ON OFF Auto Hold Assisted Braking from Obstacle Sensing System Powered by the Obstacle Sensing System, the aircraft will now be able to actively initiate breaks when obstacles are detected direct ahead of the aircraft. Note that Obstacle System works best when light condition is ideal and the obstacle does not have feature-less pattern. In addition, the aircraft speed cannot exceed over 14 meter/second so that the aircraft can break and stop at the safe distance.

The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is

above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations:

Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).

Flying at high speeds(over 10 m/s at 2 meters or over 5 m/s at 1 meter). Flying over water or transparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design).

24 2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved. Phantom 4 Pro/Pro+ User Manual Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness of the sensors. Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 10 meters.

The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions (less than 100 lux). Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is in operation. Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audible to some animals. A i r c r a f t Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft.
