First let me say this was TOTALLY my fault!!
Please no VLOS comments as if my eyes were better it would have been.?
Was out filming some boats and got myself absolutely lost. I was aiming for a change room on the shore and and was quite low about 8mtrs. Little did I know at the time that I was in fact heading to the wrong change room about 600 mtr further south around a headland. The more I looked at the screen and convinced my self i was in the correct position the more I pointed the RC "towards" the drone. There lays the problem. The drone was behind me at th other change rooms. The screen started to go choppy then BLACK. I stared at the screen willing it to realign but zip....I looked at the wife and said I have just lost $1500 thinking i had gone into the water. I didnt turn anything off just waited hoping for a miracle. Well it happened the screen flickered back to life and was in a RTH config.? The RTH was obviously engaged after the 11 sec lost of signal....Thank you DJI. Although the drne wasnt that far when the screen blanked it was behind a headland and very low.
The outcome for me was a lucky save and now its time to book in to the glass doc for new specs
