Word to the wise .... don't start me on Fuel's .... I make a living out of blending and supervising Fuels for Civilian and Military use !! You don't know the half of the truth around fuels !!

Nigel

Manuel gets us everytime ...

Did you know that Manuel from Fawlty Towers died not long back ? Sad.

Loss of signal = RTH... Tracking battery level to try to ensure there is enough capacity to return home = Smart RTH

No...

Smart RTH = User initiated with S2

Low Battery RTH = As described, when the battery is low

Failsafe RTH = Lost signal

Hope that helps.

lol.....im still confused, but im gunna go with smart rth is in the ufo realm......it exists, but not yet fully understood.

RTH = when signal is lost, drone will automatically fly back to home point

Smart RTH = when battery is low the smart feature judges when to automatically fly drone back based on the distance it went. (It see's how much battery is used when flying out, then calculates how much it needs to come back, it then triggers SMART RTH to make sure drone comes back)

Thats what I believe it is anyway from what I learnt so far [emoji4]

No... that's exactly what it SHOULD be, but it's not! See manual pages above… Smart RTH is when you flick the switch to make it come back manually…

It's the terminology that makes it confusing. SMART should be when it's doing all the thinking itself. Instead, by definition in the manual, "Smart" is when YOU do the thinking and force it home by toggling S2.

What happens when you turn off smart RTH in the app? I will save you the suspense.

The machine will fly all over right until it autolands because the battery is toast. No RTH....

That my friend tells me that Smart RTH is exactly as I have described it.

The fact that the manual states otherwise is irrelevant.

By the way, there are a bunch of areas where there is conflicting information that goes against the operation of the drone. There's also are a bunch of areas where the details provided or lack thereof are inconclusive.

The app has nothing to do with Smart RTH. You can shut off the app, shut off the device and chuck it in the lake, and all you have to do is toggle the S2 switch on the remote to make the bird return to home.

I'm guessing that's why they called that particular RTH the "smart" one.

The fact that the manual states otherwise is irrelevant.

There are those on this forum that will tell you the manual is the bible.

The fact that you, sometimes me, think otherwise is EXACTLY why I continue to say there is still a lot of confusion.

This is agree with, especially when you factor in the DJI training videos that are also conflicting.

Has your friend been following this thread?
Let him read it, and post his own reply.

We all, are really trying to figure out this confusion, arguing and ignoring other peoples views is waist.
The goal is we and I'm including you, don't want to F**K-Up(Crash or loose your Phantom).
You got a P3S, do some testing.

At this point, I'm trusting @msinger post, If I can prove it wrong, I will post it.
