If you go into DJI Go 4 the 'low battery' function can be switched off. Remember there is a ten second window where you can cancel it manually if it initiates.
You'll find it in the 'Aircraft Battery' menu, it is shown as 'smart return to home', this name is a bit misleading as that is what DJI refer to in their manual as initiating an RTH using the button on remote or RTH on screen.
Test this for yourself in a field, go out a bit and just let aircraft hover and see what happens with this on, and then another battery with it switched off.
For some flying from a boat this can be worthwhile disabling, where the boat is moving and the home point is getting further away all the time, yes you can manually update home point (or in Mavic Pro it will auto update if in active track mode, and 'Dynamic Home Point' activated) . But if you forget, or lose track as some have done. Then aircraft ends up heading in opposite direction thinking it needs to fly a mile to home point before battery runs out. In reality you will likely have it in sight close by.
But if the aircraft is genuinely a long way away then it's good to keep it enabled. |
