The RTH is to be used if you have an issue, like losing orientation or something like that.
The beeping is the warning that the flight controller has taken over and guiding the aircraft back to you because you were unable to fly it home manually. That's how I see the RTH button, something that should be used if there's a problem. If not then fly it home manually.
If you don't want to hear the beeping then you will need to manually fly the aircraft home and also don't be flying around on a low battery.
I just read this reply.
Guys, come on, be at least a LITTLE BIT honest with your customers.
If you ADVERTISE the 'easy flying' of your drone because as one of the major features, you can so easily let it come back, if you put a big BUTTON on your RC to push for RTH, if you put an other BUTTON with the same goal on the screen of your Go-app....
If you do ALL that and make Phantom 3's, Phantom 4's, Phantom 4 Pro's( the latter AFTER the release of the Mavic) with an audible but tolerable beep...
AND THEN all of a sudden you start telling us: "Well, Ok, yes, RTH exists but it is really not meant to be used except in emergencies and then with a loud sound etc..."
You know what I think ?
Either:
1) R&D made a mistake that they can not correct without recalling all Mavic Rc's and you guys don't want to do that.
OR
2) Somewhere somehow in the EU or elsewhere negotiations are going on about drone-reglementation and a loud beep on RTH is one of the requirements. (But why isn't there a loud beep on the Phantom 4 Pro then, released months after the Mavic ?)
So please stop telling us exactly the opposite of what you were telling us months ago and of what is still in all your advertising: that the RTH is a FEATURE, full stop, while now suddenly you tell us it is something we really should not use etc..
Just tell us the truth or tell us you are not allowed to tell us the truth. |
