Drones have become more advanced than ever. These machines almost work as they have their own brain. This is because of their many advanced features. Every good drone is equipped with intelligent, useful options, and the RTH function is one of them. Today we are going to give you some important notes on the return to home function.



What is the RTH function?



RTH function means a return to home. When you enable that, your drone will go back safely to the home point alone. Most of the drones have intelligent obstacle avoidance systems, which means that they can safely go back to the landing location even in bad situation such as low battery, or no signal.

The RTH function is one of the most important options that you should look for while buying a drone. Why? Because you can not always see your drone, your battery may go low, or bad weather conditions may appear. It is always a good idea to have a drone that knows its way back home.

How does the RTH function work?

When the drone receives 4, or more GPS signals, it will point its takeoff location as a Home Point. The machine will be analyzing the real-time GPS coordinates all the time, so it can use its GPS to assist its return back home. 

The RTH function can be affected by tall buildings, magnetic fields, and metal structures. That’s why it is always better to fly your drone in an open, clear area, even though drones nowadays are equipped with innovative technology.

A piece of advice that we will give you- always set a higher altitude to your drone, because when it enters RTH mode you can not control it. This means that it will be easier for the drone to avoid obstacles while flying at a higher altitude.



RTH Modes

There are 3 main return-to-home modes you can use while operating with the RTH function. 

Smart RTH- the first mode will allow the pilot to command the machine to go to the home point by choosing the RTH button.  Easy and fast way to get your drone back to you. If the landing area is not safe enough, your drone will hover in place until you give it a command.

Low battery RTH- the low battery mode will appear when the battery level is specifically low. The drone will calculate the fastest and safest way to go back to its home location.

Failsafe RTH- the failsafe mode will bring your machine back to the chosen Home Point if your drone loses connection. The drone will restore the signal on its own when there is a chance to do it.

The RTH function can be really useful in many situations because it can ensure that your drone will go back home safely. We wish you great drone adventures and good luck!

DJI Mini 2 Errors: What They Mean (And How to Fix Them) | Droneblog

Image
Nothing brings a drone operator down quicker (pun intended) than bad weather and drone error codes.  We wait until it gets better with the weather, eventually, although our highly anticipated day of flying is ruined.  However, drone error codes can be more than simply waiting out the issue or hoping it resolves itself. Error codes and the inability to fly the DJI Mini 2 because of these errors can be a nuisance, but, when those codes are decoded, explained, and suggestions on how to fix the issue come to the fore, things get easier. We’ll be looking at a laundry list of DJI Mini 2 error codes, what they mean, and the steps to fix them.  The codes will be listed numerically to locate specific codes easier within the article. These codes are: Code 10001Code 10016Code 10022Code 10023Code 30007Code 30008Code 30047Code 30049Code 30050Code 30055Code 30060Code 30064 Code 30085Code 30105Code 30168Code 30210Code 30224Code 30226Code 40002Code 40011Code 40012Code 40021Code 180016Code 180030Code 1...

DJI Transmission System (Everything You Need to Know)

Image
An essential feature behind a DJI drone that is often overlooked is the drone transmission system. I have personally flown multiple DJI drones from different generations, and I can say – good heavens, what a difference! DJI drones usually have the OcuSync transmission system, which is unique and proprietary to DJI. The transmission module is installed on all DJI drones and cannot be upgraded or changed, but it comes in different versions. And the flight range, penetration, controller compatibility, and a few more factors depend on it. Here, I’ll share with you everything you need to know about the DJI transmission system, why it matters, the difference between them, and how we can identify one. Behind DJI OcuSync: Factors & Analysis A transmission system in a drone is one of the most critical parts without which a drone cannot fly at all. It simply cannot make a connection between a drone remote controller and the drone itself. In consumer DJI drones, we have the OcuSy...

Autel EVO 2 Pro: 3 Most-Common Problems (With Solutions) | Droneblog

Image
The Autel EVO 2 Pro drone is a very powerful drone with many features, but it does have a few drawbacks that I have found while using it. Despite the issues I have experienced, the Autel EVO 2 Pro is still a great drone that I would recommend to anyone looking for a foldable drone with a 20MP camera. While the Autel EVO 2 Pro is a strong drone model overall, there are a few areas of weakness. The controller, lack of accessories, and flight characteristics could use some work on Autel’s end to get this drone to the top of its class. Even with the problems I have experienced, there are still many ways to fly the EVO 2 Pro issue-free. Let’s take a closer look at some of the issues you might experience and ways to work around them to get the footage you’re looking for. 1. Autel EVO 2 controller issues As a professional drone operator, I have used a few different drone controllers and think the controller that comes with the EVO 2 Pro is just too small and not balanced properly. Let’s discu...
