This flight was for showing my son and a friend how it is to fly the Phantom 4. I did not intend to publish it. Out of habit I recorded the screen and the Phantom camera.
We headed for a huge ship in the distance. Just like in the previous flight where I filmed the seals, everything was going really well. But on the way back we had a very strong head wind... and I was running out of battery!
Ouch!!!

how to save 100 euros? Just listen to the drone.
andy cooper he wouldn't have to get a boat for 100 euros if he flew home when the drone said it first.
Theost21 but he could have saved the drone and the money to get it
I'd say the €100 is worth the adventure. I'm sure him, or anyone watching here would be quick to not listen to the drone.
Theost21 ??? if you mean to steal it it will not happend he have exactly gps location of the drone
asdf asdfdf steal? No what do you mean? And why are u using three questionmarks, are you triggered?
When he was searching the sand bank I was like he really needs a drone right now...... Oh wait.
I was more like....amm dude you habe the last position on your control device just go for it.
Drone: "fkn guy is gonna drop me in the water if I dont do something"
Emergency lands
Drone: "you're welcome next time listen to me"
had me laughing; thanks!
STFU
YAH?
VnM ILLuZioNz-GAMING AND CUBING do you even know what that means?
I have my own Phantom. This video was like a horror movie for me! It was pretty predictable too. The drone knows how far it can go before having to auto land.

If you started at 100% and not 85%........
First rule always take off with a fully charged battery 🔋
Philip James and only Fly Out to 55%
Andrew M youre right
@@nicolas2877 Well if you have tail wind flying out 55 percent will kill all your drones and convert them to sub marines.
Well technically, ignoring winds and such, if your starting battery-life is lower, the point of no-return battery-life is lower too. With 85% it would be 42,5% not 50%. Obviously, there should be safety added and the environment taken into account. So, yes I agree with all of you.
from 40% onwards you see all the stages of grief.
This comment had me chuckling
good video i like the way you break into English for your international viewers
Lol didnt even realize he switched on the fly until I read the comment XD
should have gone lower. wind speed should be less
Arnis Tarassu but if there's still wind, if you go too low it could knock you into the water
I would say between 1 - 2 meters above sea would be ok.
Arnis Tarassu 😜😜
Arnis Tarassu nah more like 5-8

