    Litchi - hovering for a long time before RTH

    I flew my P3S today for about 1km before I lost connection. I couldn't even see it anymore, and I waited, and waited, and waited, till the point that I didn't think I'd get it back. Then when I was about to get in my car to go and look for it, I heard the humming noise above my head, and it came...

    Phantom 3 Standard problems

    Hi everyone! New member here, I've had my standard for 1 year so far, I am happy with this drone but have some minor issues. 2 questions, is there a add on sensor or something to upgrade the gps to make RTH more accurate and is there something like the bottom sensors on Phantom 3 pro you can get...

    Maiden flight: a few questions by a newbie

    Hello all! As I wrote in the Introductions subforums, I'm a newbie to "real" quads. I had a toy Syma for a while, but went for the big upgrade and got a Phantom 3 Advanced. (I was originally aiming at the standard, but then I thought: "why not?") I got it yesterday and this morning I had my...

    POI confusion - RTH

    Why would there be a RTH entry in the POI setup in DJI GO? I checked this out today because I screwed up with it last week. In bad reflectivity conditions I entered a value there thinking it was for ROI radius or height (dumb - I know - as radius and height are set by moving the drone). That...

    Sketchy RTH

    Just want to know if this happens to other pilots. First- I fly to max range, weak signal begins to flash. I continue to fly until signal lost. Second- after a moment RTH kicks in with an audible beeping. third- It goes into Atti mode (haven't touched anything) RTH stops. fourth-I try to...

    Obstacle Avoidance Keeps Turning Off!!???

    So I have the latest P4P firmware and Go application on my iPhone 7+ but for some reason, if I enable OA for use during RTH, it seems to get unselected every time I quit the app. Is this normal? It's annoying because nothing else goes back to default except that one setting... Makes me less...

    DJI doesn't agree with their manual

    My Phantom 3S flew away and crashed in January during a rth procedure. Both DJI and several others said it was my fault because I failed to cancel the rth when I tried avoid a tree during the landing attempt. Last night as I was re-reading the DJI manual, I noticed (on page 11) the following: "...

    Recently fly away caused by version DJI GO 3.1.2 - Could I have taken control manually?

    Hi there guys, So I was recently hit by the bug in version 3.1.2 of the DJI GO app. I have a DJI Phantom 3 Standard. It set my home position 1400m away and I was helpless to stop it. I tried to cancel the RTH feature, but due to the fact it was obviously out of the RTH range, it overrode this...

    Question About RTH

    So, I am positive my question has already been covered, and I read through the manual but most of the limits I'm going toward aren't recommended but I wanted to test something, so my apologies if this is basic to many of you but I am still quite the novice! :) The situation is as follows: I...

    TapFly and Waypoints Observation

    All, With an unusual amount of time on my hands, a nice area to test and 5 batteries at a time, I've been able to finally "test" two of the flight scenarios available to the P4 (and most probably the P3). TapFly works well. Most people think you tap the screen and the copter heads to that...

    Close Call: Watch that RTH Height!

    Last weekend I was flying my P3S over a beautiful, remote and uninhabited frozen lake. Got some great shots of the rough boreal forest and rugged shoreline before shooting south over the lake at about 25 metres. I was only 650 metres out when the signal dropped. I was watching the map but...

    Backyard RTH settings?

    I'm wondering what the best RTH setting would be for me when flying in the relatively small area of my backyard? When flying in the yard the drone is never more than about 120 feet from the takeoff home point. There are trees that I both fly under and above, and I'll put it over my house as...

    P3S lost signal, but RTH doesn't seem to kick in.

    I am relatively new and basically flew just a bit out of range. Actually I live in the Appalachian Mountains and I just flew around a stand of trees where I was just out of sight. Anyway, I lost signal and it seemed like it was just hoovering so I pressed the RTH button on the app. I got a...

    Litchi Low Battery Behavior?

    Apologies if this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the answer in the Litchi manual. If you are on a Litchi waypoint mission and the battery level becomes very low, what happens? Does it try to complete the mission or does it RTH or does it land wherever it is? And can...

    RTH Q

    Hi My p2 was at about 20 m and range of about 300m with i turned off receiver to instigate rth . ( phantom mode ) It tried to rise to 30 m ( this is my set height ) however it landed where it was and switched off . I had previously done this and it came back to me . Would this be because...

    RTH set height

    I know that if I initiate RTH, my P3S will climb to what I have it set for. If I am above my set point, will it decrease altitude and land. For my comfort level, I would rather have it descend than ascend.

    RTH Question (and a few other basic questions)

    Hello - just received my P3 Standard a few days ago. I have been taking it really slow as far as my flying goes. I have read too many newbies posts where they freaked out and either lost or broke their drone through inexperience! Having a blast soo far! I have a few questions (and I...
