    Excellent video and great tips. I'll use this when setting up my soon to arrive Mavic Pro, in March. Absolutely beautiful scenery.
    Thanks and Cheers!

    Beautiful flight. I've had a couple of WEAK TRANSMISIION SIGNAL errors and AIRCRAFT DISCONNECTED. I'm not sure what to do in that situation. Do you turn off the DJI GO 4 app and then turn it back on?

  • @flyingphotography5770
    @flyingphotography5770 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very good advice ... a pre-flight checklist is so important. And it must be followed each time.
    If I might add, I turn off every app on iPhone, shutdown/restart, (to flush memory and CPU) and max volume so I’m sure to hear “home point has been recorded”. And, I do look at the home-point map each flight.
    Very beautiful filming, and smooth control.

    Really nice flight and the video with music was nicely done. Kind of like the music a lot and keep on playing for more than 10 times. Try searching this track but the nearer track match was Sun Soft from Sibracco. Can you tell me the sound track originally from?

    Exact same thing happened with my Phantom 3 Pro at 4000+ ft.....except the controller also disconnected as well as the app-crash. I never recovered the connection until 4 minutes later when it began it's decent above me. I agree with you 100%....... DJI has beautiful software in this respect ! Very nice video here btw ! Fly safe, Friend !

  • @jawsyap
    @jawsyap 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can someone explain why the lost of signal causes the transmitter to black out? Since there's still battery life, can't DJI improve on the firmware E.g showing some instructions on the monitor on what to execute from there on. The apps. should not crash or need to be rebooted if the firmware is advance enough. I hope DJI can look into this and make improvements on these areas. By the way, I love your video shot with the beautiful landscape of mother nature. Cheers

    Hi Nu Vu, thanks for sharing this video. I am about to purchase a Mavic Pro and watching this video makes me nervous as I don't have an y flying experience (a newbie). The drone supposed to have a 7Km range and at 1350m this happened? Have you ever worked out why it happened?
    Also, a question, if you recorded your Home position and your drone lost connection, does that mean the drone will get to the height you have set it (in this case 60m) and try to return to the recorded Home position by itself? Thanks.

  • @soshempfactor3418

    I lost connection on my new Mavic the other day. It was within los. About 2-300 meters away and about 90 meters high. It happened on my very first flight and on the second battery. The relief was huge when it returned to home point after about 5 nervous minutes!

    • @alanalan1232

    • @alanalan1232
      @alanalan1232 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Mike Santis I mean ehhh , when I first started flying I put it on beginner mode so I could only fly within a radius of 75 meters hahah but I eventually worked my way up there as I did not want to get too cocky over flying it far

  • @togugram
    @togugram 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It happens to me in August 2018, when I travelled to Turda, Romania. In my case, when my Mavic Pro returns, it travelled in a straight line towards the home-point, but the landscape along the path are peaks and cliffs higher than the set altitude in the drone. I watched with despair as it slowly going to hit the wall of the cliff, but luckily the obstacle avoidance suddenly kicks-in! It just keeps hovering in front of the cliff, trying to get through the straight line. The signal was still too weak because I was behind the huge cliff, then the remote control becomes too noisy because both batteries of remote and drone are running low! I suddenly lose hope of recovering it, but I don't know what happens, I notice the drone suddenly hover to its side and avoid the cliff then continue to follow the home point. So now, I still have it and ready for the next adventure! :)

  • @zoolkhan
    @zoolkhan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    should that thing come home anyways as it ses obstacles an can navigate around or above it also in RTH mode with too low set altitude defaults?

    • @nuvu3927
      @nuvu3927  7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      zoolkhan SHOULD - but narrow tree branches/twigs aren't always seen by the sensors. This can tangle up the props. More room is always safer

  • @Martins2012
    @Martins2012 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I always set my loss of signal command to "Hoover" because I thought once it loses signals, 1 or 2 steps forward would be enough to gain connection again. I guess it's a little more complicated then that. Anyway, where are the kangaroos?

    • @nuvu3927
      @nuvu3927  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Leandro Martins thanks for watching :) still looking for the kangaroos, I am sure I'll find some hopping around and chase them in a future video.
      I check my surroundings- hover is a great option in open space, over dry land etc - I wouldn't want a hover to happen over water or at a great distance, this could be hard to recover from.

    • @TheCamaro5
      @TheCamaro5 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes line of sight is important. Its not about getting closer its about getting higher. I keep in mind the further away I fly the higher I get is my rule of thumb so to speak.

  • @Bigfish92084
    @Bigfish92084 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    well done. Thanks! I get my Mavic delivered tomorrow. Been watching you tubers for months and many experienced guys have crashed. Flying over water is soon risky. Hope I've learned from others mistakes. I will heed your commentary.

    • @Mikedigital32
      @Mikedigital32 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Bigfish92084 you'll fly over water and you'll like it!

