Motorcycling drone video: question

DJ_Fan

There are times when I want to record footage to include the beautiful landscapes with me on a motorcycle in the frame. So, the filming height will tend to be high and I will be tiny in the frame.
Often, the drone is flying forward during that footage.

Question:
What would you suggest to get the drone to land at a new location (not using RTH) after flying forward for some time and at high elevation?
Is there some kind of beacon on the controller which can be used to guide the drone to my new location?

I think it will be visibly difficult to locate the drone.

RTH will go back to the original location and that is very incovenient as I'd have to rush back to the original location with my motorcycle.

Any thoughts?

You CAN set the rth to a specific location using the map. Or rth to the controller.

I'd have to try that. Thanks, I did not even know this is available.

I'm assuming this is available in the Mavic2Pro, not just the newer models?

In the FlyApp you can set a new homepoint while in flight.
Or the actual drone position, the actual RC position or choose a new HP on the map....

cheers

i use only FlyApp drones.
Must be an option in the GoApp i think....

I have a M2P and in the GO 4 app menu you can set the rth to controller's position.
