Thanks for the test, Nobby. Reassuring. Whenever my batteries are at 28-29 % it is always return to home time for whichever drone I am flying. Wishing you better weather and cheers from Wisconsin, U.S.A.
Lets hope the weather changes soon George Thanks 👍
Thank you, Nobbygreen. I almost missed that update.
Thanks!
Happy Flying!
You're welcome 👍
Interesting video. The RTH will kick in sooner if the drone is further away from the home point. I think it depends on how far away the drone is.
You mentioned having to see the orientation of the drone… although the CAA say you should be able to see this.. but it’s not actually law. The legislation doesn’t specify orientation (yet) 👍
Yes I did state this in the video about certain flying conditions and distance 👍 thanks 🙏
Good bit of advice Nobby as usual all the best mate.
thanks Graham 👍
As always an educational test Nobby. Better to get home too early than to buy a new drone. Keep up the good work with these videos. Grtz from the Netherlands
It sure is Peter thanks 🙏
Thanks for testing for so we don’t have to. Cheers.🍻
You’re welcome as always 👍 thanks 🙏
Thanks for that Nobby. 30% is my minimums these days after I almost ran out of battery once in a very dodgy take-off/landing area (below trees beside a wide river). Interesting comment on metric vs imperial and when I think about it I like imperial for height and MPH but metric for distance.
Pretty safe bet at 30%. Be nice if you could mix the values eh? :) Thanks 👍
My M3Pro did a RTH at 20% battery the other day, I agree it seems just about right.
Yep. I didnt see any difference from before. Thanks 👍
Maybe the battery getting older is causing the feel of earlier RTH call, also have to keep in mind if you're more far away its going to estimate battery consumption to get back home what means earlier RTH. IF theres software based adjustment, it might be percentual add to RTH call so no drone would be left behind because wind conditions might drain your battery earlier than expected.
That’s quite possible 👍
Thanks Nobby.
You’re welcome ☺️ thanks 🙏
Thanks for the video Nobby. Another job well done my friend. I am in total agreement with you on trying not to run batteries much below 20% in fact I normally try to have somewhere around 20% left when I land for battery health reasons. Thanks again Nobby. Cheers, Bob
Hey Bob. Yes indeed you can soon end up with a critical low battery if your not careful 👍 thanks 🙏
Since I had the extended life battery it gives me alot of time to do what I need, before buying that I also noticed it was coming back at like 20%... Good vids mate
Thanks 🙏 yes I think it’s pretty much standard unless you are further out 👍
Interesting, also was nice to see distances in feet, made much more sense to me 🙂 cheers.
I usually use metric but yes it kind of makes sense 👍
Interesting test Nobby, you should move to Spain, less rain! Many thanks for sharing the info
That would be a good plan Shaun 😀 I’ll start saving up haha thanks 🙏
Thanks for sharing this video Nobby! 20% sounds a safe bet! Just in case!🤞
Thanks David and you’re welcome ☺️ 👍
Look the same for me when flying my mini 3 Pro👍
Yep thanks 👍
Colder weather lower battery life goes hand in hand nice one mate
Sure does mate 👍 thanks 🙏
Thanks for the video. I would assume that DJI bring incredibly clever, the drone/RC works out when to initiate RTH based on the distance and height that the drone is away to ensure it has enough battery to reach the home point. If you simply fly the drone 20ft up and 50ft away I imagine the RTH will initiate with less battery remaining compared to if you fly the drone 300ft hight and 1000ft away from the home point. I will try this test out this week, weather permitting.
Exactly that. Enjoy the test 👍
Yes precisely, all dji drones do exactly this since the Phantoms. In the old dji Go4 interface, it was a bar at the top very clearly indicating the green zone chasing down to the orange, then red, depending on distance from home point and battery level. In today's app, it's the same really, but only displayed as the tiny circle around the battery percentage. Go further out, and the red/orange portion should take up more of the perimeter.
awesome test, brother.... I can verify the Mini 4 pro and the Mini 2 mimics what your results on the Mini 3 pro were.... At 20%, the drone initiates the RTH. I reckon the only reason it would initiate it earlier than that is if the drone is further away from the homepoint, eh?
