It doesn't have precision landing like the more expensive models. Really , this isn't even a big deal. It's superb in opinion. The fact it comes back to the same vicinity where you took off is awesome.
The Mini2 doesn't have precision landing sensors, so the accuracy is limited to GPS accuracy. It gets close enough that you get it back and that's really all that matters. Mine is usually 2-3 feet from take-off spot. (with 20 gps satellites).
Exactly and it has a lot to do with the wind
You are exactly right? sptrader. However it does not have anything to do with the wind, like someone commented.
Five or ten feet is no big deal. Thanks Dylan
Nothing I didn't already know but I enjoyed your style and will sub. New drone owner with a Mini 2 as my first real drone. Love it so far and return to home is awesome. Got mine way out of my sight recently and just hit the RTH and back it came. What more can you ask for. This thing amazes me
Well done Dylan! Great tutorial thanks v much.
Nice one Dylan! Really informative, and got right to the point. Thanks!
The RTH feature is not dead accurate, but its good enough not to lose my Mini 2.
Absolutely!
It's good though to get it back close enough to visually take over and land it where you want.
I love this RTH button, saved me the other day when my drone lost signal.
@@lpdantas1 If it loses signal, or the battery runs low, it automatically returns to the home point without being prompted. There are posts which demonstrate this. Hope never to have to test it out, but it's good to know!
Thanks for the vid! Really well done, appreciate the info.
Thanks for your honest Return To Home feature video👍 I just bought a DJI Mini 2 and that's helpful to know 😀
3:51 thanks for the info! Was getting a bit panicked about RTH. Well explained! Thanks! ❤
Great video.. Merry Christmas man.
Great video Dylan,Thanks.
thanks for the upload about the return to home settings, great video.
Thanks for the video. I bought a mini 2 about a week ago and tomorrow will be my first flight. If I crash and burn I'll update you guys 😉
I own a mini 2 not a big deal. I’ll get it low enough hit the pause and safely land it on my own. Totally happy with my mini 2 it’s a BEAST!
The exact video i needed to see. Thanks 👍
Ty for the post. Honestly I needed to see this.
Always good to see stuff like this. The other day I lost VLOS by flying a bit too high and too far, the RTH saved my butt and got it back home safely! Great video.
The dji fly app shows where it is on a map? And what orientation it is at? Are you flying a dji drone?
@@creedyfbaby He didn't respond (yet), but one time I flew my drone in a slew of circles practicing flying. Looking at the map showed a bunch of squiggly lines. I probably could have figured it out, but just hitting RTH sure makes things easy in such situations.
@@PhilAndersonOutside this ^^^. Using RTH is great for when you have an intermittent signal loss or when you need it to come in quickly. Sure you can use the map but RTH to me is so easy. Like Dylan says in his video, it’s a great tool to use just for filming.
@@ToddAutry RTH is so easy it becomes a crutch for a lot of people. It's an awesome safety feature but it should only be used as such in my opinion. If you want to fly a drone I think it's best to get a little better at flying instead of relying on safety measures. I think anyone who owns this drone should practice returning home by flying the drone manually all the way to the home point. If they are are disoriented they should learn to look at the map to properly align the drone to the home point. They should also learn how to fly just looking at the the map when it is pulled up full screen. Knowing how to disable RTH is also VERY important. I was flying in the woods under a dense tree canopy and my drone went into RTH due to low battery. I quickly hit the pause button which disabled it after the drone had already climbed a few feet. Had I left it in RTH it would have hit tree canopy and crashed.
@@PhilAndersonOutside RTH is an awesome feature but try not to let it become a crutch. Next time don't look at the squiggly tracks on the map. Just look at the direction the drone is facing and where the blue dot (the controller) is. Use the left stick to spin the drone until it is facing the blue dot, then fly forward, it's that simple.
Really good video!
Thanks Dylan for the informative video. Much appreciated I need to find your one for the settings and as always go Niners
I'm a fairly new Mini 2 owner, and use this RTH feature almost every flight. This is farther away than I've ever had it land on autopilot. It's usually within about a foot. A few times it's landed within inches. Curious others experiences.
Huge thanks for the video. I had never thought about using RTH as a filming tool, because you're right, it does give very precise, smooth footage. Great idea.
I'm also very new. But learning quick. I love the RTH function. However there is a downside. It has to climb to the RTH altitude you set. That eats up battery power to climb when it may not be needed. What I have learned is, use the map and turn the drone back towards you and view the trip and you can keep it as high as you need without climbing unnecessarily.
I actually do like RTH for camera purposes. You can yaw and zoom while the RTH is getting it back to you.
i just got a drone and watched your videos, very easy to watch best tutorial straight to the point
nice idea of car matt ......to take off
This is a great video and helped me with my anxiety about return to home. Thank you.
