I understand that cruising speed between waypoints will match the speed last communicated by the RC, but what about after the last waypoint is reached? If the end-of-mission-action is "RTH", is that executed at normal RTH speed, or at the--potentially much slower--speed last received? Does...
Good Afternoon! I am super new to this as well as flying the drone for just about a week or so now, so please bare with me as I am figuring this all out! I have just a couple questions that I can't seem to locate a definite answer on at this time and need some guidance! I live in south...
Hi everyone,
First-time poster and new (received November 30th) Phantom 4 Pro owner here. Several days ago, I experienced some unexpected behavior from the drone when I attempted to RTH, and I was hoping someone might be able to help me figure out what happened so I can prevent it from...
Okay, I was "living on the edge" last night.
I updated everything that I could to the latest available versions—P4, RC, DJI Go (iOS). Refer to version summary below. Additionally, last night, I re-calibrated everything, including IMU, VPS, gimbal, and even the RC controller sticks.
On the way...
Just got my P3S recently and have clocked up 18 flights and I love it, still getting used to everything and I am very happy with the purchase. Furthest I have flown from the home position is 200 metres as I am still a bit weary in case it flies away....I know...... I'm daft.
My last flight gave...
Is there a thread or web page that explains the various considerations when setting the Return To Home altitude? What I mean is how to account for various scenarios with varying levels of terrain?
For example, if I take-off up on a bluff/cliff (my home point), which as 30' trees. Normally, I...
I've been reading a lot on this forum and others. To me, the most common sources of crashes are: actually hitting something due to pilot error and return to home crashes.
I'd like to address this second category because there is a very easy solution to it, that can be done via software...
The past couple of flights, I used RTH (Smart RTH) so my P4 could fly home. However, both times, it came in too hot and bounced a bit on touchdown. It didn't flip over or break anything (as seen at the end of this video).
As a new drone pilot, how can I take control of the aircraft at 3 meters...
I have recently purchased a P3S and love it. However, I do have a question relating to the RTH function. I receive confirmation that the home point has been set but when I initiate RTH either by toggling S2 or via the app, the P3S hesitates and then lands directly below the location where I...
Basically if I am already flying higher than my RTH height is set will drone stay at this higher altitude and return home or lower it self to the RTH set hight and them return? Or a combo of sloping down to the RTH height? I hope to test this some day but wanted your guys' expert knowledge.
I am new to the P4 world. I am flying from some open space at the top of a valley, then flying down into the valley. My question is a RTH height of 30 metres, the height the drone will go to above the home point OR will the drone always keep 30 metres above ground level that the drone is...
Hi -
I am going to be flying my Phantom from a moving fishing boat on Lake Tahoe. In the event of a RTH incident, I am trying to assure that the Phantom will return to my position, which will be moving around, rather than to where it took off or to a distant shoreline on a big Lake. Am I...
I am about to fly a Litchi mission that I created originally in Google Earth. I will be flying up and down the side of a mountain to an elevation that is about 500 feet higher than the home point. The craft will fly at a constant 150 foot altitude AGL, thanks to Google Earth. My worry is, do...
Hi
Phantom 3 Professional
Assuming you have initiated return to home, The risk as I see it could be that the ground conditions may not be perfect to land. If this is the case, how is the simplest or most efficient to override the RTH command?
Likewise, if the Battery low warning has initiated...
This is the video how I’ve lost drone because of Litchi application. The flight was hold in FPV mode in VR glasses on Phantom 3 Standard. Remote Controller was in F mode.When drone flew on 1000 m the link was lost and RTH mode didn’t work. Drone stayed at the same place till the battery wasn’t...
What's up everyone, just trying to see if anyone has experience what I had the displeasure of experiencing this past weekend and find out what could have possibly gone wrong.
I am completely sick to my stomach right now with what happened. And DJI's customer service don't even open til tomorrow...
I am new to phantom 3. After play with Bebop, I decide to buy Phantom 3 standard to have it go. After load the DJI go, it takes a bit time to forward and backward to get the Drone registered. Update firmware and check RTH settings is 30m. Then, I did first fly test. Look ok even it is windly. I...
Dear phantomers,
it's sunday again and as it's tradition on my channel, I upload a new video :D. It's a new lecture taken of my course, this time about the proper use of the RTH function. There are a few things many pilots get confused with and I hope this video solves all your questions about...
I lost my drone yesterday due to a lost connection so I am now trying to better understand the Return To Home sequence and specifically whether or not the altitude is adjusted once a RTH is initiated. I have been told that it will NOT descend to the RTH altitude set in the app and others say it...
