If I'm not mistaken, you lost signal right overhead. I doubt it would cause the problem when you were only a few dozen feet above you, but did you re-orient the antennas when you were overhead? I'm assuming that's you with the controller at the middle of the path opening. The overall behavior doesn't look like loss of signal. RTH would have landed it right where it was, since you were so close to HOME, assuming you took off near where you were standing. You obviously didn't lose signal, because you turned it 90 degrees (toward the trees) before landing. With RTH activated, it would turn toward home, climb to RTH set height, move to overhead home, and drop down for landing slowly. Something just doesn't add up.
By the way, LOS to many of us raised with NASA lingo, interpret LOS as loss of signal. AOS is acquisition of signal. Pretty natural confusion on today's world.
I took off from right about where I was standing and where it landed. The entire flight was about 2 minutes. I took it out over the river and had control until you see movement stall at about 7 seconds on the video. Then at 18 seconds (after loss for ~10 seconds) you see it automatically ascend as it is RTH. At that point in time, I waited until about 30-33 seconds and shutdown my controller. Then turned it back on.
I hit the pause button on the controller at 48 seconds when I reestablished connection. I then manually guided it down for landing.
I didn't look at the controller at the time to see what the signal/gps connection were like. I do know that I also was not able to have streaming video on my phone (samsung Note 7, less than a year old) for 90% of that flight. Basically about the same time I lost connection originally.
I hope this clears up any confusion
