Just got my P3S recently and have clocked up 18 flights and I love it, still getting used to everything and I am very happy with the purchase. Furthest I have flown from the home position is 200 metres as I am still a bit weary in case it flies away....I know...... I'm daft.
My last flight gave me a bit of a scare but managed to work it out but I will explain and hopefully someone can give me the best way to recover next time it happens.
I was out flying at a distance of around 50 metres over a bit of scrub, near to zero wind when all of a sudden my Sony Xperia Smart Phone lost contact with the drone, the DJIgo app stopped working and gave a lost contact signal, screen was grey, the drone was just hovering going nowhere. I did realise the hand controller was still operation so I was able to guide it back. The only thing that worries me if it was a distance of 100metres and I fail to notice the orientation of the drone to bring it home, I do know I can toggle the S2 button a couple of times to invoke the RTH but I was wondering if it would be okay to restart the DJIgo app to try and recover the drone this way?
Or is there another way??
Many thanks in advance.
