    Quickly Align the Aircraft with Controller

    Thanks. Yes, this is the best available quick key for this purpose.

    Quickly Align the Aircraft with Controller

    Thanks Inno. Yes Home Lock is another way to achieve the same. There is no such function available in DJI Fly App.

    Quickly Align the Aircraft with Controller

    Thanks for your reply. I am actually not suggesting a seldom-used button somewhere inside the App but an option which could be called through the programmable option button on top left of the RC.

    Quickly Align the Aircraft with Controller

    Thanks Howard. This definitely works. But don't you agree that an App function to perform this action would be a better and quicker way to achieve this? I was flying low this morning by the beach; within 100ft during a take. There were crows who felt somehow offended and tried to hit my bird...

    Quickly Align the Aircraft with Controller

    Is there a way to quickly align your aircraft with the controller, looking either straight forward or towards the controller? I wonder if DJI Fly App could provide a programmable button action for this purpose, just like quickly centering the Gimble.

    Drone RTH settings.

    If you were flying within 20m (65ft) distance from the home point, the aircraft would not ascend to the RTH height and just find its way back to the home point maintaining the current altitude and then land. You may watch this video where the RTH is explained in detail.

    RTH Aborted in Mini 2

    It is actually just a long press for 2 seconds and release the button. This initiates RTH which can be cancelled at any time by just (short) pressing the RTH button again. I got chance to fly in a beautiful space yesterday. Sent the bird to the open space up to 4000ft with an altitude between...

    RC Stops Working During the Flight

    Thanks. This actually gives a big comfort and peace of mind. So if: - The home point is correctly set - RTH altitude is set high enough to clear any obstacles - There are no altitude restrictions - Drone battery is at sufficient level - And there are no offensive birds...

    RTH Aborted in Mini 2

    By pressing and holding the RTH button on the controller. The RTH started and its indication remained on the app for few seconds and then vanished (just like it was never started). It happened twice until I had to drive back the M2 nearer to me and then it went successful. The point to note is...

    RC Stops Working During the Flight

    RTH protocol in the DJI Mini 2 manual says that a failsafe RTH will be initiated automatically if the AC losses connection with RC for more than 11 seconds. Can I make the RC off during a flight to test this RTH behavior? Will it work or is this worth to test something like this? I have no idea...

    RTH Aborted in Mini 2

    I was flying in an altitude zone (196ft) at the maximum altitude, within 100 meters. It was night time and I realized that I can't see the bird any more and started RTH. It showed RTH activity for few seconds on the app and to my surprise, went normal. I reinitiated RTH and same happened after a...

    Circling a Tall Structure

    Mini 2 with DJI Fly App 1.3 I wasn't aware that there are other apps as well which can control the flights!

    Circling a Tall Structure

    Standing on ground, how can I shoot a tall building (roughly 150ft high and 4000 sq. yards area)? I want to start circling in front of me and go upwards like spiral. Is there a technique or pattern to follow?

    Is DJI Fly App Necessary?

    Thanks. Is app version 1.3 the right version? I have recently seen on the forum that everyone talks about v 1.2.
