If the Mavic loses controller signal while in atti mode (and therefore doesn't have gps lock) what does it do? Is RTH non functional?

No atti mode with the Mavic.
good to know. thanks for the infoNo atti mode with the Mavic.
Except it's wrong.good to know. thanks for the info
I know you know this, but just clarifying for people reading along...If your drone is set to RTH on disconnect
It will drift with the wind. It can't return home if it doesn't know where it is... it doesn't know which direction to fly.
However, if the GPS lock is transitory (maybe you were flying deep in a canyon or something), and it locks again, it will initiate a failsafe RTH.
And yes there is an ATTI mode, you just can't manually select it.
You mean failsafe, not RTH.RTH is always automatically initiated 3 seconds after the remote controller disconnects from the Mavic. There is no setting to engage that behavior. What the Mavic does when RTH is initiated depends on the settings in DJI GO and whether or not the GPS data can be used (exactly as you stated).
You misunderstood OP. They asked what happens if control is lost while the Mavic is in ATTI because it has no valid GPS signal. Post #3 has the correct answer.There is no atti mode feature based on how the OP asked his question.
No, I meant RTH.You mean failsafe, not RTH.
Post #3 is not correct. See post #7 for the correct answer to the OP's question.Post #3 has the correct answer.

No, your wording is incorrect and confusing.No, I meant RTH.
FYI, Failsafe RTH is one of the three types of RTH.
While what I've stated above might be confusing to you, it's 100% accurate.No, your wording is incorrect and confusing.
Failsafe RTH is always initiated when the remote controller signal is lost -- regardless of that setting. What happens after RTH is initiated depends on whether or not the Mavic is using the GPS data and whether that setting is set to RTH, hover, or land.Saying "RTH is always automatically initiated 3 seconds after the remote controller disconnects from the Mavic" is incorrect. RTH will only be initiated if the failsafe action is set to RTH.
This is incorrect too.And anyway none of this applies to the scenario the OP asked about in the first place... where the only thing the Mavic can and will do is to descend but while drifting away with the wind.
Most of your replies include incorrect information, so it's quite apparent that reading the question is only half the battle here.Does nobody actually read the question??
No, no and no. There is no way you can say this, just read the **** manual...Failsafe RTH is always initiated when the remote controller signal is lost

Agreed. I don't think anyone in this thread is saying the Mavic will be able to return to the home point.the answer to is that the Mavic will indeed not return to home if it loses controller signal while it has no GPS lock. There is absolutely no possible debate on that.
