New update DJI Mini 4 Pro V01.00.0800 with problems Focus Track & Precision Landing

[@shaunthedrone]

I went out during the week to answer some questions on the DJI Mini 4 Pro and when I came home there was a new update on the DJI Mini 4 Pro, so had to go out again to test the drone and found new two problems Possible another new update coming soon

There’s nothing wrong with focus track. The reason it couldn’t pick you up was the distance. It has to be between 4-15 meters for it to work correctly (it’s in the manual) For humans that is. It has to recognise you. Cars and boats are different. Much larger and easy to see. 👍 had lots of comments on my video about it

[@shaunthedrone]

Many thanks for your comment Nobby and many thanks for watching

[@psoup216]

Fact. Actually the manual states 4-20m (even better than 15m) for people.

[@johnkeo358]

If the RTH beep is driving you mad, you can mute it in the top menu

[@shaunthedrone]

Many thanks for your help John

Nice testing Shawn, the new update seems to be working pretty good. Thanks for sharing.

I find that the precision landing works better when I follow the instructions than when I don't. Yeah, I know. Instructions are a pain. We're told to take the drone straight up to 7 meters or so, then let it hover there for a short time before heading out on our mission. I think it's sort of memorizing the view in the optical downward sensor. It's interesting to watch the drone on it's descent on RTH. It might come down somewhat off line to the pad, then correct when it gets to that hover height. GPS gets kit close, then the optical view takes it the rest of the way.

[@shaunthedrone]

You didn't have the preset option selected you had Optimal selected. That's probably why the drone didn't raise up to 80 metres & stayed at 32 metres.

Or OPtionAL as he kept saying , they do do large print 😂

@6:05, you have it set to OPTIMAL instead of PRESET for the RTH. EDIT: Neverind lol... you switched it.

[@medwynvermin8772]

I seem to recall that precision landing needs you to get up above 7m at take off but I could be wrong. I put the Optional/Optimal down to glare on the screen. Cheers for testing.

[@A2Z1Two3]

I have the same problem with the font size , I believe you CAN enlarge it.

[@jamesjohnson6924]

Waiting on my Mini 4 pro to arrive, just a couple more days to go. I could be wrong, but I thought when the RTH is set to "OPTIMISED" the drone WILL NOT use your preset RTH height, the drone just uses it's avoidance sensors to chart its OWN RTH height and adjust it as needed or necessary to return safely.

[@shaunthedrone]

Correct James, just showing you with the question set on Preset instead on Optimised - many thanks for watching

[@hummerzdca]

Great post. I always wonder what distance from the Home Point does it have to be so that the virtual RTH portion will make it ascend to the RTH altitude? I know when I’ve been witching 15-20 it won’t go up quite as high depending on the distance. Also: I 99.0% hand launch and recover by hand. Got tired of the dust kicked up getting it dirty. Blessing Young Sir. Thanks for sharing.🇺🇸

[@shaunthedrone]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching

[@paulyfalzoni1753]

When doing focus track test, the drone camera was in manual focus. Maybe that could effect the auto tracking.

[@shaunthedrone]

Many thanks for watching Paul

[@duncangatland6021]

Maybe the precision landing is not being achieved due to how close it is to the Home Point when commanded to return to home. I noted this on occasion and it appears to be related to a the short distance from the Home Point.

[@shaunthedrone]

Many thanks for your comment and I must do some more on the precision landing in another video - coming soon

[@garylinnane917]

Focus track not working because you have probably got dark clothing on, and the drone probably thinks you're a shadow and not a person. Wearing colours that stand out more, I think the drone at height would then be able to pick you up. It's like a point of interest when you're trying to lock onto a green tree with green grass in the background 😊

Many thanks for watching Gary

[@Piotr-4ask]

OK :) good drone firmware update test! We have a new version of DJI Fly for iOS v1.15.5. DJI can skip the numbers so that DJI Fly for Android and iOS have the same number. Now we don't know what they fixed on Android and what we fixed on iOS :(

[@shaunthedrone]

It's pity DJI can't give info on both Android and IOS when new updates

[@fj1100mark]

You had returned to home set to optimal in which case it doesn’t rise to the RTH height. It just finds the best way back. I don’t think it actually says optional. I’m pretty sure that says optimal

[@shaunthedrone]

Many thanks for watching

[@GCsVidz]

You need preset selected for it to RTH at your set altitude.

