P4P+, GO 4: 4.1.0 app, 01.04.0602 version, 1.2.0.0 system

If I am close to Home and hit the RTH button, the drone just lands where it was when I hit the button. Does not move to Home.

If I am greater than some distance away, it ascends and returns to Home.

Is this how it is or do I have a bug?

If this is how it is, what is the distance where this behavior changes?

Thank you.
 
can ignore, sorry
found answer on the web
this is how it is
 
For those who haven't properly read the manual, and want a more specific answer, if the aircraft is within 20M of its home point when a RTH event is initiated, either through the GO app, pressing the remote button, low battery or a loss of RC signal, the aircraft will land where it is, straight down...
 
thank you, this is interesting

my Phantom is only couple months old and I have the Phantom_4_Pro_Pro_Plus_User_Manual_EN from the dji web and have read/searched

cannot find this info in the manual and would like to read more on the topic

on what page is this info it located?

thank you
 
I can't speak for the P4Pro manual, but on the old P4 standard it's on page 13, under the RTH section....

ah so, under Failsafe RTH; guess it applies to Smart RTH as well; is good to know, thank you
 
Yeah I guess the manual isn't as clear as it could be there. Anywhere it just says 'RTH' instead of specifying which RTH it's talking about assume it means all three :)
