Hi,

It looks like the drone is not handling the RTH altitude set in DJI GO 4 (version 4.3.0)

Please upload your flight log here and post the link back here.

Also, please let us know exactly what doesn't seem to be working as expected.

What doesn't seems to be working as expected is the fact the altitude is not changing when enabling rth mode and keep the current altitude before activating the rth feature.

What altitude did you expect your drone to return at?

When RTH is initiated, your drone will ascend to the set RTH altitude if it's currently below that altitude. Your log shows your drone was flying above the set RTH altitude, so it returned home at the current altitude (as designed).

Like mrsinger said, RTH is a minimum altitude for flying back home,  if you are already above this, it will stay on the same altitude.

Hey Zeflex, no need to delete this thread.
The main thing is you landed safely in the end.
These are complex devices and fully understanding how they work is all part of the flying experience, you learned a valuable lesson that day, and sharing your experience with others will hopefully save someone else from having a bad day.
