Welcome to our quick guide on DJI’s three essential Return to Home, or RTH, modes. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned drone pilot, understanding these modes can make all the difference in your flight safety.
Let’s break them down:
First, we have Smart RTH. This mode is manually activated by pressing the RTH button on your controller. Your drone will use GPS to calculate the safest and most efficient route back to its home point, which you set before takeoff. It’s perfect for when you want to bring your drone back with a single touch.
Next is Low Battery RTH. When your drone detects that its battery is running low, it will automatically trigger RTH. DJI drones are smart enough to calculate how much power is needed to return safely, ensuring you don’t lose your drone due to an empty battery.
Finally, there’s Failsafe RTH. If your drone loses signal from the remote controller—due to interference or flying out of range—it will automatically engage RTH. The drone will ascend to a pre-set altitude and return to the home point, helping prevent accidental loss.
Understanding these RTH modes ensures that your drone always has a safe journey home, no matter the situation. Be sure to set your home point, keep an eye on battery levels, and fly within range to make the most of these features.