    • @nuvu3927
      @nuvu3927  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bigfish92084 Bigfish - appropriate name for droning over water :) you can get a good eye on fishing spots and see the buggers swimming around. Even some vids of tuna fishing via drone :)
      Start somewhere shallow, calm, a pond (so you can swim if need to to recover) start at a height and once the nerves settle take it a little lower if needed. Be very ready to FLY as the sensors can cause drift when low over water- you can turn theses off, but the drone will drift a lot more.
      Water is great!

  • @fingimygig
    @fingimygig ปีที่แล้ว

    The second I saw your route and when you dropped down I knew what was coming. A landmass and bunch of trees between you and your expensive drone. Many a drone has crashed this way, especially without enough RTH altitude. . It is good you share this. It is important to keep radio line of sight with your drone. If you had increased your altitude you may have kept connection. Recently I have been flying in mountains and am very aware of this phenomenon. The mountains are 10, 000 feet high so no RTH Altitude setting will help. The safest place to fly is from the top of the mountain.

  • @marctrainor5595
    @marctrainor5595 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you lost control, did you try hitting the pause button or the accend stick? Not sure if that would have worked or not, but I just flew my Mavic Pro Zoom and had the RTH set to hover. Then I shut off the controller so it would lose signal. It just stopped where it was and hovered. I then turned the RC on again and was able to gain control and fly it back. When you lost signal and rebooted, I guess you had no control of anything. OK. I just realized what your talking about here. If you'd have set the RTH altitude higher, you wouldn't have been so close to the trees, especially since you were out of control completely. Good thing it all turned out well. By the way, that was some beautiful footage of a beautiful place. Marc T.

  • @RCPerfectionist
    @RCPerfectionist 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for information. The test I want to do is with return home on I want to be able to land far away and lose radio contact but it not try and return home. Hopefully if you use the app to land it will not try and return home with a low battery and crash like many videos show. There should be a way to land it without it trying to return home. I want return home on for other reasons but in case of low battery and high winds I may need to land far away.

  • @MattJacques
    @MattJacques 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If your RTH height was just 30m, but you had obstacle avoidance enabled, it would navigate around any trees in the way, wouldn't it?

    • @nuvu3927
      @nuvu3927  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Matt Jacques - Hi Matt, yes.. I would believe/hope this would happen. The worry would be smaller branches of the trees. The sensors do not always see these smaller objects and can get tangled. Much safer to set a greater height.

    • @MattJacques
      @MattJacques 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aha - good point! Definitely better safe than sorry...

    • @jeebs9
      @jeebs9 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I was about to ask the same question!... There is another video of a guy losing his over a bridge. It went into return home mode and almost ran into the bridge. It went higher and fly over the bridge.

    • @tamasvarga67
      @tamasvarga67 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Obstacle avoidance is optical and one set of broken props (luckily that's all) are the proof it cannot see the small branches especially in bakclit situation. You always need to take your time check the area and adjust the RTH settings accordingly before flying.

    • @DavidDiepAU
      @DavidDiepAU 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just thinking .... if that's the case.. is there any reason why we should not set RTH height to higher than the default value (30m) ?

  • @CDigata
    @CDigata 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice flight but also remember there is a new setting on the mavic 2.. it always defaults to the setting that says " RTH at height it is at when signal is lost" make sure that is off also as it will not use the rth height you have set

    • @nuvu3927

      styles2000bc you can capture still from video - I haven't done this yet. The quality would not be great. You would be better off to take a few dedicated photos while up there. The remote has two easy buttons - 1 for photo - 1 for video - you just need to quickly stop recording vid to take the photo.

      DAXimusTT hi DAX, thanks mate for taking the time to watch. The settings for this were (2.7k - 30fps - cloudy white balance - cinelog colour profile) - polar pro series filters make a good difference to footage captured I think.

    I had a complete loss of signal/control/vision of my Mavic Zoom today. I was only 2300 feet away and 114 altitude over a pretty densely populated area. I immediately smashed RTH and....nothing. I got in my car and drove towards it and it regained connection and initiated RTH. I pulled in the driveway as it was landing in the back yard. What a relief. I was freaked out as it was disconnected and hovering for 7 minutes over a train track. I learned the hard way to set my loss of signal from hover to RTH. Hopefully it wont happen again , but if it does I hope it will RTH as advertised.

    I have the same happen, Too far, signal lost, usually when it in the range i got it control back but this time my controller is red light, i believe i have lost my mavic air and give up hope, but after 3 minutes it come back, i hear the sound in the sky, it automatically land even my controller is hang or jammed. i got to restart my Mavic Air to get it reconnected again, Thanks God

    It seemed to be problematic when it had bad signal but then returned to home when it lost signal. Maybe if it's flying odd with weak signal it's just better to turn the controller off and hope for the return to home to kick in straight away.

