Sorry about your mishap. I'm curious about your mishap: were you flying in large or area restricted by the trees? I purchase the H+ because of the ease of flying but I usually see it flown in wide open spaces. Trees are probably like magnets for drones. Also was yours equipped with Real Sense?
I do a lot of flying in wooded areas where I fly close to and under or over trees. It does take skill and knowledge of your aircraft to do it safely.
I can tell you that trees do not atract drones at all. With my carbon props it is no problem to clip a small branch or twig.
What I do recommend is that you also learn to fly with GPS off. This will give you much better knowledge of how the craft responds. Also will it make your videos look much smoother when you do proximity flying.
Obstacle avoidance (obs) is a no go for me. I tried it twice when flying in the woods and both times it nearly cost me my drone. When you fly sideways past an object the obs will instantly back your H away from the obstacle and in my case it backed up into a tree leaving me with 3 broken props and a disloged camera.
(I must say I have never flown with realsense but I suspect that it will do the same if it has not yet mapped the surroundings behind the drone.)
Always fly in ANGLE mode. Smart mode should only be used for the Follow me/Watch me mode. (If you ask me)
Make sure to have a “panic plan” when you try things out that you haven’t done before. Know which switch to flick when it goes bad. Many times people will freeze when something unexpected happens. And all you can do then is watch the carnage happen.
Know your craft before trying new things. Study the function you want to use and know how to cancel it.
For instance the Curved Cable Cam function is an awesome feature that gives you the ability to do fantastic shots with camera pan and tilt under the right stick while the aircraft flies a programmed route. However not fully understanding this feature can cause disaster. Again speaking from experience. (Nearly crashed into a castle wall once and another time had to go fishing for it after it plunged into a lake. The manual will tell you all about this feature.
But the best way to fly safe is gain experience and confidence in your craft and your abilities.
And follow the rules. The people that don’t are the ones that ruin it for the people who do.
Happy flying man and enjoy your beautifull aircraft.
