Just to clarify. I simply want to see if there is a setting in the New Mavic 3 DJI Fly app to turn off the Smart Battery RTH. I've been flying on the open ocean all over the world. Sometimes, I travel far from the boat to capture a landscape or create a sense of the "expanse of ocean". When flying on the open ocean from a moving boat I do two things, "I turn off Smart Battery RTH and I set the drone to "hover".. I've been doing that since my 1st Phantom 4 sank in the Gulf of Mexico about 3 weeks after I got it. Its flight behavior was completely new to the Phantom 2 I flew before and I did not understand what it was doing. Now, while "cancelling RTH" is something that is easy to do in theory, sometimes your just trying to maintain your balance on a rolling boat. Sometimes your trying to fly between the sailing rigging or land in wind and surge. Its a added degree of anxiety you don't want to worry about if you can simply turn off the RTH feature on low battery. Thats all, if it doesn't exist on the New Mavic 3 flight software it should. Better yet, since the RC Pro has its own GPS radio it would be a possibility to create a "Dynamic RTH" feature which would be even better. Also, DJI should know that at least for me, and I'm sure other photographers like me, not being able to turn off "Smart Battery RTH" is a work flow issue and problem when flying from a moving vessel in the ocean. So, once again, I simply hope now to get DJI to address the software issue that is not present on DJI Fly but is on DJI Go 4 software. I'm going out on the Pacific in a couple weeks and I'd like to fly the Mavic 3 without additional anxiety. Its quite stressful enough just launching and landing on the open sea without worrying about a software notification I've got to cancel while my mind is on staying above the water. Shot with a Phantom 4 on the Andaman Sea, in the Mergui Archipelago. I'm flying at max altitude, 12,000 feet away from that sailing yacht you see navigating toward a remote, uninhabited island. That's where I'm flying from. I launched the drone somewhere far behind me. You've got to be able to turn off the Smart Battery RTH to have confidence in taking shots like these.

If you get low battery Rth you can cancel just by pressing the big X on screen. You are then free to fly to land manually , you cannot cancel critical low battery Rth so you need to be tucked up before that. But the answer to your question is yes you can but you can only cancel it when it comes on. |