Under rated comment
So, why don't he digs to find the drone (and some diamonds), before the night?
my rule of thumb.... 30% for flight, 30% for return home, 30% for "shit happens"
what is 10% for?
Lexi Pink 30 + 30 + 30 + 10=100
very wise. I would probably give myself an extra 5-10% flight time and jus keep SA (situational awareness). so for me 40-30-20-10 would be a happy place. Since that 20% is a pretty big "oh crap" buffer. Of course I usually don't fly in a straight line away from myself so my RTB is usually shorter than my overall flight.
FatCatHat Entertainment but with stuff like this using it until it is completely dead can harm the battery
Joe Brown what about the other 20%
That looked like a fatal disaster waiting to happen, you were very lucky not to get caught in the rising tide!
he's like that minion from that Austin Powers movie where Austin slowly comes at the guy with a steam roller and the minion just stands there screaming as it very very slowly comes at him.... much like the very slow rising tide.
"I'd like to hire a pixellated boat, and its captain."
*drunk sea captain
Yes the boat owner was pixellated already, that is how thing look when you are drunk.
The Captain was drunk lol
too funny
Real MVP we all need
I'm so glad you found your drone this was like watching a horror movie for me
lol I was thinking the same thing
Brian Denny me too... I can't watch a film which in the pilot just leaves his drone... it's just like horror... particulary if it's Phantom 4
Brian Denny I felt the same too
i was just waiting for a jumpscare...thank god it didnt happen
Brian Denny same here
Dude, just fly it back yourself. DO NOT use return to home if you dont have to. That is the main reason your battery died so fast.
would disabling the camera help and let it fly back without broadcasting?
why does this mode use any more batttery than manual flight? cause i would of thought it would be a good backup. eg battery really low, it disables broadcasting video and reduces transmission power to controller and attempts to just get home based on GPS. then when its back within short range the manual controll could resume now that its back within reception? never used one so probaly 100% wrong
Yup, pilotage skills trump the autopilot, every single time.
rrrohan2288 because return to home flies back slowly, so it takes more time therefore using more battery. fly it back yourself and you can fly back much faster
on the way out your we flying at 25 meters per second. on the way back Return to Home was flying at a slow 8-9 meters per second
why does it slow down? it almost needs two modes. one that flies back at regular speed then another that flies back ASAP on low battery.
For anyone else that runs into this situation here is what you should do.
1. drop altitude, upper winds are always higher (especially 225 feet 73 meters)
2. Put drone in sport mode. It will give you more distance for the same amount of remaining battery life.
This man could have had his drone all the way back wih 15 to 20 % battery life
I came here to say the same thing- get lower. Personally, I would've put it in Sport Mode and gassed it (been there, done that), but not sure I'd actually suggest it as the best method - I haven't compared the battery usage between the two. Is it really better? Don't know for sure, but it sure feels like it when that battery alert is beeping and you're out over the ocean.
Sports mode is much stronger against the wind ….. lower altitude and sports mode would have got him home. @@FriedToast
He was in sport mode, but sport mode drain battery a lot
I guess the full correct procedure woud've been this:
1 - Stop recording
2 - Turn off all sensors
3 - Lower altitude
4 - Change to Atti mode and Sport mode
5 - Pilot must drive the drone, not the Return Home automatic mode to save positioning power
Exactly I almost lost my drone one time by the sea because of the wind but as soon as I dropped the altitude it started coming back.
...I'll simply say this, you're damned lucky there was a sandbar in the middle of that bay.
If I had a boat man, I would have taken you straight away. None of those lengthy conversations
omg
Teddy Bass lol
Teddy Bass same, after all you would buy the boat to go and sail with it. I would have even done it for free
So if some random dude comes up to you and asks for you to use expensive fuel to take them to a sand palate (where you could easily be killed and or robbed) for a drone that is supposedly incredibly expensive? You must not be too bright.
Exactly - the boat driver was at a party getting drunk! That's why you pay him, as more than the bit of fuel and his time, you are taking him away from the party.
“I need to hire a boat to retrieve my drone”
“Drone you say, how much it cost?”
“1500”
“Ok boat rental is 1400”
Might as well just add another 100 bucks, buy a new drone, save a ton of hassle.
lol
repairs is 100 bucks
euros*
Overall not a bad price for the story you now have.
that thing was running out of battery quick
Aaron Timm Cause it Was not near him witch makes it lose batteri fast

Aaron Timm because of the wind
The auto pilot fucked it up, he need to go faster to get to the destination before losing power. He loses more power going slow against the wind.
no idea
Improper battery management and headwind, bad combo.

If it's really windy, you should drop your altitude, so it's less stress on ur drone. I've been flying my mavic in Greece yesterday. And it was proper windy. Dropping altitude makes a very big difference. Buddy
Yep, the windspeed gradient reduced with altitude
In an alternate time line you crashed the drone in the sea and it washes up in New York City. That's how Casey Niestat was born
The whole time I could hear the wind blowing hard so knew it was going to turn out bad. Then you pushed it way to far in that wind. Many mistakes.
Why were you acting so angry, this was all your fault. Very very stupid of you to do something like this with such high winds, it only takes common sense to know that wind is going to slow you down!
Mister Multirotor shouldve listened to rth
Mister Multirotor he wasnt realy angry
this guy sounded angry to you? I must sound furious all the time
He doesn't sound like super angry, but he was annoyed
the kind of person that gives the hobby a bad reputation for the rest of us not only by flying in stupid areas, but by doing stupid shit whilst flying.
0:23 flying with a tail wind away from you when you know you are going to be pushing the battery.
1:20 "i am now in sports mode" (nope)
3:03 "cancel rth, it thinks it doesn't have enough battery" (it thought correctly, your battery is damaged)
3:11 "i do need to be careful" (he says in atti mode ignoring the rth alarm)
4:04 "i say RTH and it will RTH asap" (rth is slow and in rth it definitely wont have enough battery, maybe if you flew manually back it would have).
3:59 "my drone is drifting because of the wind" (in sports mode it wouldn't do that, maybe a hint)
Hey bud! That was a fun adventure. RUclips videos can rarely hold my attention, let alone for 21 minutes, but this one did. Great job!
Thanks Ken. Appreciate it. I got more of those :D. Such as this one: ruclips.net/video/QcJsUCahRS4/видео.html

