I'm just a little curious on whether you actually captured any video footage while doing this run. I would gather that you would have at least seen what happened to your drone with the live feed on. Did you see anything regarding where it was or whether it was truly returning home or flying towards home? Or were you daring and flying blind! Apologies if I have missed out this detail.
Exactly.
Everyone panics and flys it into something, instead of just waiting for it to RTH.
Just put your RTH height higher than the tallest w/e where your going to fly, and your good.
Even if your stupid & fly behind a building and lose signal.
It should stop 180, gain altitude and make it's way back to you.
Even if you close the DJI app in your panic, it's still on it's way back to takeoff point.
And leave the streaming video to your phone option on, even if you dont use it as footage.
Obviously It could come in very handy
So don't panic
Couldn't have said it better my self. Yes I have been stupid times myself and even have lost my orientation but the golden rule is: confirm you home location on takeoff and set a RTH altitude higher that anything around. You Mavic will return !
it's been four hours now... Where is it??...If it disconnects you stay put it will come back eventually
