Are you saying that the drone was on the ground in a heavily wooded area, about 1 km from the controller, and you were able to take off again?? Based on your pics, unless the launch spot was elevated, there's no way my Avata (1) would retain connection in that environment from that distance once it dropped below the tree canopy. The 04 transmission system must be quite an improvement!
Oh, and another option to have gotten your bearings - assuming you had sufficient battery, would have been to just go straight up, looking down and rotating as you go. Even if you have to go above 120m, at some point you're going to see something that will tell you where you are - a geographic feature, a road, your car.
Yes, I'm guessing it was around 1K.
With my Avata 1, the video gets pixilated from around 2k and there are breaks in transmission, but I've flown the Avata 2 I've flown further without any transmission problems.
I tried the method you suggested, without luck. So I flew in a large circle until I could hear it, then steered to to maximize the sound |
