When you are being cinematic, but then your low battery notice flashes on screen and you are 250 feet high and over 600 feet out... You find your return bearings real quick.

YOU CAN PINPOINT THE SECOND THE LOW BATTERY NOTICE FLASHES HAH!

Captured from 256 ft high and about 700 ft out in the river with DJI spark using DJI GO4 ap ver 4.1.15, spark remote controller with samsung galaxy S5 via OTG cable, and a ND4 lens filter.

That was great I am laughing. I would have loved to hear what you were saying when that happened.

I actually liked seeing that. From the beginning shots the viewer has no idea how far out the aircraft it. It looks like you are way out over the water. But then the RTH function and you can see you are pretty close to shore. Great job.

It looks more like you were in controle right?
Or was it RTH?

In control all the way, but i have my low battery set at 20% so when the notice went off, i was making 100% sure i could see myself to come back >

I know it happens to the best of us, we aren't looking at the battery % but trying to get a good shot >

I liked the barge going up the icy river. Good job on that.

Thanks again, you saw the first part of that flight when i posted it previously.

Good footage in the video. Also, I'd set low batt warning to 30% in the Spark given the overall flight time. 20% will give you a small window to get back quick enough every time, especially if the wind picks up during the flight or changes direction.

Just how I do it.
I even set it to 25%
Just to be on the safe side.
So no RTH that kicked in.

I think you got more than just a good shot. It as very well done, RTH or not.

Sidd

Nicely done.
