This is a good example what happen when you set lower RTH altitude, Also Im surprised that the P4 obstacle avoidance does not work well on 2nd object as it does for the first object
Great vid! Glad it all worked out and just go to Pastor Nate's sermon and you will be square.
Good reminder to always check that we set the RTH. With all the settings and pre-check things you can do, being OCD, as I sort of am is useful.
Amazing that your P4 didn't take a hint of damage. I've seen people that had a 2 foot fall that almost totaled it.
Great stuff man. Way to record your methodology for recovering as well.
The thing you didn't do, even though you said you were, was panic. This is the worst thing one can do in a "crisis" situation. You won't do the right thing if you panic. When someone encounters a situation like this, my method is to just immediately admit defeat, and sort of put it in my head that's it's gone, and then just calmly do the things that are necessary. That "no signal" is scary right?
Mine keeps on doing that even when in the air and I can't figure out why on one of my Phantoms. Hopefully the mod hack will do it.
Anyway, nice!
EDIT: I forgot to say, I would set the obstacle avoidance to "stop" or hover. That way, you can look and see what the situation is. It saved you from the first tree but not the second but if you were to have seen the bird hovering near the tree instead of trying to traverse a second, you might have "saved" it, even though your P4 hitting a tree doesn't do any damage. I'm going to church!
