Have you played with the waypoint route creation, either on the app or web or both? If this works the way it looks like I should be able to rise above my tree infested neighborhood and fly out on a mission to check out a geographic feature a mile away, swing around it, do all kinds of things, then return to my first waypoint above my launch point, then I should be able to just descend and done
I saw a video the guy set his route and once the route started he turned off his rc and phone and then waited for the drone to return, it flew the entire route with zero control communication. To me if that really works it opens up a host of possible "missions" - It will allow me to focus more on the creative side
so thanks for the inputs - I'm going to take it slow the first few flights, try to keep the mavic over dry accessible lands just in case I have to go find it. I'm on an iPhone 7 as well but my mini4 is coming soon, I'm going to dedicate it to the mp and am really hoping this works the way I described.
