Yes, you speak truth. The areas I fly over the ocean in are quite accessible for the most part. But then, the toll on the drone raises the questions of to use or not to use. However with DJI Refresh, all I need is to get the drone back.

Thanks, I did see that

From the shore

Thanks. Not wanting to land on Salt Water. Looking fo extra safety shouldI go down for any reason

Any suggestions for Ocean Floats?

Thank you. Unaware of this. Good point on RTH cancellation.

Agree with you. However, even if my fault because I was in or near a NFZ, the drone should have responded to commands as it was only out 3500 ft with no obstructions. That’s what it did not do and why I am arguing the point. Btw, battery percentage was high on RTH. Percentage was 50% which was...

Yes! If you click on the transmitter icon while watching a flight recording, it will show the stick movements for the entire flight. You will also see the arrow head showing which way the drone is going. You can also see any movement in the distance numeral monitor. In my case, the drone...

Sure. Even if it is my error, it is noteworthy that RTH had control of the drone before being in a no fly zone. Data Log shows warning of no fly zone after about 7,000 feet in during its controlled return and then no control. In my way of thinking, I should not have been locked out of control...

I want to be clear that the Flight Data clearly shows that attempts to leave or control the aircraft at the no fligh zone were performed numerous time to no avail. How can DJI ignore this when their errant automatic RTH and warning caused me to react? This i don’t get. I hope all who have...

Retracing the original flight path is a good way to get home safely, but then how does one know that RTH will go into a no flight zone. When do we not trust RTH? More to my point, why no response to commands when in or near a no flight zone? I would have saved my drone if would have allowed...

1)Control should be there especially, if they post a warning. 2) Yes, classifying it pilot error is concerning as all the RTH was automatic with no pilot intervention. Yes, on the. 15%, especially since I have DJI Refresh 3) the care package clearly states the aircraft must be returned to...

Good luck on DJI helping you. Here is my situation and it looks like DJI could care less. Note that it is clear that the drone went into ocean and not like it is lost, just can’t recover it. I have DJI Refresh. Secondly, the drone would not respond to commands except to change altitude. The data...

Certainly agree with you.

I flew out from the edge of a no fly zone over the ocean shooting vids of whales on Maui. When battery was down to 50%, (I was 11k feet out using my Moverios) I hit the RTH button and the drone began its journey home. At about 75% home it few into a no fly zone and would not come out or...
