rth

I'm new to the world of drone flying and recently purchased a Mavic Pro. I'm capturing some great video but would like to fly my drone off a cliff and capture some video. So question is, my RTH is set to 50m, but if the cliff drop is 150m does the drone calculate the 50m from where it took off...

I attempted to fly to a friends place on Pensacola Beach. Stayed out over the water most of the way and got to their cove and lost RC signal. Had the RTH height set to 150 feet as I thought that was plenty high enough over the water. Well, RTH course is a straight line to the home point, right...

I have my bird set to a RTH altitude of 30 meters (at least that's what the display says). I also have unit of measurement set to imperial (united states). When I was testing my RTH function, it seems to only go to a height of 30 feet instead of 30 meters. is it true that when the system is...

I recently bought a mavic and it came out of box with vision system errors, that of wich I fixed with dji assistant. It now works solid well in the day time. At night when I fly I get GPS signal with more or less then 10 satellites so I take off set a RTH point fly up again to make sure it...

Does anyone know of an app or website that shows the height of surrounding buildings? This would be helpful for RTH and Intelligent Modes. It would be awesome to see an overlay on a map that highlighted buildings that were within a range of 100ft-400ft.

Hello. I want to ask some questions about mavic pro that I don't understand. If I take off for example from a building roof 20 meters from ground and I have set the RTH altitude to 20 meters what will it happen when RTH engage? Also will it land safely in the roof? Also what if I change home...

I was playing around in my driveway tonight just practicing maneuvering in tight places. There were trees lining the drive with branches above the Mavic so I thought I'd have the bird hover if I lost radio signal. However, I couldn't find that option in the app. I searched here and googled if...

Guys, after 96 flights without issues, my Mavic went AWOL and flew away. Spoiler: Good news is that the RTH button on the RC worked. It kicked in, returned home, and landed. I'm so thankful! So, is this incident in the category of "life happens, be thankful, and move on?" Or should ground my...

I am facing problem that when I initiate RTH, MP is not facing directly to home but always some 30-40 degrees sideways. I tried several compass calibrations in proper environment and it does not seem to get better. When I try to manually correct heading angle during RTH it immediately goes...

Hello everybody... I found out something very strange today... It looks like that Mavic will RTH EVEN WITHOUT GPS!!! That's a reason for fly-aways... Where (and HOW) does Mavic go without GPS??? What happened: Normally I take off and land indoors, without GPS, without any issues... I take off...

I just got my mavic last week. I have Android and I was looking into buying litchi. I have read a few persons saying their drone flew away while using this app and they lost the drone. I know most of these is user error, but it made me wonder : Is there an option to return to home when the...

I don't use, RTH, I just land manually. I tested it once long ago just to make sure it works and be familiar with it. For those of you who have used it a lot: Does RTH work exactly the same in Sport mode as in P-Mode? If you do RTH in while in Sport mode, does it fly home any faster? Does...

Hey Fellow pilots, I had a scary moment with my Mavic this past weekend. I flew it about 3000Ft away, and then hit RTH button on the RC, and the drone turned to my direction by wouldn't move (0 mph) for a few minutes. Then i canceled RTH and tried to bring it home using the sticks, but the mavic...

Hi guys Sadly yesterday I lost my Mavic, it was hoovering over me at 380m (1246 ft aprox) in a large space between three skyscrapers (all of them bellow 250m tall or 820ft) when I lost the connection. Before loosing the connection I pressed the RTH button (set at 300m) however, despite the home...

Well, it happened. This morning I started my flight from my driveway. It always tells me that it has updated the Home Point, and it did so this time. I have a very large area that I can fly in and I found that at about a mile away, the video I was receiving was getting temperamental. I knew...

Please let me know if my understanding is correct. I assume, that the Mavic records its own location via GPS onboard. And that the RC has its own GPS, which it gets from the phone. Unfortunately my phone is from a Chinese manufacturer and has Chinese firmware, but I am not flying in China at the...

I often fly from an abandoned airport, atop a mountain in Nevada City, CA. On this particular mission, I had flown a total of 12,018 ft., and triggered RTH with the Mavic at a distance of 2,477 ft. from its home point. I rarely use RTH (ok, I never use RTH), but wanted to see how well the...

I find myself repeating variations of the checklist below on the site again and again. Now I'll just link to this. (2017-05-07 - REV 0.5). RTH Checklist. Adjust to your local conditions. Make sure your RTH settings take into account all obstacles in the area. Add 30 metres. All heights are...

I have had my Mavic Pro since January and have had 30 plus flights, mainly around my home and neighborhood and local lake area. It's an awesome piece of machinery and I think a great value for all it can do. I started off using an IPhone 7+ as a screen but then upgraded to an iPad mini 4 about...
