This question concerning home lock on Mavic Pilots forum:-
I would love to Home Lock added to DJI Go for the M2P. However, could you give us a scenario where it would be "be more reliable than RTH"? I'm having a hard time thinking of one.
Answer :-
Home Lock is very useful if you get yourself mixed up with what way your Drone is pointed when it's at the limit of your VLOS. With 'Home Lock' engaged (on my Mavic Pro Platinum), it means that no matter what way the drone is pointing, when I pull back on the controller's right-stick, it will fly straight back to me (in whatever yaw direction its currently pointed) and end up directly overhead. I believe some other drone manufacturers call this feature - 'headless mode'. This could be more reliable than RTH in some circumstances, because it allows you to alter the height of the drone and get it down lower in those cases where you end up down-wind, and the winds are fast up high!
