Hallo Pilots!!

F-16 here... Im new phantom 4 pilot, i fly 3 or 4 months. Everything was fine until a week ago. I* started RTH mode with sensors but the drone just went heigher and heigher. I saw a conversation about the same issue from another p4 pilot but after i reset the drone and recalibrate the sensors nothing seems to get better. I got the same issue.


Can anyone helpme?

Welcome!

We have seen this reported numerous times. Check out the thread below and the link it includes pertaining to FW.

 
Thank you for your immidiately response!

I have a few questions though.....

1) What is VPS
2)What is Gimbal Protector

I use the latest FW!!

Thank you to be so patient!!!
 
Yip welcome F-16
Gimble protector just a add on part that saves some damage if minor crashes ....VPS is the downward sensors,,mechanical sonar sends pulse to ground and back to help with the drone showing height and has monocular cams on either side of these little speakers,,helps with smart return home for accurate landings,they not work well over reflective surfaces ,,you can find heaps of info by downloading the online manual just with simple Google search,,its covers everything you need to know which normal booklet dont have....also check your RTH setting ,,it should stop at this determined height before rth fully engages

Did you use the link pertaining to FW in the other thread as I mentioned earlier. If not, here it is again. It mentions how downgrading FW has helped multiple people with this issue. As with everything, your mileage may vary.

If you can post the recorded flight data from the flight incident, I can check that to confirm whether the VPS sensors are the issue (or not).

Go to DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help
Follow the instructions there to upload your flight record from your phone or tablet.
That will give you a detailed report of the flight.
Come back and post a link to the report it gives you.
Or .. just post the txt file here.
