Oh I can assure you that in the future I'll never take off without being sure that my RTH height is 500 meters... OK maybe not 500 meters but you get the point.

How do I do that. I plugged the Phantom directly into my laptop and the only thing I could find was the SD card.

FOUND IT!! That's about the only good news I have. I went back through the woods again before it got dark last night and I found it laying props down with the battery sitting about 10 feet away. It wasn't far off of msinger's line at all which means I either walked right by it on the previous...

Fair enough. Yeah I'm always skeptical of things online which is why I try to provide as much detail as I can.

It was insanely fun while it lasted! I have a replace ticket in with DJI so I'll wait to hear back from them. I just walked through the woods again along the line that msinger suggested and came up empty. I'm not convinced it wouldn't have stayed in the top of the tree if it did descend into them

I remember setting the RTH altitude to 50m on Saturday -the day before the flight we are discussing- so unless it defaulted at the beginning of the flight it was still at 50m. Even at 30m it should've cleared all the trees in that area because most of them stand around 80-90 feet tall max. The...

Phantom Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com I'm not sure I did this correctly because I can't see that anything happened after the upload. I re downloaded the file from my iPad just to make sure I was using the right one and I got the same result.

I just got a Phantom 4 for my birthday on Saturday, August 20, and now it seems to have decided to go into Phantom mode becuase it is gone. I launched the Phantom from a field about 1500 feet from my parents house and proceeded to fly it over their property at an altitude of about 125 feet. My...
