If you stick a 'H' or use a landing pad, would it land at the same spot? I read it takes an image of the ground and matches them on RTH. I've not tried it yet.
I think it is more governed by GPS coordinates. It did pause on landing and said landing area was in-suitable, but that was because ambient light was too dim.
Yeah, that was some very old asphalt. Still impressive to come that close. Bet a parrot wouldn't!I doubt that it could use precision landing on that surface - no distinctive features for the vision system to identify.
Yes, it does use GPS as usual, but "Precise Landing" uses the lower camera view to match up what it sees when returning. Thus, low light or something like just concrete or asphalt is harder to match than an design on the ground, like an H or an X or some other distinguishing mark. The drone has to go up slowly from that spot to a certain height to be able to get the fix on that spot.I think it is more governed by GPS coordinates.

Horizontally?
All, remember that when using "precise landing" you do need to give the drone time to rise pretty high as it records it's departure point, taking an image of it, before you head off in a direction. It'll pause when finished and ready to go.
You really only need for go up 30 feet. I have yet to land outside of 6 inches from my original take off spots, and that’s if they are kind of sketchy. Usually I’m within 3 inches and it amazes each and every time. I purposely fly far away when I’m wrapping up my flight, just to use the RTH feature lol
Are you saying that you fly away to trigger the lost of signal RTH? I have it set to RTH with LOS, but have been afraid to actually give it a try. Would be nice to know how reliable it is.
