rth

At least I'm assuming it was RTH triggered and obstacle avoidance kicked it, sure looks that way.

Hey All, I'm new to the forum here. Had a pretty scary experience today. I was flying about 3000 ft out and my battery started getting low so i flipped into RTH. I'm watching my screen and see that instead of descending it was actually going higher way past my max altitude. I tried fighting...

Trying to grow some kahunas from your flights..have you experienced an unintentional (i.e. unplanned) failsafe RTH? Was it a happy ending? :);):( I'm still a noob and starting to expand distance and various sceneries. I planned to fly safe and keep an eye on the RC signal often. But I find...

I toyed briefly with the idea of amazing my brother (who hasn't yet seen my Mavic) by having the Mavic take off in front us us and then my flying the Mavic up and away to about a mile away and then ....... (oops!).... my "accidentally" turning off the controller to the Mavic and amazing my...

Being careful to let GPS acquire then taking off vertically to 10 m before the flight pays off in an absolute perfect hands off RTH landing. Nice to do this once in a while so you know how it will behave. Caveat, I did another of these later in the late day ... the changing light made it stop...

I have a hypothetical scenario I wasn't able to find a clear answer for in the manual, or by googling. 1. On the Mavic, the Forward Vision System is Enabled and your RTH Altitude is set to 30 meter/100 feet ( yes, low) 2. You're goofing around in Sport Mode in an urban area. (Forward/downward...

Today I had the itch to fly through this really cool stand of tall trees. I was going to do it in tripod mode and just go very slow and navigate between them. I was all set to go, then my 12 year old tersely reminded that I was taking a big risk because of the return-to-home function. If it lost...

I flew a westward mission around 10 AM yesterday morning (location: Georgia, USA) which put the rising Sun at my back. I flew out about 2500 feet, had a look around at the nice landscape then hit RTH for the heck of it. The Mavic turned about and headed eastward (facing the Sun) home but...

Anyone knows what is the best way to cancel the RTH when the craft is already on it's way home and descending? Assuming that there are tree branches in the way, and you can see that it's going to hit them, how do you cancel the RTH?

I ordered my Mavic (my first DJI drone) a few days ago and was wondering if it was possible or safe to take off from a rooftop about 30 stories up. I live close to the beach and a park, and would fly it over those places, but I find it much more convenient to take an elevator up to the roof...

Hi Everyone, I was flying my Mavic yesterday evening when the DJI GO 4 app crashed. At the time the drone was around 500-600m away and still visible. Shortly before the app crashed the low battery warning had gone off, so losing the camera feed and all info from the app got my heart rate...

Was filmed at sunrise on this beautiful island. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZcrdsPXBmc

I want to use a dock at a lake for take offs and returns. I've seen landing pads available with high contrast markings. Would this increase RTH accuracy. My dock is 8 feet wide and I don't want my Mavic landing in the water.

Mavic Pro GPS accuracy is amazing . . I'm not an expert in image manipulation but I took 2 hand held photos before and after a 25 min flight out to about 800m max distance and all over the harbour in Sarnia yesterday. Then just for fun I hit RTH and waited . . . and it came home. Apparently it...

During RTH I get the error, Warning front obstacle avoidance sensors not working. Any ideas? The obstacle avoidance seems to work fine indoors or just flying around outside unless I do RTH. I was not flying towards the sun but there was quite a bit of wind.

Hey Mavic owners or soon to be! I live on a ridge in Hawaii at 850' above sea level. Under the FAA rules, can I fly my drone at 1250' (850' + 400' AGL)? What if I fly over a valley that is at sea level no more than 150 yards from my house, do I have to bring the drone down to 400'? Last...

Mavic finally arrived this week and it went on its maiden journey this afternoon/evening. I love the size, but otherwise, not impressed. It was just above me and it did a Return To Home due to radio interference. It also flashed "Battery Warning" a couple times. Bad start. I pulled out the...

Just want to confirm what variant is your controller. The "pre-production" models that were sent to Casey Nutsack and NFiJustine had removable controller sticks. Most users have reported that there sticks are NOT removable. Majority of these users had the 'fly-less' combo. A recent user just...

I've seen in various videos and posts that the Mavic needs to hover over the takeoff point for a while to capture the ground image for precision landing. One post said as long as 10 seconds. I've noticed that there is an announcement on your phone that the GPS location was recorded for RTH when...