THANK YOU GREAT VIDEO AND EXPLANATION
I'm from Texas and "Yay High" is normal around here! Love your videos!
Thanks so much for your lesson I need to learn a lots from you, greeting from Texas 😊
Great tutorial Dylan
Thank you sir!
He made himself laugh by saying Yay high haha very cool video and cool guy too. Thank you
About to go out & try this feature!! Thanks!! Newbie here! 👍
That car Matt lick is really smart, thanks for that one.
great video. thanks :-)
Thanks Dylan.
Wow, this makes me wana fly further!
Thank you very much from a Cardinals fan.
The wife shopping comment hilarious! Thanks for the video and warning about water. Also I hope DJI payed you for steering people towards mavic pro based on a feature! I want one now.
very informative😀
thank you for this toturio
I’m happy it comes back! A couple of meters isn’t a bad thing unless you’re on a small boat, but then you’d still have control for minor adjustments 👍
Iv just ordered mine and this is what I want to use it for going out on my 18ft boat. Hope I get the hang of it and don't ditch it in the sea 🙈 ha
@@fromabove.3795 hey man, looking to use mine for the same thing, have you happened to use your drone yet? And if so how does it perform?
@@jamienoe7531 iv been all over the coast with it but not on the boat yet. Boat season will start later in March 👍
I am on holiday in Scotland and really using my mini 2 for the first time. filming through the mountains of Glanco I felt a little wee coming on when I lost sight of the £550 toy. it was then I thought I might need to know how to use the home button. So thanks Dylan with look I should remember your tips.
Hi, thanks a ton, got a question would you recommend using the homepoint where the controller is? Or better set it up to some point on the map. Of course if you are staying in the same takeoff location
totally awesome feature to have...have a phantom se and lost sight from a windy day...returned to home safely ....lol
Thanks advice.
Great video and even better your name spelled correctly as well.
I have dji mini 2 se, and I’m gonna say return to home is very useful.
I will only use return to home if I lost sight of it, it will also help me not to lose my drone.
I wanted to build a little platform on my back 40 to land mine with RTH. But the initial tests I ran (3 in about 20 min on the same day under the same bright, clear conditions with no wind) indicated that I was averaging about 4' (1.2m) to the west off my mark. I'll run more in-depth tests later, but testing RTH definitely convinced me that I don't wanna build a pad that big. It's still really (really really) good for getting it close enough to land the drone manually but I wouldn't wanna RTH and forget it.
Id br happy it came back 😂😂
I love this video, but my question is will the drone return to me if I move to another location from where it took off? I mean moving a good distance.
U can change your RTH location to a different spot in the area u r flying at or set to go the remote controller as RTH, just by going into your safety mode under RTH, i find that setting to the remote controller is more accurate, just remember if u set to the remote controller that the is area clear to land
Is the RTH disabled if the drone is close enough and low enough to the home-point? Was looking for the RTH but only showed land.
Hi,
I hope you are well.
I was thinking of getting the DJI mini SE does this have a return to home?
Please let me know.
Thank you.
Mr Shah.
The best thing to do is use Return to Home, and then take manual control once its in proximity of the landing zone.
I just realized, if you're flying your drone and someone stole your remote... you lose your phone and the remote.. will the drone follow the remote?
When you take off with the drone the drone sets the take off location as the home position and returns to that position when using RTH
It uses an updated gps position when you take off. I suppose in theory if the transmitter and/or phone link is lost the drone should simply return to the postion you take off from.
what if you return in Sport mode? Would it increase the speed also in the RTH function? Thanks
Good video suport from borneo
Thanks
Thanks for the video but the little Map in the corner how do you change it to satellite in miniature thanks
Thanks 🙏
If my celphon die during a fly still working the controller rth buton?
How do u get screen on the video you made to see drone. Do I connect my body cam I just order to the dron or to my WiFi on phone. Please HELP 🙏🤜🤜
car matt exactly what I use cool beans.
if you lose connection to the drove, like if you are out far will it still work?
I have 2 questions. 1. Does the Home get set when you turn the drone on? If not when and where does it get set. 2. How do you reset the home location to be a new place? For instance, if I turn the Mini2 on inside my house, and then go outside to fly. I don't want the drone to try and land on top of my house thinking home is where I turned it on. Likewise, I like to make sure everything is working while I'm inside and warm. I live in a winter climate and like to fly from the comfort of my home or car.
How do you get that smooth footage? This is what happened to me with my Mavic 2 Pro.
I did a couple of RTH tests and the drone always landed where I was actually standing when I set the home point. So I did some home point setting when holding the controller over the actual landing pad where the drone was sitting. Bingo! Each time the drone landed within a couple of inches of where it took off from. So is the home point registering in the aircraft or the controller? It appears to be in the controller, because every test I have done results in the aircraft RTH at the spot where the controller is when the home point is set.
