Finally got a break in the weather and managed to get out to test the new dynamic RTH feature.

Works really well, but - interestingly - if you initiate a RTH and then move location, it returns to the last known location. So for example, if you were on a boat or in a moving car and lost control signal or your battery got low, it will go home to where the last known location was. And that might not be where you are!

And the new tilt wheel on the new remote is absolutely bloody reckon' fantastic!

You're confusing the "Home Point" and Return to Home. They are related, but not the same thing. There is no dynamic RTH. As Geert said, once the RTH is initiated, the Home Point is fixed.
 
So who can make an App for that ?
Dynamic RTH with a loiter function at a variable distance :)
 
If youre on a boat moving, try to regain control and flick to ioc to home lock and pull the direction stick back. This will dynamically follow you. Just remember that when its wiithin 10m radius, it will switch to ioc course lock.
 
If you move after the fact, why couldn't you take control of the flight, and then re-make a new RTH selection?

If you are on an object (lets a cruise ship) that is always moving then the RTH point is locked when triggered. Hence, It will land at the point triggered. If you use IOC to HL flight mode, you can just pull the stick back and this will "follow you" dynamically.

Are you sure? Have you actually tested this? I would think it would lock on to the last recorded Location just like with RTH.

I very much agree with the last point

That is a cool feature that I have never paid enough attention to. Btw, just to clarify, this is in Naza mode and not Phantom mode, correct?

Yup. I did a walk around test in an open field.

Make sure the ring around the radar is green and not yellow. Switch to GS mode and start moving. You will see the "H" move. Yellow means you have the function enabled but not locked. Green means its locked to the device. Also remember that it will default back to course lock mode when shes within 10m radius. This will change her flight direction/behaviour as the recorded course/direction lock is at the take off point.

Make sense?

Naza. And please make sure you check the IOC (intelligent orientation control) box!!!
And also, green ring around the radar = dynamic home point on. Yellow just means it's hasn't got lock.