Yeah Ken. But you're glued to drones. There was no way you were gonna pass up this story.
So True Ken Heron. The suspense was killing me! :P
If Ken likes your videos.....then I too will subscribe - good job - you earned a new subscriber - happy you got her back - those winds when returning home will get you every time
It's great u got ur drone back.. ! My rule is: If I fly out in a straight line, I always return home at 60% battery..
Good idea but not best because if u fly with wind -> -> -> 40% battery it can be much more harder to coming back into headwind < -
This has to be the dumbest drone video I have seen in a while..
1. You manually switch to ATTI and fly for over 4 km without knowing.
2. You disregard the warning of RTH which the drone calculates based on wind and how much power you need to return home.
3. You fly with downwind for 4 km and disregarding that it takes roughly twice as much power to go back against the wind.
4. You still keep it in ATTI when leaving RTH which makes it drift a lot since it leaves out GPS positing, meaning it drifts away quite fast in the wind.
5. When you lost the drone you can easily track it the DJI Go 4 for it's last location, even when the drone is off.
Would recommend you to read the manual, but glad to see you got the drone back!
you live you learn....... dont have to bash the guy you jerk.
He's right though...

So you ignore the warning and wonder why the battey dies? Top
2fastHarley oh well, not for us to judge, good entertainment eh bud :-)
Not sure why you cancelled the phantoms initial attempt to RTH around 60%. Smart return home initiates at bingo fuel (this case battery power) to save your drone. Seems in this case the phantom was smarter than the operator. Glad u were able to recover it and thanks for posting for others to learn!
Not even a drone ‘pilot’ and I KNEW THIS was a BAD idea. ‘Course I DID fly helos. This is called ‘Flight PLANNING’ ha ha ha
Just a tip: don't use digital stabilization. It just looks like shit
AuraMaster I want to see something. So it's ok
That's a bad tip. I'd rather see an area that gets cut off a lot than a random blur of shit.
The Real Slim Shady or you could use a physical stabilizer.... Instead of fixing shirt video in post-production. Like a gimble.
AuraMaster so, after his drone landed there, he had to buy a 'physical stabilizer', then go back to the shore and make a proper video? dude. ain't nobody got time for that.
Yeah that's true. Like he said, he wasn't planning on crash landing his drone and going on an adventure to get it back!
Wow that stressed me out just watching.

