I took the Phantom 4 out to Glenariff Forest Park in Ireland and Made my way to a Mountain top. I flew approx. 300 feet above the valley below, done a 360 rotation and then then switched to Home lock in the intelligent menu then throttled back towards me. All of a sudden “signal lost” and off I watch my little Phantom 4 head to the next Mountain until I could see it no more. I waited 10 minutes on the Return to Home failsafe to kick in but it was clear it was not going to happen. Then the fun part I climbed down the valley found a way across the river and proceeded up the next mountain following a straight line as shown on the DJI GO app. I kept going in a straight line beyond the last point marked on the map only to find my phantom 4 about 0.5 Kilometres past that location last shown in a bush. Thankfully no visible damage to the unit. 1st question is what went wrong? When there was no signal why did the drone not return to home as set in the DJI GO App? How do I know if I have a defective product and this will not reoccur? My worry is if it happens again it could sustain damage or I may never see it again. I have lost my confidence in flying the Phantom 4 at this time. Kind regards, Oliver McDaniel |
