At arround 41% battery i am 2km away and 499meter altitude, i know it is very risky but...
Anyway i lost singal at 41% and throught it should be returning to home. And after like a mins i got signal back and it was still at the same location, at this point the battery level went down to 35% so i start flying back. At 34% battery level, a tips with a green tick came up, guess what critical low battery!! Whatttttttt.....
When i know it was decending it was too late i lost signal at 444m...
Worst christmas eve ever!

I am not blaming to DJI, i love your product. I believe it might be the smart return to home causes the critial low battery. But i don't understand why it does not RTH when i lost signal at 41%.

Hopefully it does land saftey, and i can find it in the morning according to the last gps location.
By the way the whole flight recorded was 13mins from 100% to 31%, after that it is disconnected. I still can't believe the critical low battery could come up like 12mins after it flew.


Pervious Update:  p4p is recovered at exactly gps last recoreded point not even offset by a meter, i am super impress!!! It is simply amazing, however i will never flew that high again and i was using a p4 battery the crtical low power warning is the second time to pop up, last time it was quite close, it decent and i pulled it back striaght away. But this time it comes up with 34% battery left. I am thinking this is caused by smart return to home as i am so high up, the program know that it properly will not have enough power to fly back and intiated the landing mode even at 34%. It is a shame that i never have this problem with the p4. I want to confirm with a dji repensentive that if i turn the smart return to home off, will it fly until the crtical battery level set? Instead of 34%.

I have opened a new thead as it was too long.

wow whats your settings set at.  i only have a phantom 3 standard, my norm bat low is at 30% my critical is set at 15% and takes it about 15 min from full to 30%. flying around not hovor

just remember only fly bat 50% away. and thats in calm wind other wise if you have a tail wind out. and your flying into the wind back you could find it dead in the way back

Alexdroner, very sorry to hear about that, hope you can get it with the gps coordinates.
Do you still remember the settings on your APP for RTH?

Hi Natalia, I have got the drone back from 2km away (30 mins walk) and in a private park, Yeah! it does landed at the exact last gps coordinates show on ipad. It also landed safety. I am very impress. Yeah the home point was set before take off and rth altitude 100m ,remote control signal lost [return to home], smart rth to home [on], rth remote obstacle avoidance [off]

I had the same last week, I was in sport mode, battery was about 34% and critical battery showed up, it initiated to land but I was able to cancel it and slowly flew the bird back to me.

Did you use p4 battery? May be I can cancel it but it was decenting and I lost signal, I was in sport mode too.
