Sean is correct in his explanation of current RTH behavior. It used to be when RTH was engaged, during the ascent to RTH altitude, you could momentarily bump the throttle down to abort continued ascent. At this point the bird would continue RTH at its current altitude. For some inexplicable reason, DJI decided to alter the RTH behavior, so that now bumping the throttle aborts the RTH completely.
I do not like this change as it makes no sense to me. There are already two methods to abort RTH should one so desire. You can simply short press the RTH button on the controller, or press the soft on-screen abort button. The old method is preferable in situations like flying near tall buildings where a high RTH altitude setting is necessary to prevent a potential building collision, but the RTH ascent can be easily aborted when desired by simply bumping the throttle. Older birds still function this way, which makes things confusing for those of us who fly a variety of birds.
Agreed DB. As Sean and I discussed, the manual could stand some editing given the various iterations of firmware. At the very least, a more readable/understandable thing to do in that section, is to speak to the latest firmware or that which is now that the earlier functions are superseded. Then, with just an asterix, a footnote could be placed to make the explanation of the latest functions not applying to earlier versions. Hopefully, this kind of feedback will be read by the DJI Moderator(s). |
