By default it returns to the home point when a connection occurs, though you can configure it to hover in place instead.

What connection did you loos? Video signal, GPS, RC???

First make sure you set the RTH to HOME POINT, at least 65m for height, UNLESS, you'r flying in the jungle under trees, or inside, than you can set it to HOVER but remember to switch it back to HOME POINT when you are done.

Second if you loose connection, video signal, you still can control the AC by remote and that is why it is highly suggested to always fly in LOS. If you loose connection to the remote then the AC will RETURN HOME.

Read the manual ,practice in the academy, then fly in BEGINNER MODE until you are ready then still always fly in LOS.

Happy flying!

i know how that feels - wish i had an answer but i do'nt.

On occasion my device has said 'aircraft disconnected' and my device screen goes blank.
It has got to happen to you to fully know how terrifying that feels.

Unfortunately i am not a praying man so i just press and hold RTH and panic till i get my drone back.

If the drone loses transmission signal above 3 seconds under RC mode or 20 seconds under WiFi mode, the drone will return to the Homepoint if you set Failsafe Feature to RTH and GPS signal is available. We had the introduction on our user manual: 御智能返航.png

Today I lost connection with my Mavic twice - both times it initiate RTH and I got a connection in several seconds seeing him fly towards me (it was really far and bad terrain) - practical lessons.
Because of this Great behavior I develop a habit to avoid putting my drone behind any obstacle like hills or mountain ranges - first not to loose connection and second in such case not to end up Mavic traveling directly toward obstacle ;)

This disconnection issue has been a big pain for me lately. I have tried using different phones (one androide the other iPhone) and get exactly the same problem. I get "disconnected" about 7-10 times per flight.

I'm seriously considering invoking my DJI refresh as I'm wondering if my Mavic was flawed from the start as it was one of the first off the production line.
