It’s been raining pretty steady all morning, and the cows in the neighboring pasture have been more vocal than usual, so I put the Mavic Pro drone up (in the rain, yikes!) to run out and check on the cows …
… then climbed back up for the return home flight, but found the visibility in the rain to be a little worrisome, so I just hit the RTH (return to home) autopilot feature and had the drone fly itself back to the launch/landing pad.
It’s pretty damn amazing how much technology they’ve crammed in such a small drone. Flies itself home by GPS, then lands itself using image recognition and sonar/radar/visual obstacle avoidance.