[@shaunthedrone]

Many thanks for watching

[@krzysztofmierzejewski]

You are making unnecessary confusion about tracking people's focus. Tracking works properly up to a distance of 15-18 meters. Maybe even a few meters more if the person is wearing contrasting clothing. Read the user manual. For tracking to work properly, you need to point to the cross so that the drone knows what to track among several objects and can maintain the tracked object. It detects cars from a distance because it is a more recognizable object. I have not noticed this function malfunctioning after the update. The second problem you discussed here regarding the RTH altitude results solely from your ignorance. Read the user manual. PRESET is a function that sets the drone at an altitude selected by the pilot, OPTIMAL is a function in which the drone sets its return home altitude.

[@shaunthedrone]

Many thanks for watching

[@harrysimpsonimages]

You've got RTH set to Optimal which i think won't go up to your setting if not needed.

Very interested to hear your take on the DJI Mini Mic

[@shaunthedrone]

Many thanks for watching Duncan - best thing about the Mini Mic is you can store the Dead Cats on the mic in the carry case

[@jebtaifanc56]

On the focus tracking don't you have to confirm by pressing the plus symbol ?

[@shaunthedrone]

Good point, yes you still have to draw a box around you

[@mikebiermans4273]

I tried flying earlier today, and it refused to take off with the larger power baterry. It always gave a notification about the battery, but it would let me fly in the past. I now have an 89€ battery for the garbage bin

[@shaunthedrone]

Hi Mike, send a message to DJI Support, it may be something they missed out - good luck

[@Moto_GeeTee]

Hello shaun, before all the latest updates, on both, aircraft and rc2, there's this problem on rocket shot. The gimbal tilts up after doing the rocket shot as the aircraft is going down. Now, after the update, of both aircraft and rc2. The problem still persist. I am wondering, if you guys are experiencing this too? Also have the issue on that active track or focus track. It misses its human subject when the drone is high. And even cannot track walking subjects unlike before.

[@shaunthedrone]

Many thanks for your comment and I will check the Rocket shot and see if there is a problem I will make a video testing this), many thanks for watching

[@Moto_GeeTee]

@ thank you shaun. Safe flying.

Does the dji mini 3 pro have the view of the rear back camera like the 4 pro?

[@shaunthedrone]

No Vision Assist on the Mini 3 Pro like the Mini 4 Pro - many thanks for watching

[@RJ2A81]

I usually have the RTH height preset. So does optimal just try navigating its own height and path?

[@johnkeo358]

Usually, it's own height when set to optimal. Just make sure your obstacle sensors are on, I can't recall if it's on by default when doing RTH while you're in sports mode

[@shaunthedrone]

Usually at the height your are flying for the RTH

[@RJ2A81]

@@johnkeo358 Thank you. I’ve always just set my own height depending on where I am. Never left optimal on.

[@johnkeo358]

@RJ2A81 for me, it depends on the situation. I usually use optimal since I'm generally flying high anyway but I'll switch to manual height if I don't feel comfortable with obstacles getting too close.

How do you get the remote control screen recording. I tried putting SD into the remote clicked the screen recording option on the remote. But I can’t find the footage on the SD card that’s in inserted in the remote.

When you remove the SD card from the RC2, look for Movies and the screen saves are there

Since I last updated to 1.15.0. When I go forward, the drone is bouncing up and down, but it doesn't affect the video.. When doing this, the drone is so much louder and annoying. I'll go out one day, and it's fine, and another day, it would happen on and off. I had this issue with an earlier update. Once I get the drone working perfectly. I'll forget about updating again after that 😊
