Awesome, but watch out for notifications! – Copterus #1 Autopilot for DJI Review

I just flew a couple test missions, using my Mavic Air. Like many; I am waiting for DJi Air 2S support. I must say however that I am very impressed! I set up a mission to fly over a local school (it’s Saturday and nobody is around) and found the UI real easy to navigate. The drone flew its mission admirably, nice bell sound as each waypoint was reached, and it returned home when done! Quite nice! Near the end of my mission a notification came through and I accidentally tapped on it. ? the result was Copterus lost the drone and guess what - it LANDED right where it was, in the school field! Fortunately it reconnected to the remote controller, and After a few frantic taps on the fly command and it launched and returned to home on its own. ??? But the whole time I could not tell what the drone was doing: the app was essentially frozen, but the remote did the RTH beep, so I just waited patiently. ? It wasn’t until I looked at my flight logs that I saw where it landed, took off, and returned! Word of advice: turn off notifications when flying a mission! Maybe even turn off cellular data! The only thing I would like is automated camera/gimbal focus. It would be nice if I could set a ‘Point of Interest’ (For example, the school building, or a baseball Diamond) that the drone would remain pointed towards while flying. I know gimbal pitch may not be easy but general direction would be much better than trying to control this manually, you can, but it will never be smooth… In all - I am VERY impressed & am telling my friends! ?
