New to the community, and had difficulty finding the answers:

1) Will the DJI Mini work with a Samsung S8 phone? I'm seeing mixed answers.
2) How will the "return home" feature work on a moving boat? Does it return to launch coordinates, or does it follow the controller?

Thanks in advance!
 
Thank you for this info! Very helpful in my decisions.

I discovered I don't even know what phone I have - I have an S21, not an S8!
It should work fine with the S21.

Thanks again!

In the menus you can update the home point to reflect the new location that your boat may have moved to since chances are , even you return to that location, it will not be close enough to prevent a water landing unless you're really lucky.

So as you move around the lake, go into the Safety menu and select update home point to reflect your new location. Though chances are it will still take some manual control for a safe landing.

Don't even think of allowing RTH land your drone on a boat.
You will need to hand catch the drone.
And if you are new to flying drones, stay on dry land for a while.
Operating from a boat can be complicated with additional issues that land-based flyers can imagine.
It's not a good environment to be learning to fly

If you want to 'practice' or experience some of the difficulties with boat hand-catching, try it when walking, or sitting in the bed of a moving pickup or in a reasonable breeze, NO WHERE NEAR strong wind.