I'm glad that you retrieved it succesfully.
Quadcopters are good tools for aerial photography, but very inefficient in flying any distances. Unless you often record hoovering, you'd be better off with a powerful tricopter (more energy efficient, stable in strong winds, less drag and props outside the FoV) or even a delta wing airplane for long-range (ideally contra-rotating props, high lift, high glide capacity, can fairly easily be made IP64 and floatable, built-in front cam). Building it yourself (or prefab parts) and configuring it exactly for the purpose, would be best.
ruclips.net/video/bVZZs1nNoK0/видео.html
Yea but that digital stabiliser tho
You got caught by the old tail wind going and headwind coming back. I have seen that happen with not so happy ending. Davy Jones has more than one Phantom in his collection on the bottom of the sea. You might conciser a Mavic. They can handle 7+ mile round trip. They can fly 22.5 minutes and have much lower drag coefficient in a head on wind. They only cost $999 U.S.D. A bonus is you can carry it with you much easier than a P4. You do not have to mess with taking off and putting on props ever. Folded up it is the size of small loaf of bread. Really great video. Another nail biter! Happy Flying ;-)
Don Fish Jr. Davy Jones? The Ghost Captain from Pirates of the Caribbean?
No. Davy Jones was the spirit or ghost that ,according to ancient mariners of the 17th century(1600 to1700), presided over sunken ships and dead sailors at the bottom of the sea. Going to Davy Jones locker was a euphemism for drowning and being lost at sea, also where shipwrecks wound up(in Davy Joneses Locker). Disney just adopted it from ancient tales of the sea. Or it was where a member of the Monkees kept his jim shorts and sneakers in high school! Ha Ha Ha ;-)
Gym shorts. Although, if his name is Jim, it would be accurate...
I like spongebob too!
Don Fish Jr. only $999
sarcasm intended.
You made the classic rookie mistake, never fly against the wind when returning home fly against the wind when traveling out and with the wind when returning home
And you must to start at 100% battery, not 85%.
QuadcoptersNL agreed!
How do you fly with the wind if it’s against your relative position, lol.
@@seewhyaneyesee Your question makes no sense. The idea is that, for instance, if the wind is coming from the north, you start your flight going north. It will go slowly. When the battery sounds the return to home limit, it will fly south, but now the wind is pushing it and it will return quickly and with battery to spare. If you don't want to fly into the wind, then a good idea is to make a very short flight to and from the direction you intend to go, and check the ground speed going and the ground speed returning. If the ground speed returning is much slower, you must allow extra time to return. If the ground speed returning is nearly zero, don't fly.
Over the ocean the idea of getting lower isn't likely to help all that much and at 4 km distance could lose control signal and perhaps dip into the ocean.
@@thomasmaughan4798 Well, that advise sounds good, but is over simplified. He wanted to film an object in the distance. What he should have realized was that the object was downwind and this meant he should be very conservative with battery and start returning home much earlier than 50%. It almost seemed that the drone did much better in analyzing the situation than he was.
I Havent watched the whole video so work with me But
It gives the warning when it KNOWS it can make it...
atleast within 10-25 Meters at most
so NEVER ignore it
the drone cannot estimate windage that slows down a return leg unfortunately.
I love how you censored the boat XD
Drones need parashoots that deploy when it hits 1% battery and a inflatable floaty
You can build that yourself real easy, all you need is a parachute, a micro servo and a switch on your controller. that's all.
All DJI drones will auto-land by 10%. Its programmed in their system. Unless it has been shut off in the setting
there are - parazero-dot-com for example, or marsparachutes-dot-com
*parachutes
Just adds more weight=shorter flights
The fact it slowed down would have made me say "Screw return to home" and manually controlled it at full speed.
Artidox same
at first i thought that too but wouldn`t the battery drain even faster if you went fullspeed? it would be great if somehow we were able to make the battery last longer like adding extra battery somehow, or like a powerbank just in case it cant make the return
I have tested it. You need more battery if you use RTH.
Use Sport Mode is way more battery efficient.
Always cancel RTH that thing limit your speed to 22 mph
2x speed at 1.33x more power, I say 1.33x more because I consider that hovering takes N power and going forward at 45° angle will also take N power. So max speed will consume 2N, half speed is 1.5N and hovering is 1N. So max speed over / half speed would be like 2 / 1.5 = 1.33. So cancel RTH and step on it. Also fly as low as possible, if you are against the wind. I don't have hard data about this, but my 2 cents say I'm right, mostly because I know that much of the energy is wasted holding the thing up.
that true... quadcopter not plane... quadcopter have uniques mah/km... if u to slow it will consume that battery... it have middle speed that can reach the efficiency range
You are correct in saying that when going into a headwind (like this situation), then the most efficient flying was/is to go maximum speed. Not canceling RTH and flying in S mode (as fast of airspeed as possible) back was the worst thing he could have done. This drone could have made it back much further but lessons learned. We all learn, many times by our mistakes. Glad he got it back.
I was thinking that too. I never rely on RTH as a navigational aid. I will fly the aircraft back myself - RTH is only used as a last resort.
not same more volt drop more amps will pull out to cover the lost volt
I'm so glad you found the drone, I watched it with excitement
It's not the drone's fault, it's his... He should of listened to the software.
Sport Mode is the best for return.
I was thinking the same thing. Have you done it so you know for sure?
Dirt Farmer I have the impression that in sport mode the battery efficiency in relation to the distance traveled. But I did not do a 100% accurate test.
A video on this issue would be interesting.
I think all drone owners should at least test it if they don't want to lose their drone but my guess is that it would be best to put it in sport mode and get back as fast as possible especially if a headwind is involved. Another good tip is to lower the elevation of the Phantom where the wind resistance is usually less.
I never paid attention to the detail of lowering the altitude to beat the wind. That's a good tip.
I can think of at least two instances where flying back at a lower altitude saved my plane. One of those times was when I got "stuck" on the other side of a river that was 3.5 miles across!
"It said, "Return To Home", but I cancelled it, & now it is against the wind." ALMOST, famous last words! Very lucky!
If it was my drone I would bring it back at the first warning
Very exciting film. I really wish I had bought some popcorn before watching! I would love to do that but the media have turned the whole "Drone" thing into a nightmare and made people paranoid.
Another clever back seat driver's advice: you should have dropped altitude and practically skimmed the sea. With so small rotors you wouldn't be in the ground effect, but the wind there should have been slower.
This is why you should play it safe with something that expensive
No guts no glory...!
Safe and smart
BELLEND.
My thoughts exactly!