Return to home always stores the aircrafts location, not the controller when the aircraft takes off. Now if you pull up the return to home settings in the menu you can choose between the controller, where the drone is, or you can manually choose where to land on the map. Since you said "When I set the home point" I assume you are setting it where the controller is.
Hi,
What happens if your flying let's say 100 meters up but your " Return to home " is set to 50 meters, and your remote DIES out without batteries.
Will the Drone descend ? as when you try to RTH it says " Altitude too high " ?
I just wrecked mine because the return to home was auto activated when battery was almost dead and I was under the tree canopy and I didn't override it in time an it went straight up into the trees then crash to the ground broke the gimbal and crack the drones top cover where the light is ...return to home is a blessing an a curse
Also you can always cancel RTH when you get it back close to home. And land it manually. RTH makes DJI worth it in my opinion. Even if it isn’t perfect.
💯
I'm confused. Do you have to set the "home point" before you fly it? Or does the drone automatically know where home is? This video starts by stating that there is an "H" on the screen for Home point, but when I turn on my DJI app and my drone, I don't see any "H" appear on the screen. Which makes me wonder if you have to set it.
Uppon take off you have to hover for a few seconds for the sensors to record shade preferably different colors will help....bigger contrast
Im guessing no way to change it to be more accurate? I freaked out today when I lost mine in the sun. I never used the RTH feature, thanks for the help pal.
Good video! Can't you stop the return to home function once you see the drone is somewhere nearby?;
Can you use the yaw feature when returning home the djia mini 2 ????help
thanks .
Why does the gimbal auto rotates down (at 3:57) when in RTH? mine does the same lol
D, do you think that taking off and hovering a few mins might improve the landing accuracy? Maybe even taking a photo of your take off mat? 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I don't believe it would make a difference being that the DJI Mini 2 does not have the precision landing technology like the Mavic 2 series drones do. The Mavic 2 series drones have precision landing and take a photo of the landing area, etc. to improve the landing.
When it knows if it runs out of batteries, does it automatically return home?
Yay high!!!
Ahahaaaaa 😂👏
Hi. Off topic but maybe you can assist. Can I take pix while recording video on my mini 2? Thanks
no
Can you fly this drone without the internet? Thanks, Kim
Is there a return to remote? If ur walking around?
Does it land close to the remote? I did see it closer to the RC
Maybe the black pavement and black mat has something to do with it not doing precise landing ?
I thought in rth you can use the sticks to push the quad closer to the mat still in rth mode.
Absolutely could have. However I wanted to see how close it got on its own for demonstration purposes. The Mini 2 doesn’t have precision landing technology like the M2P and M2Z does or it would have landed ON the car mat.
We're you doing a screen record on your phone?
How do you set the return to home? Wish you explained
Can you get it to fly sideways on the way back?
Is it possible to record video while returning to home?
Hi, can the DGI mini 2 return home to the controller?
The car mat is blended with the surface colour the sensors don't react well with block that's the reason to use a landing pad, but other than that great tuition
Be interesting to see what distance the app thinks you are from home point just as its a few feet off the ground.
Liked the video but how did you get the home point stored at the start of the video?
Have the same problem how do I get the home point up ?
Once it connects to the satellites (obtains GPS) it stores it. However you can click the 3 white dots in the upper right hand corner of the DJI Fly app and find the home point settings to store in the menu.
All the tests on the tube are the same. My Pro is spot on every time. Maybe as you say a firmware update will be forthcoming.
My return to home seems set to wherever I was when I turned on my drone. Is that normal?
I'm really upset about changing the settings on the Mini 2. I went ahead and changed the settings to slow the drone down and slow the gimbal also. Unfortunately, after the setting changes I changed the battery for a charged battery and found out that revised settings were lost and the settings went back to the original settings. Has anyone else discovered this problem? Are there any ways to save the changes?
Mine lands far closer than that ,I only bought mine 4 weeks ago and run the updates on day 1 and it didn’t land exactly on the mat,,around 2 feet away..the latest update around a week ago was installed and it seems to be getting far closer but not central on the circular landing matt,,just off the outer edge..I don’t think it will ever be as accurate as the mavic 2 or 3
Can the RTH feature be disabled on the Mini 2?
What does it mater that it’s landing 2 meters away. It’s just for getting to your location and get your drone home if your are lost or something. If you are standing on a dock you can manual fly your drone when the drone is near you
Those 2 meters (6.4 feet) can be a big deal if you are taking off from a dock on water or tight spot... You are right the main purpose is to just get it back and it's not a huge deal but that's an example of why it would mater, to answer your question.
Olá o botão RTH é só uma vês que se carrega até aparecer a mensagem no ecrã
1:47 happened to me too yesterday, any reason why?
