Are you going to be relying on OA to force incremental or gradual climbs to get above the take off point height ?
That assumes the fancy RTH behaviour has been selected.

Yep agree with all that, though the HP need not be recorded before take off and even when it is it is quite frequently rerecorded just after lift off, as evidenced by the appropriate LED flash sequence.@Yorkshire_Pud regardless of the height where the home point was recorded ,before you first took off,then the drone will return to that point and using the downwards facing sensors, determine whether it is just going to hover ,a couple of feet above the ground ,or land if it thinks it is safe to do so ,this works the same for whichever type of RTH option you have selected
That was the gist of my question and your are suggesting an incremental or gradual climb, THANKS !if RTH started at a negative height from the home point ,the drone will climb up using the sensors, when within range of the surface beneath it, and determine its most direct route back to the home point
I can well imagine it would be a severe clenching, I've done that a time or two when playing with the mavic 2's OA . lolof course it does require a level of trust by the pilot in the technology,but having done it several times ,it does work ,although it does cause some Butt clenching moments ,as it flies back at quite a speed till it nears home
I doubt I would trust the fancy RTH even if I had it but I was still curious as to what it would do.Never trust on OA during RTH, use standard RTH and set the RTH alt higher than any obstacle.
For example if you are taking off from the middle of a mountain and going down into a valley, set the RTH higher than the highest mountain around.
Using the fancy RTH is a guarantee that the drone will fly into a tree/building/bridge/cable/whatever.