What a great adventure.A little advise my friend!Just a friendly tip from a fellow drone pilot.When you get airborne, switch to ATT mode at the altitude you intend to fly and let the wind drift the drone for a few seconds.I know it's a very basic test. It's true that wind direction can and does change over distance, altitude and time, but it's a very good indicator of wind direction and may help you avoid this problem in future! The wind can be moving in a very different direction from your seat on the ground and at only 400-500 feet.Do this and you will lessen your risk.It might cut down on your fantastic adventures though!Great video!Thank and greetings from Australia.If your ever down under come for dinner with my family!:-)
Moogy Banna Hilstopaflingon great idea!
8:30 The whole time I'm thinking, "get down as low as you can"!! You are flying into a headwind and you will have a lot more wind even just 50 meters higher.
Yeah you are right, the lower down the less wind, and it may have had some additional assistance from ground effect (?)
"All the gear and no idea" fits well for this guy
Should have listened to the software!! It new it had to turn around!
This guy's voice is a mix of crazy russian hacker and Arnold schwarzenegger
Invidus Daemon But it’s Dutch...
wouldnt it be smart to go lower bc wind is weaker?
I know this comment is old but if you fly low over the water the tidal force night actually pull it down to the water, or it gets damaged by salt from the sea, or it loses reception

Nikolas_ James 😂
I don't even think it would have made it because of the wind. But ye somehow that's true.
There's an interesting theory about headwinds and tailwinds. The headwind always hurts you more than the tailwind helps you in round trips.
Say you can go 20mph and the wind is 10mph. You have to travel an hour instead of 30 minutes to go 10 miles out in a headwind, but 20 minutes instead of 30 to come back; net cost 20 minutes.
So W/(V+W) savings on tail, and W/(V-W) cost on headwind. So the wind costs W/(V-W) - W/(V+W) = 2W^2 // (V+W)(V-W) of one-way time, or, W^2 // (V+W)(V-W) round-trip cost (as ratio of no-wind time). Notice how it goes to infinity as wind approaches your velocity.
No. You didnt rent a boat. You hired a drunk with a boat when nobody else would give you a ride. If it wasnt for the drunk, you wouldnt have that drone. Remember that.