  • @Phils_Photos
    @Phils_Photos 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    if that happens ever again you can just hit the pause button at any stage on the RTH trip and the Mavic will just stop and let you make changes to the RTH height. I know because it also happen to me and that is what I did.

    Well from what I saw in the very beginning, and this is a common happening and the reason for it. You did not let the copter sit and hoover for anytime upon takeoff. To gain a proper GPS/signal lock to get its bearings of where it is in the world locked in before flying off.

  • @GunPilot
    @GunPilot 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Well put together video and good to see you made it back - always a heart starter. The problem you have with this video is that it is infringing CASA Regs and if you had not done so then you would not have had this scare, Maybe a lesson here for you and others..................

    • @nuvu3927
      @nuvu3927  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gun Pilot great advice, thanks. Well aware of local regulations and always fly within the laws.
      I could maintain vision this whole flight, it dipped behind a hill a little I guess, so I quickly brought it back. No crazy 😜 flying here.
      Thanks for watching

    • @rockmoc

      I have only had my Mavic a week and flew it for the first time yesterday. could you please expand on the CASA regulation part? I am in the UK and not sure whether we have CASA here? if there is something that will help me i am all ears.

    • @MattJacques
      @MattJacques 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Carl - Looks like CASA is Australia's aviation authority... every country has their own different regulations. Looks like this applies to you in the UK: www.caa.co.uk/Consumers/Model-aircraft-and-drones/Flying-drones/

    • @GunPilot
      @GunPilot 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You have breached the VLOS regulation
      101.073 Operation must generally be within visual line of sight
      Unmanned aircraft must be operated within visual line of sight
      (1) A person commits an offence of strict liability if:
      (a) the person operates an unmanned aircraft; and
      (b) the aircraft is not operated within the person’s visual line of sight.
      Penalty: 50 penalty units.
      Exception-CASA approval
      (2) Subregulation (1) does not apply if:
      (a) the person holds an approval under regulation 101.029 to operate the unmanned aircraft beyond the person’s visual line of sight; and
      (b) the conditions (if any) imposed on the approval are complied with.
      Note: A defendant bears an evidential burden in relation to the matter in subregulation (2): see subsection 13.3(3) of the Criminal Code.
      Meaning of operated within visual line of sight
      (3) An unmanned aircraft is being operated within the visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft if the person can continually see, orient and navigate the aircraft to meet the person’s separation and collision avoidance responsibilities, with or without corrective lenses, but without the use of binoculars, a telescope or other similar device.
      The main point in this reg is that :
      you have to prove to CASA in court ("A defendant bears an evidential burden") that you could fully understand the ORIENTATION of the RPA at that distance (and its not possible - I fly RPAs, including a Mavic for business purposes and very familiar with what you could/could not see at that distance).
      (Remember each single penalty point is equal to $155,60c so this flight could well cost you $7,780).
      Now maybe you will realise just how serious an offence CASA sees this. There is no way after 500 metres that you can determine the "ORIENTATION" of the RPA without the use of the RC video screen. You flew out more than 1km and your telemetry on the video clearly shows this.
      This video supplies CASA all the evidence they need to take you to court and successfully prosecute you. And remember, at ay time someone could just use this CASA provided link to inform them of this dangerous and illegal use of an RPA www.casa.gov.au/webform/unsafe-drone-operations-complaint-form
      Ignore if you will, others won't...................................

    By the way, you can still see what's going on with the drone from the LCD screen on the controller. I once lost signal at a 3 kilometer distance and I knew it was coming home by looking at the LCD screen.

    Yo Mate that was a nail biter. I had to take a nitro pill because I was going into ventricular fibrillation. I was on the edge of my seat. Really scary. I was praying for a safe landing. That was exciting.
    OK the scenery was way cool. The colors great. I think this convinced me to get a Polarizing Filter set. Good cinema.
    After that am ready to go get a big bowl of kinkajou stew, it made me hungry.

  • @altecodrone9211
    @altecodrone9211 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video and good story with a happy ending. But what happens when your drone CAN'T Return To Home? This is what happened to me yesterday. There was a little wind at ground level but nothing the Mavic couldn't handle. Took it up to 160m and wham - without me realising it until 2 or 3 minutes later it hit a 10-15km/h wind which gusted up to 19km/h at times. Forward throttle just slowed it down. Stupidly hitting RTH it announced it couldn't and said "Landing" - right over a very busy highway! Cancelled that quickly, but still could not gain forward control. Too dangerous to bring down. In the end I had to find a landing spot 1km away and after a long 10 minute drive (highway in the way) and 15 minute search I finally had it in my hands again... Phew!

    RTH obstacle avoidance would actually have made the mavic climb above any trees in the way. Also, if you've got smart RTH set, even if you've set it to hover on signal loss, it will automatically return when the battery gets low enough.