Hey Kevin. Yes i agree, the further you are out the quicker it will initiate. That makes perfect sense, as you know it calculates how long it will take to get back. Keep safe man 🙏
And wind and battery temp and controller position ect.
@@derekpask3633 yes indeed. That’s what I said in the video 👍
Yesterday my mini 4 pro rth at 30% , I couldn't understand why at the time, but soon realised it had accounted for the distance away, which was further than I realised. 😬
@@timothystravels8492 yes it will do 😁 I did mention this in the video 👍 thanks 🙏
Hey man thanks for the tests and a mention like its dependent on conditions etc , but i still think the battery critical warnings bleep little earlier 😅 ....
You’re welcome man. Yep that don’t take long to kick in 👍
Hey @kamikazekaos, wozzup dude. I haven't updated my 3 pro due to your previous into about it destroying the fcc hack from Gal. My focus keeps wandering, but I need fcc above all else. Can you please confirm that it I update my drone, I will permanently lose my hack?.
Did you manage to get yours back to fcc?
I lost my free fcc hack and purchased drone tweeks fcc app all working fine
No i didn't, just get the drone tweeks hack dont cost much for a android @@maddyd7640
Ye good point Nobby, gorra be careful. Oh, and yes like you say the mini 3 pro is one belting little drone, it gives the mini 4 a run for its money as you point out.😊
The mini 3 pro sure does. Great little drone 👍
Another excellent test Doc🥼.
Regarding the Low Battery 🪫 - RTH Activation. In this test, the drone was in close proximity to home and activated at around 20% charge.
If you had flown a greater distance from home, would the Low Battery 🪫 - RTH activation have happened with a higher battery 🔋 % so the drone could fly back home and land safely? In other words, Is it smart enough to know how much battery it needs to RTH? Maybe 🤔 I’ve answered my own question?
Regards
Lou
It sure would Lou 👍 the weather and wind would also play a big part. Thanks 🙏
Picking up so many tips from watching your videos but have a question I have the air 2s been out this morning took loads of photos all came out blurry not one good one sun had just came out nice and bright morning any tips please.
Check that your not in manual focus 👍
It depends the distance you are away what if you was 2km away it would kick 8n earlier
That’s correct and I did mention this at the start of the video 👍
Mine has always been around 19 to 21% on the return to home cycle.
Yes indeed. Pretty much standard procedure thanks 🙏
Hi nobby it's Alan from Ipswich. We are getting 48MPH wind's here today. Luckily it was 12 yesterday so took my mini 3 pro out. Looks like the weather is not good for the next few days or more. I don't know if you remember but I was getting NO SOUND from the DJI CONTROLLER, I Don't know how many there are now? My one was the first with a screen on. Anyway the temperature seems to effect it. When the weather is warmer the sound seems to work better it hasn't all come back but most of it has, sounds odd but it makes a difference.
Hi Alan. The weather is supposed to get better towards the end of the week hopefully. That controller sounds like a dry joint somewhere if it works when its warm? I would get it sent back and get them to take a look personally 👍
@@nobby-green hi, I don't have any insurance on the Drone, I got it from ARGO'S . how would I go about sending it back? . Many thanks Alan
@@user-zi9ij4lz8m email DJI support@dji.com they will ask you to raise a ticket it should be covered under warranty if it’s less than 24 months old. They give 2 year warranty now. 👍
@@nobby-green hello Nobby, can you please help me. I do not have internet and when I turn on controller on the home screen it says LOGIN SESSION EXPIRING IN 3DAYS. What do I need to do? I didn't set it up a friend did so it has his email address on there he doesn't know what user name he used? Do I need to connect it to the internet and it will not come on the screen again? Many thanks Alan
@@user-zi9ij4lz8m you should see you user info under profile from the main screen. You will need internet connection to sign in again when it expires 👍
We even are having rain in Las Vegas today.
