How to land a cinelifter? Create a landing PID profile and activate it in flight!

Ғылым және технология

Support my work / pawelspychalski
Errata: "Permanently enabled Air Mode" feature has to be disabled to have Air Mode as a flight mode.
Landing big and heavy drones, especially a cinelifter carrying an expensive video camera is not a trivial task. If you are not careful enough, it will result in jumps on touchdown. The drone will handle it not a problem, but the camera (usually more expensive than the whole drone) will not like the treatment.
With INAV you can build a special rate profile with lowered PIDs and activate it in flight.

    How? By using optical flow sensor, ultrasonic distance sensor, barometer, GPS and auto-land feature found in INAV

    AFAIK, there's no way to activate autoland manually. Which is a shame, IMHO.

    Or you implement the "landing" mode in the mode tab. Yes I am rude, I apologise, again. 😅

    If trying to land results in bouncing like this, then there's something wrong with the control algorithms. It shouldn't be "band-aided" by having to manually disable airmode at the right moment or disarm quickly.

    P.S. It's much much easier if you put airmode on a switch and you just flip it before landing and no more bounce at all...

    It's part of the solution :) Watch the whole video. But Airmode on a switch is not enough

    I also found enabling RTH inside the trigger distance gives a gentle landing. Can you see any traps in using this?

    well, if you are below RTH altitude it will climb first :)

    Should profile 2 be activated automatically while switching on Failsafe (activating RTH)? Probably not, because that profile could make it difficult for the drone to come back from far away.

    No, rather not. I mean, it's possible to activate it automatically during Failsafe RTH as logic conditions allow to detect the state, but I would not do that