Squirrel ok thanks brother Squirrel. you're the man
The MAVIC 3 by DJI will conquer both air, land, and sea! If it lands in the water, it will turn into a mini sub and swim it's way back to you. After all, the deep oceans are the last frontier on earth. Once everyone gets bored of flying in the air, future drones will be able to travel into deep oceans.
Thuis is what RUclips was made for ! very enjoyable short film !
One heck of an adventure. I'm glad you were able to recover your drone. I would use your pilot app next time to help you pin point it better. Since you landed it you could've used the image of its location in google maps on your go app and plugged that same point in google maps after closing the app to give you some GPS help on a more specific spot of location. Great video!
The drone app shows you where the drone landed and the tablet will have a location chip, so you bring those two together and there's your drone, no need to guess where it is.
Oh my GODDD!!! adventure? Epic video!!!

It shows that much better pre flight planning must include wind direction
Glad I follow FAA rules by keeping my drone within my visual sight
Return to home takes so long put that shit in sport mode and book it tf back
matt yonker that's why the battery drained so much faster
SugarBooty I do it with my mavic all the time, if you trash a battery it is not the end of the world, but return to home is slow af, and sport mode doesn't waste as much battery as you would think
most of the power is probably keeping it in the air, if you get home fast it wont keep in the air for as long
Sportmode saved my drone from drowning in italy. Listen to the wind and fly not too high.
@@MichaelFlatman Exactly every second you spend in the air is one more second you waste energy fighting gravity.
I suffered too much watching this video.
The further he took his drone out, the more astonishing the range or distance that I am amazed but as he turn his drone back, the distance and low battery power had me on the edge of my seat. 😥😬🤪 The suspense was killing me! 😱 (😅😂🤣) He landed his drone as close back to him on a sand bank and had to found a way to get to it by boat ⛵ before the tide sweep it away. Finally he manage to found someone with a boat to retrieve his drone but it was some other person that was along with him on the boat who found it and retrieve his drone to him, boy what a nerve racking moment that went well. 👍👍👍 I hope lesson is learn here, 1.) You should have follow the warning to RTH (Return To Home). 2.) When returning back and your drone is against headwinds, always fly back at lower altitude where the winds are a little bit less windy than above most often. 3.) Don't take your drone out such a far away distance over the sea or body of water because the wind 🌬️ (or Mother Nature) can be a bitch (or a blessing, depending on the circumstance, well in this case, a bitch, lol 🤣) keeping your drone suspended mid air or slowing down your drone that was trying to reach back to the start point. 🤨
They need to make a drone with float things on the bottom so you don't accidentally fly your drone to the bottom of the ocean
Hawiian Potato they do but with that current it will disappear in minutes
then what?
Drones aren't able to fly in water, so at most you would only be able to fly it to the top of the ocean, after that it will sink.
Splash 3 drone look it up...

I thought you should never see the propellers on the phantom 4? Didn't they raise it? I thought only the phantom 3 shows propellers in forward flight?
General HowTo that's what I was thinking. something off here.
In Sportsmode, you still see them. In Normal flying, you don't!
That's the DJI Inspire model, the one that raises the propellers.
Filipe R. What's the inspire model? The phantom 4 every model resided the props.
General HowTo English isn't my native language, don't know what resided means... but DJI have a drone that raises the propellers, the Inspire One. Worth google it, it's an amazing drone!
You should do more of these, you have a talent for suspense, and drama. Congrats!
If I knew my drone shut down at 12% battery I definitely would've known flying back wouldn't have enough battery
