  • In this video, I demonstrate how the "return to home" and precision landing works on the DJI Mini 4 Pro. As a new drone pilot, you may be apprehensive about using the return to home feature as you may not be sure if it is reliable. This is a basic tutorial on how to use the return to home feature and some tips you should know before using it.

    The RTH capabilities of these modern drones is amazing. Good tutorial, and thanks for sharing Shawn.

    Shawn, like always this was a great tutorial. Although I follow your channel for a long time, this is my first comment. In fact: You and your tutorials brought me into flying my Mini 2 the right way from the beginning. From the first time I saw videos on your channel, I liked your voice and the calming, but straight forward way you lead us through your tutorials. This is so rare these days, especially in CZcams. Before you switched to your "new Life", I always wondered, who is the face behind that voice ? Now we also have a face, we can refer to when watching your videos. Please keep doing videos the way you do. We all in this growing drone community can only benefit from people like you. Thank you.

    I really like your CZcams videos, and not just the drone videos either. It’s so refreshing and, I might add, pretty unusual not to hear music, ‘What’s up’ etc. I usually stop any video the moment I can’t hear the reviewer. As always, a very informative video. Thank you

    If you have to pick between Air 3 vs Mini pro 4 which one would you pick.
    1) No constraint for money
    2) Want more value out of the money
    3) Quality of the product (Strength, longitivtiy, software)
    4) And will air 3 get active 360 track feature.

    Can you please do a video on the gain and expo settings to get smooth cinematic shots? I am struggling with this new m4p. Everything is just so jerky when I am filming. I had some good settings for the m2 and m3p but there were only 4 simple settings to adjust for pitch and yaw. Please do a video for the best setting for smooth cinematic shots.

    Why sometimes is the Home point on Earth off by a few yards on the Map interface? I notice it happens at random, I guess.
    I think the GPS of the drones and some maps just don't match that well, Sometimes Spot on.
    Something to be mindful of.

    @the_beauty_around_us Před 7 měsíci

    Sorry if I missed this in the video. When you fly in high winds, often a warning message will appear that says RTH is unavailable. What is your experience with this and why does it do that? What would the drone do if you lose connection at that time?

    Another good tutorial Shawn, but one crucial thing you forgot to mention is that if you return to home against a strong head wind you could have major problems as the drone can't legislate for wind speed...

    • @stehume
      @stehume Před 4 měsíci

      Im new to this so please forgive my ignorance. Are you talking about if the battery died then it would not have enough to get back?, as if not then even if the wind was to blow it of course on route back to the home pad it would surly just keep heading for the co-ordinates of its home pad?

  • @bigvalexander8917
    @bigvalexander8917 Před 8 měsíci

    I needed this Shawn. Still on the mini 2 but I have severe anxiety about losing sight of my drone because I don't trust the RTH. I've been on some epic shoots where my footage is limited because I'm afraid to fly too far out of sight, which I know is ridiculous.. Question, if you're flying somewhere very windy and the drone goes up to the max altitude for RTH, what happens if you start getting the "high wind warning"? Could the drone crash? From a fellow Canook, I enjoy the content! 🇨🇦🍁

    • @AirPhotography
      @AirPhotography  Před 8 měsíci

      These drones can handle some pretty extreme wind, even when you’re getting the wind warning. in extremely powerful when there is that chance that the drone could lose control but that would have to be a very extreme situation. Definitely if it had to come home for that short period of time, it should be OK in most winds

    @Stefan_Boerjesson Před 8 měsíci +2

    You advice us to climb to 7 meters and wait a bit. Which camera//sensor/device records a picture of the landing pad? Doesn't the drone just use ultra sonics for distance measuring?

    • @AirPhotography
      @AirPhotography  Před 8 měsíci +2

      Indeed, it does but it also uses the cameras to basically take a snapshot of where it’s taking off from. It uses that when landing to try and find the precise landing spot. If you’re using precision landing feature. Otherwise it will just use GPS to get to the general location which is usually fairly accurate as well.

    • @Stefan_Boerjesson
      @Stefan_Boerjesson Před 8 měsíci

      @@AirPhotography A snapshot, straight forward? That would call for a fantastic mathematical precision to calculate horisontal distance that close. Why not angled the camera down and take a real picture? Then we could talk, I think. My guess is that pure GPS is mostly used.
      The new shadow symbol, used in the Mini 4 pro and the Mavic 3 pro (!), is excellent for aiming. Used it yesterday when strong wind warnings were issued, and landed within less of an inch, using the shadow.
      Turning off the downward protection precision landings are easy to achieve.

  • @SubArcticAdventures
    @SubArcticAdventures Před 7 měsíci

    Two things: can you change the settings for RTH in battery depletion mode? For instance, if I have the drone actively tracking me over water, i don’t want it to return to the last updated home point, as that could now be in the water. The other thing is.. how did you do that landing in your hand without the sensors preventing the landing. Bonus question: how did you turn off the drone when it landed in your hand?

    • @brandon9689
      @brandon9689 Před 3 měsíci

      From the camera view screen first press the 3 dots on the top right corner to open the settings menu
      Go to the first top tab "Safety"
      Scroll Down to "Update Home Point"
      A small box will appear in the center of the screen with 2 white rectangular options Aircraft or Controller.
      Most of the time, pressing "Controller" is the way to go. Especially if you're already flying and you walked away from your start point.
      Don't press "Aircraft" unless it's currently hovering above a safe landing zone or you really know what you're doing.
