your comment, Ken. Good question about if you can do a waypoint mission with OA turned off, but I wouldn't want to try it either, especially in the mountains! That OA saved my drone! I checked the elevation of those water tanks on Google Earth, and they are about 200 feet higher than my deck. But I forgot to allow for the trees which are about 200 feet taller! 😬
Yeah, I nearly had to change my britches! 😱 I guess the mountains aren't a good place to try your first waypoint mission. I checked the elevation of those tanks on Google Earth, but I neglected to allow for the 200 foot tall trees behind them! Fortunately, the OA kicked in and save hope.
Hahaha, that's what you think, Randy! That scared the crap outa me! I tried to go higher, but the elevation was locked in on a Waypoint mission. Fortunately, the obstacle avoidance kicked in and halted the mission before it hit any trees! Gulp! 😱 I guess the mountains ain't a good place to try your first waypoint mission. 😅
Yes, beautiful around here, but yes, I need to be more careful!. I have a 2-year plan with 4 replacements, but I still don't want to use them up. I still have my Mini 2, but no OA on that one. I've only used one replacement on that one too.
Good flight Gary! Watch that altitude don't want you to hit a plane!😅

Thanks John, yes, it is a great drone! Glad you are enjoying my videos. I'm having fun making them too, but kinda scary at times! 😱😅

Dang it man those trees were close! Lol.

@@gama45lol. Did you make that mission up on the controller before launching Hope?
@@WeretheRoberts Yes, sitting in my recliner. lol
@@gama45 smart man. Hahaha
Yump'n - Yi-many! You ain't afraid lol

Well, planning is everything...
Yes, and I sure didn't plan that very well, did I?
Yes sr, I have friends up the G, V, beautiful, but G, you only get a couple care fresh from dji, you about to use it again, NICE,