Jeez glad it’s not just me 😀
Beautiful here in Sydney Australia 😂 Perfect for flying Air 2 S’s lol.
@@waynegreene6405 haha everyone has the sun but the uk. Actually we have it today 👍
Where did you tap on the screen the flight status information?
On the in flight section. Neat short cut eh? Thanks 🙏
@@nobby-green Yes, that looks very handy!
Coming back with new material. Picking up the function "Update Home Point" I tested it and got scared. Here's the screen recording: ruclips.net/video/rUQWjCITZx8/видео.html. Why the Home Point out in the water? It was a fly around Home Point. It corrected itself after a few seconds, but the beginning was scary.
The final landing was not exactly at the spot either.
Possibly you didn’t give it enough time for the update 🤷♂️ I have seen this happen before but good job it righted itself 👍
@@nobby-green Checking the original screen recording times are like this:
Selected "Update Home Point".
02:08. Clicking "Controller" and OK is confirmed.
02:13. Out of the menus, Change of Home Point confirmed.
02:27. RTH is demanded using the RTH button on the RTC pro controller.
Then the circus starts.
This adds up to 19 seconds from "Control + OK" to the actual use of RTH.
I will try this again giving the system, let's say 1 minute of time, 2 minutes....
I also note that the coordinates of the controller is some 1-2 meter closer to the building then the real position. GPS uncertainty....
Evening Nobby what is the law in the uk for flying next to motorway thinking about doing a hyperlaspes near where I stay. Don't want to end up in trouble with the law lol cheers 👍
Theres no actual law as such, but you have to be wary of over flight of busy roads, because it can be classed as crowds. If you are flying at the side of the motorway theres no problem. 👍
@nobby-green thanks for replying wasn't to sure stay up in Scotland looking at doing a hyperlapse at the queen'sferry crossing 😀 👍
@@slhk5848 👍
Good morning Nobby. Are you a member of any drone club? Also do you think having a2 cofc is worth having I fly air3 thinking of doing the course wanted to get your thoughts on it first cheers.
@@slhk5848 im not a member of any clubs but having the A2 cof C is definitely beneficial. You can fly closer in built up areas for the larger drones. Plus you will get a better understanding of the technical information 👍
Do you really need the music background?
Yes otherwise you would be watching a silent video when it’s sped up 👍
Recently I made 6 flights with the Mavic 3 pro and all ended with low level battery warnings. After getting home the batteries showed 14-15% battery left. That looks like 15% of the stated air time of 40 minutes == 6 minutes remaining.
I wonder what the DJI algorithms contain. In a flight more far away different throttle was used and the battery indicator was "all over the scale".... Flying home using lower power, eventually cutting off recording... Would that give more distance?
ruclips.net/video/kI4lqn03U6I/видео.html
In the very end the right joystick was disregarded by the system.
you do have to be careful pushing the batteries to their limits. They soon go to Critical landing. Thanks👍
@@nobby-green You sy "critical landing". I think I know what it is. No control at all even though there's some battery left, as in the link I posted.
During the last flights I admit I was hooked on the feeling, flying and recording, and forgot watching the battery status. Being, in my eyes, close to home, and promptly heading home, there was full control al the way. Even turning the camera during landing was a controlled maneuver.
DJI use good margins!
@@Stefan_Boerjesson yes that’s right. Forced landing when that happens 👍
@@nobby-green Thanks Nobby! I'm aware of it by now and makes sure I do the necessary moves in time, when I still can.
Where's d curry 🍻??
haha... did you not receive it through the post?
@@nobby-green on the way then?? Yum!!
@@MavericksDrone 😃
Annoying music is it really necessary, spoils the video for me.
I get your point however when speeding up between clips you would have a silent movie. To be fair it is a little loud Thanks 👍
A good rule of thumb is that 30% or at least 20% battery is a good time to go home .
Sure is 👍 thanks 🙏
