A look at the Spark's obstacle avoidance

The last time I filmed a ride on Kuocang Mountain, I nearly hit a power line, and it still makes me nervous. Today I decided to test how good the Spark's obstacle avoidance really is. Naturally, I strung up a thin line and waited for the Spark to hit it... CnByeP.jpg

As I flew close to this line (standing in for a power line), DJI GO warned me of an obstacle ahead. But this was a fairly demanding test, after all... Compare the two images below.

Then I tried deliberately flying into it. Here's the result on video ⇓ Of course, the Spark didn't stop in time and crashed. My propellers (つД`)

But what if my Spark crashes into a power line...

Still, the obstacle avoidance does help a bit. This article comes from WHR BLOG ( https://webwhr.vicp.net).
