Geofencing issue on S1
Hey all, I just bought an S1 and as soon as I went to fly I was hit with a geofence warning and air restriction warning. I live about 8-10 miles from a US air base and 3-4 miles from my city, and on the Air Control app it shows me as WELL outside of the Class D airspace of the city and base.
I was able to fly away from the city, but when I went to return the drone was hitting the geofence and would only move at 1 mph. I had to land it at my son’s house a few streets over.
Later yesterday evening, around 8pm, I was able to fly with no warnings at all (I thought this was because I adjusted my max fly distance to under 2 miles, it was at No Limit before).
Today I go to fly the drone and the same warnings/constant beeping and ability to only fly 1mph.
I have my Fly Safe certificate.
TIA.
Edit: I figured it out. I truly feel like a moron, but I hope this helps someone in the future. The drone HAS to be in SPORT MODE and Manual Obstacle Avoidance set to OFF. Once I flipped it to sport mode, all was fine. I’m sure this was in a manual or a how to video. I just tried to be fast. My Phantom 2 didn’t have this problem.
I suggest flipping the switch to normal after each flight, and after takeoff (when it’s beeping and throwing a geofence warning) flip it to sport mode. Also, turn Manual Obstacle Avoidance “OFF” in settings. I feel like I saw Flaim Disclosed on YT discuss this in a video. Thanks to all that helped.
