hi there everyone welcome to my channel today we're going to talk about the number one reason
why i just can't switch to any drone using the dji fly app and the answer is simple
the vps sensor so let's discuss what the vps sensor does
if you guys like any of the information that i'm sharing on my channel or the content please
consider to like comment and subscribe it really helps out the channel so let's get right into it
what is the vps sensor the vps sensor is the visual positioning sensor and you see it on the
bottom right of the screen typically disappears when you go over to 10 meter mark altitude
so as you guys can see i'm going up right now and i've got a height of 4.3 meters and i've got
a vps of the same but take a look what happens as soon as i fly over an object there the vps is not
applicable as you can see it's over 10 meters and now suddenly it's got a vps of 5.5 meters
but my altitude is 16 meters now this is extremely important to understand what's going on here the
vps sensor picks up what is underneath the drone as long as you're under 10 meters
from the object so you can see as soon as i go over 10 meters it goes to non-applicable and
the sensor cannot detect the ground anymore or the object but my altitude is 22 meters
this is extremely important because as i go down you guys can see i'm going slowly down
and there the vps detects the tree underneath the drone so now my altitude is 16 meters
and my height above the object is four meters or four and a half meters so you can clearly see the
advantage of having a vps sensor and the dji fly app for some random reason just does not have that
why would each eye remove it the drone has the sensor it just doesn't display it in the app
that's the number one reason why i just go on switch guys that vps sensor is absolutely amazing
just imagine taking off flying out 500 meters or so and going nice and low over the ocean maybe
and knowing that you're about seven eight meters off the surface of the water
but your altitude might be negative 14 meters so the vps sensor plays a
massive role in the way that i fly and also safety if you're doing any sort of
work with a drone or inspections or anything like that and you fly over an object then
knowing your actual height above the object is incredibly important effectively your altitude
becomes useless because you could be 50 meters up but you could technically be 10 meters or 7 meters
from an object below the drone so if you fly above a roof then it's incredibly useful to know
that you're currently two meters above the uh the roof for example and that you are still able to
drop down another meter to maybe take a picture of something that you need to investigate but if you
didn't have that sensor you would need to rely on the camera view and that is a very wide angle lens
to judge distance from so if you didn't have a vpn sensor you could technically drop down too low
and the drone could go into landing mode once it goes into landing mode you could potentially
lose your drone or the load would land on the roof or whatever could happen my point is is
that the drone has the sensor and the dji go 4 app displays the information why the dji flyer
app doesn't i don't know i know the vps sensor is present on the mini 2 the a2 the a2s and so forth
but it doesn't display in there so dgi if you're watching this please just please add the
information to the dji fly app it is such a useful tool anyway guys that takes me to the end of this
