You can't disable RTH, but you can set it to hover on low battery.  Personally I don't recommend this for new pilots.  You should heed the advice of the drone until you are thoroughly familiar with your drone.  You can always abort the RTH with the press of a button.

Unfortunately, we don't have the option to disable the RTH feature as this is one of the main safety features. However,  RTH can be canceled using the controller. If RTH is canceled following a low battery warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft being crashed or lost. Have a nice day.

What will happen if I force the drone to stay in the air even when battery is low?

Hello there. Canceling RTH after a low battery warning may cause the aircraft to crash or get lost due to insufficient power for safe landing.

This information is available in the user manual. You can check it using this link: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/ ... _Manual_v1.0_en.pdf. Have a great day ahead.

But what DJI can do is give a warning before the drone stops mid flight and immediately starts to rise.  Change that to a warning without interrupting the current flight giving the user a chance to make a decision on their next action.  Continue or RTh.  The way it is now is not helpful but disruptive and dangerous.  While flying indoors like many others, mine gave 1 beep, stopped and immediately started to raise up nearly causing a crash.  As a new user of the Avata 2 with goggles on, I was fortunate to have reacted properly.

Hi, Fyrcog. Sorry about the experience and we appreciate your suggestion.  We will submit this to the relevant team to provide them with feedback and evaluate it. Any news or updates will be announced on the DJI official website or in the DJI Forum. Thank you for your patience.

There should be a 10 second countdown during which you can press lock button on RCM3 or pause button on FPVRC3 once to cancel RTH from being initiated.

Low battery will always RTH (in N/S mode, in M you're responsible for returning home yourself). The option to RTH/hover/land is only available for failsafe (when signal is lost).

I almost crash my drone today because of the start the auto RTH after reaching 20% of battery.

I was flying in a visual mode INDOOR, without the googles and I didn't even heard the sound.

Happily today I watch videos so learn how to land on hand turning the drone... and I was too close the drone (less than 1 meters)  being able to get it without injury and crash.

I was flying indoor (no gps), then I went to backyard (updated Home point), and I flew inside home again...  so I was really close the RTH, so there weren't any reason to start it automatically.

Of course, there are room for improvements. Like:

Show alerts with 25%, make sounds in the google or control when it starts.

Do not update RTH when turning on with NO GPS (means that I’m flying indoor).

Or It should have the option to define indoor or outdoor flight, and based on this define the RTH settings, like for indoor just hover, do nothing...

It should give a warning then give you 15 seconds to move to a safe opening so it can raise to Max altitude and if you haven't maneuvered out of it within 15 seconds you should be able to hit the break and get another 15 seconds

Hi there,
thank you for reaching out.

May we confirm if you are using the motion controller? If so, when the drone is performing RTH, press the lock button once to cancel RTH. After exiting RTH, you will regain control of the aircraft.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
