LITCHI low batt RTH altitude?

[justcruisin]

Hello,

Long time LITCHI user (Mavic 2 Pro) with a question.

I have a very local mission I run to capture precisely the same photo of a construction project every day.

Recently, I tried running it on a less than 100% battery because well, why not? It’s super close and the only reason I use a LITCHI waypoint mission is for the preciseness of obtaining the same photo each time.

Anyway, the drone got up to 375 feet and was about to take the photo straight down when it hit RTH battery and came home. The weird thing is it came home at 375 feet. The RTH altitude is set lower and I do NOT have the RTH at present altitude selected.

I checked the settings in both LITCHI and DJI GO4.

What else should I check or reset?

Thanks

A Mavic 2 Pro & several others with Go4 as the original app, only go to the RTH height if below the set height... if above it that will be the height the drone will return on, it will not descend.

Hmmmm….. interesting.

Thanks for the info!

Yes, If you're higher than the RTH set that will be the behavior the drone takes. @slup is exactly correct.

As an aside, I never fly a used battery. Always top them up. There has been a good discussion on battery management in the forums on several items to know. Wish I could find it.
