The head unit in Ruby/my car is still down. I didn’t drive for Uber again today. I was thinking this is the longest forced vacation
I have had since I started driving for Uber. Today I took some drone footage of a chipotle near where I live, the bank next door and
Lewis tree trux that are parked nearby. All three places were so close together, I was able to film them all with a single battery.
When the battery gets down to 5 minutes, the remote starts making this loud audible noise and then like 30 seconds later, it starts
returning to home (which I always cancel). That feature is kind of cool when you first start flying drones, but it gets annoying real quick.
So I always try to land or start heading back to land when there is 6 or more minutes left on the battery to avoid that alarm.
There are a lot of other things to pay attention to while flying, so I wasn’t paying attention to the battery time. I was filming the Lewis
tree trux and that alarm started going off. I was able to land it, without the return to home feature starting.
