RTH dont be afraid to abuse it. Learning how to use it , will make flying a lot more fun and make every flight more productive.
We use the Return Home Feature on just about every flight some time several times on each flight.
It is always best to press the big round button on the actual Controller for about 4 seconds until the RTH is triggered than let go of the button.
Remember you can still take control of the drone as its coming back, including the camera , which makes this such a great way to film the trip on the way back.
I have found that many times this is an easier way to capture a more detailed video of your subject.
You can avoid hitting the wrong screen touch by simply always training yourself to hit the Round button on the controller.
Its really easy to loose the orientation of your drone in flight so hitting that RTH button on the controller itself is perfect for getting that back, and than cancelling out of it.
Getting that orientation back on your drone is critical when time is running out , when panic is taking place, when the drone battery is low and you have to make good decisions.
Since we like to fly in extreme weather conditions, we get pushed around with the wind quite a-lot and we might push the RTH home button many times in a single flight to negotiate the change in direction and keep visual flight in the storm.
Once we mastered that RTH and all that it can be used for, flying became a lot more fun.
We shot this video last night, a low flying shot over the tree tops out to 2300 ft with visual and than on the way back engaged RTH for the ride back at 200 ft for the scenic flight taking some control of the height and camera angle .
We found that at 2300 ft with the Phantom Rain Wet Suit ,starts to loose visual sight with the Wet Suit slightly after so the RTH is mandatory for getting us back on track.
I have also included at snap shot of the drone for those might want to see the drone at 2300 ft ,, of course the video picture is not as clear as the naked eye.
Here is an example :
