THAT MAKES IT WORSE !!!!!!!!!!

The max angle basically sets how much the drone will tilt.

This basically means you are setting it's max speed.

The high-angle motor-cutoff CANNOT be changed. It is fairly low, like 45degrees. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it's only like 35degrees.

lol

They should do 2 things:

-Increase whatever the amount is by like 15°.
-Add an option in Freeflight to disable Angle Too High Auto-Cutoff

With outdoor hull, the blades hit something during a collision so it can simply rely on that instead of the angle too.

That way our drones won't fall out of the sky because of a wind gust and/or sudden deceleration.

This just happened to me.  I was flying with the indoor hull for awhile with no issues.  So, I decided to try the outdoor hull.  Pushed the altitude.  Little wind gust tilts the drone.  Engines cutoff, and the thing falls like a rock!!  EMERGENCY HIGH ANGLE CUTOFF.  What?!?!  Luckily, I was over a grassy park and didn't suffer any damages.  Now, I know to be more careful, but this is LAME!!  There's no way a total engine cut can be better than the drone at least TRYING to right itself!!

I wonder exactly how it determines the angle. One would think there is a sensor in there somewhere. Most likely a weight in a tubular shaped housing. The weight touches the side  and it trips a switch. Disconnect the wires to the switch and problem solved.

Pinball machines use something like this for the Tilt feature.

YES PLEASE!!

Never mind then.   

Thanks.

It will auto hover and drift in the wind... trying to get directly under it helps get signal back

And every answer they give is... " we are aware of it... it will be addressed in some distant future update " but they will never give a normal, human answer and deal with their customers on an even, level playing field... they have a weird company structure where they love to be the first to introduce something but could care less about the follow through and customer support... that's why so many hobby sites refuse to deal with their products ... and even brookstone has changed a policy because of them... if you buy a drone from brookstone and walk out in the parking lot to try it out... and it doesn't even work... the lights don't even come on... you're on your own... as soon as you slice the tape on a parrot product at brookstone you cannot return it to brookstone... you can't even walk back in the store 15 minutes later and exchange it for a working unit... they have way too many return/exchange attempts on the drone 2.0... it's been a huge headache for them as two separate managers have explained to me... i still can't figure them out and what they have against making real money... they could easily be making three times what they do now with a better reputation and basic customer service ... but that doesn't seem to be the point with them... oh well ... who knows

You got that right... if you lose it straight up there ain't no way to get any closer to it... i fly mine away for about 20 meters and then climb

I had the same problem drone cut out at 30ft because of 'too much angle emergency' luckily I was flying over grass and the drone was fine but this feature is really lame. Also I am not convinced that it was wind that caused the problem as there was minimal wind, I think it was just caused by flying at speed. Can Parrot comment on whether this is an issue that can be fixed with a software update or is this a hardware problem that is here to stay?

I did once plug-in a battery and carry my Drone outside, at which time I noticed the "high angle emergency" message was displaying. I think I had to unplug/replug the battery to reset it.

Could finding the "Death Angle" be as simple as plugging in a battery, maybe asserting Flat Trim, and then slowly raising one side of the Drone until this message appears?

When just holding the drone, it has to get to about a 90 degree angle. I have no idea what angle it is when it's flying and the gyros are going and stuff.
