Thanks go out to all who have provided replies...
The parts I'm looking for will come out of a DJI Phantom junk yard (oh...where are you?) ... where it isn't so much the tiny integral parts of the 4K camera or gimbal per se, but crashed units that still have some whole working parts still intact and working, such as the camera itself, and hopefully available at not at new prices. I'm on a retiree's budget.
Yep, my bad. Never again will I deplete the batteries so much that it goes in RTH mode automatically. I was well over the 60 ft. distance of where I took off and it was set for there...(darn it).
I was pushing it trying to get a video done. I had it on the ground within 10 feet of me, but I hadn't shut it down completely because I was fumbling with the on-screen "red-x" which didn't respond right away. If it did, I was freaking out so much that I didn't see it. It's a hard lesson to learn.
I wonder if those who create the programs for the Phantoms, and other drones for that matter, can come up with something (and not knowing if it already does as I write this)... where it would be possible to simply push down the RTH button on the controller and hold it for say 2 or 3 seconds, it would cancel the RTH process, preventing the fumbling I was doing with my tablet, frantically touching the "red-x" over and over and wondering why it wasn't responding.
Don't get me wrong, I understand this was operator problems... but if something like that would have been an option and I'd have known it, how sweet it would have been.
