    NOTE: If your drone has front-facing sensors it should avoid trees and buildings returning home if enabled in your settings.
    However, it might not avoid small building antennas, wires, and thin tree branches!
    Stay Safe & Happy Flying!

      Any toughts about the mavic air 2? I'll expect that he will not have 4k60. Only 30. Also in my opinion the price will be slightly more expensive than the current mavic air, and less than the mavic pro.
      I will be glad to know what do you think about it

      X-Factor can I fly like 1,500 feet down in a canyon? OR 2,000 feet down below 0ft take off point?

    • @xavier_arthur
      @xavier_arthur  4 года назад +1

      I'm pretty sure Yes you can, although I've never gone below -600', just be sure that the Drone has clear exposure to the sky so it can pick up and hold a GPS signal!
      This will give it stability throughout the flight!
      Happy Flying 😎

      @@xavier_arthur thanks buddy. I want to tell you that I really enjoy all your videos. Your pretty awesome and all your experience has helped many of us. I don't understand why you don't have a million followers, subscribers.
      My drone will have plenty of sky above it when I go in a canyon. Just wasn't sure if it would go into landing mode. Lots of canyons in America out west. And I just have to have a better look. And share with friends. Plus Utah has areas I can't climb to but with the mini 2 I can put a camera right where I want to be. And see things I'd never see.
      Keep up the good work man. We all appreciate every post you do. Peace

    I have to disagree with general rule of thumb, "higher you are safer you are", a ton of accidents happen due to high winds and Mini sailing off or dropping out of sky due to high winds. Imo staying as low possible assures your Mini returning home safely. I always gauge my surroundings same as you and I set my return to home 20ft higher than highest peak. I think (do not have your experience with other drones) that this applies solely to the Mini and other drones are much safer to fly in higher winds. Your channel rocks bro!

    what if you take off from high attitude at the edge of a hill and when you press RTH and the drone will fly back but not exact precise point of take off, say miss by 15ft, will the drone just keep dropping as there is no platform off the edge to land?

    Hi. Got a question what if your in a 120m altitude then you set your rth to 60m altitude. Then you lose signal. What will happen? Does the drrone lower first to 60m altitude then go home or it will go home directly at a 120 altitude? Thanks

  • @davidpecjak544
    @davidpecjak544 4 года назад

    If you lose signal, and the drone begins to hover for approx. 10-11 secs. BEFORE it engages the RTH feature, does that give you a few seconds to change the altitude in the "Settings" tab of your Return to Home setting? .. or is it locked at that point?

    Suppose we are away from drone or drone are at low level like 20ft in garden or under tress.sudenly we need RTH but if i had set RTH HEIGHT AT 200 feets..
    My question is that when my dji air 3 prepear him for goto 200 feets (for set RTH position but drone are at under tress so what will b happened..
    They did or not colapsed with tress..?

      Primarily because I stopped using simulations a few years ago after acquiring a lot of drones.

    If I wanted too up grade at some later point, what up grade would you recommend staying in the Dji models, keeping cost reasonable .
    I am a new pilot, novice, but later I know I will be wanting to upgrade at some point looking for a Drone with obstacle avoidience in the dji model.

    you forgot to mention - if using RTH and at elevation, the drone may not land exactly on land, as the mini does not always land within 1-2 feet of original take off point. better to fly it home manually, once it starts final descent to 'home.'

      If you were never a fan of geofencing, Then it got worse!

      However there's always no limit drones software that works very reliably and takes away all of the stress and headache that can come with restrictions on DJI drones for around $50!

    good and detailed information, I also have a video experience about the magic of RTH that finally saved my drone, I want to give you advice on what if a video is made about what mobile standard is suitable for Mavic Mini, because I am using a Samsung S6 and if I get too frequent interference from WiFi it will automatically restart and it's tense, keep up the spirit to make useful videos sir, I will definitely watch it...

    • @xavier_arthur
      @xavier_arthur  4 года назад

      Honestly it's hard to say what mobile standard is suitable for Mavic Mini, simply because Wi-Fi is very prone to interference and it would be very difficult to determine for a fact if it's the mobile or the Wi-Fi itself being affected by interference that's causing the problem and that's also causing restarts.

    I have recently purchase mavic mini a week before because i travels in the northern areas of pakistan twice a year and try to shoot better and better every time i visit there.
    This time i thought a drone will create an epic impact in my video graphy so that it could capture the beauty of nature most out of it.
    I have a question and will appreciate if you will help me to anwer the same.
    Can mavic mini fly in those remote areas of northern pakistan where i will be having NO SIM connection and NO WIFI ?
    Would i face difficulty to fly it high as much as i want there ?

    • @phantom_stream
      @phantom_stream 4 года назад +2

      Tariq Khan depending what country you’re in you might have the ce version which has weaker transmission power and uses 2.4ghz as well as 5.8ghz. Here in the US it has a stronger transmission power and only uses 5.8ghz which is less prone to interference than 2.4ghz.

      @xavier_arthur  4 года назад +1

      Hi Tariq,
      Signal strength varies by location!
      DJI Mavic mini works with Wi-Fi transmission which isn't very strong in urban areas and proned to disconnections in areas with a lot of Wi-Fi routers and a big buildings!
      If you primarily intend to fly in these type of locations, maybe look into DJI's more premium drones with Ocusync transmission that can withstand interference much better than Wi-Fi!
      I hope this helps, thanks for reaching out, Happy Flying 😎

    Good explanation but NOT completely true. U have given UR views a false sense of security. Please review DJI Mavic Mini manual I believe on page 13 for RTH function. If UR drone is not 20 meters or more from the Home Point, UR drone will land immediately and not RTH (go to RTH height and/or back to home point) if U press the RHT button on controller or screen. I have not tried this with loss of signal, only pressing RTH button. Also if the RTH height is set at 100ft for example and the drone is currently flying higher than 100 ft and the HOME POINT distance is greater than 20 meters the drone will NOT descend to the the set RTH height but go to the 0 distance point for RTH then descend to land. DJI and I had a long discussion on this subject until they sent me the manual and I tested the 20 meter limitation. Keep up the great videos as I have learned a lot from U!

    What are your thoughts on people that fly for a hobby should we continue to buy expensive drones when the FFA is probably going to put the brakes on the hobbyists, and place us in a corn field to fly in. Or maybe they'll do us like Canada and make you become a full-blown pilot and go through all of the BS that I've seen on RUclips to fly a drone there now totally not worth it

      There's no telling what the FAA will propose next, that's kind of out of our control for now, however whatever new rules coming to effect, will take years to be implemented, by which time whatever drone you by now will give you years of flying until new rules come into effect, if these new rules are worst case scenario. I anticipate and hope for a happy medium.
      Happy Flying 😃
