Regarding that, is there a way to see the heading while I am using the DJI app if I have lost the connection? Someone mentioned in another thread rotating their drone 180 degrees, but I can only do that if the video is connected. I was using the sticks trying to move it closer to home to...

No worries, eEridani. You were right, I did ignore the warnings!

Right away, sir! BTW I have a lot of ancestors from the Dalarna region, so we're probably related somehow, ha ha. Thanks, Cuz!

This puts the total distance from the HP at over 4,250 feet (1.3 km).

I had no idea the wind speed was that high from the ground!

All hail, King Slup! With his expert analysis (and a lot of luck, for sure), after a couple hours of searching outward from the first circle, I found my drone safely nestled in the tall grass. Not even a hard landing! The actual location was just beyond the projected drop zone, which could...

Thanks for that extra knowledge! I'll head out to take another look soon. I guess with these winds, there was virtually no chance it would have made any progress towards HP after it stopped reporting, and if it had come back into range it would have reported that, too.

Thank you very much, Slup! This is amazing, even though I hear you saying this is only a rough estimate due to the varying conditions. I searched along this direct path and even in the clearing where the yellow thumbtack is, but it is very rough and could be anywhere out there in the trees. It...

Thank you, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Hi, I'm hoping to get some help understanding my flight info from everyone here more knowledgeable than myself. I lost connection to my Mini and RTH wouldn't work because of strong winds. It didn't seem strong on the ground, but at altitude it was apparently. Find My Drone on the app shows its...
