DJI Mini 2 SE - A Complete Guide To RTH "Return To Home" - A Tutorial

In this video I show how to use RTH or Return To Home features of the DJI Mini 2 SE. I show loss of connection, low battery as well as normal use of the RTH function. I also demonstrate how to change the Return To Home point on the map as well as to the controller. I know for many fliers this is their first drone. I hope you find it helpful.

I've just had my first flight an hour ago with my 2 SE and had a panic moment when I pressed RTH and saw the drone fly upwards not realising it was set to 100m. Brought it down and decided to check out RTH settings on YT and found this. Thanks for the info. Reassured a new pilot (UK). Took it back out and forgot to put an SD card in. Managed to see 10 deer in the field next to my home. Typical ha.

One point to add to the RTH function is that you can cancel it when over your target & take over manually by pressing the RTH button once.

I fly from shade . Hehe take off in shade . So I just rth until I can hear it or see it and then land it out away from my shade tree. Or move home out to open after take off. Literally hundreds of flights on 3 different minis. Never had rth problems. Fly at night too Fly with map screen only. Rth works. Drone always sends back true gps data. To map screen. Sweet little drones.

Hi Marcus, very nice tutorial on RTH with the Mini 2 SE. Not long ago I was flying my Autel Nano+. I knew the battery was low, but wanted to continue experimenting with the OA flying under trees. I was watching the drone and not the FPV screen when the drone went into RTH under the trees. It didn't get very far, hitting the lower tree branches. Lost a couple of props, but it taught me to pay more attention to my FPV screen to not enter RTH when flying under trees. Also when flying indoors, RTH needs to turned off.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I agree, when there are overhead obstacles, hovering in place may be the best choice. Thank you, Richard!

[@hiddenguy67]

normally it's not paying attention to the drone and paying attention to the screen

[@kurtcarlson3569]

Thanks, Marcus. I got my mini 2 today and took her for her maiden flight around my neighborhood.. I changed the RTH from my backyard to the front yard ... lots of good info... let me know when and if you want to fly together and I'll be there.

Hey Marcus great shake down on return to home etc. hope all is well

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Michael!

[@jeremycatches9766]

Great Informative video! RTH is scary if you are trying to fly under a canopy of trees. I am in an area where there is plenty of room under the trees to fly but if were to go into RTH for some reason it would fly up into the tree limbs and possibly be stuck. So the Descend and Hover setting look nice, but it is nice to know that RTH won't even work if you are casually flying within 20 meters. I wonder if the 20m limit would still be enforced if the signal drops...

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

When flying under a canopy of trees, you would want to set the drone to hover upon loss of signal rather than RTH. Once you regained signal you could then fly the drone home.

[@carlosuhlmann2491]

I believe that what you did that prevented the drone from coming down for a landing is to move the gimbal. If you read the manual for the drone, it tells you that once you initiate the return to home program not to do that. I suggest you try it both ways so you'll know for sure.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you. I'll check that out!

I'm pretty sure it's because he switched it into "Normal" mode.

[@CarolinaAirshots]

So far for me it always comes back, I made the mistake of ignoring the RTH warning and it said forced landing I got a little nervous lol. I had to keep the trying to go up at the same time I was coming back to me as fast as I could, I started feeling better when I heard it coming and landed it with all red zero's. Man my heart was beating lol

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

[@FredHarvey-wp2qy]

Thanks for the refresher, Marcus. Most I already knew, but it was good to reiterate it to my forgetful mind. I did not know that the drone would spin around to face toward Home, and then travel 50 meters to try to regain its control signal. Does the drone RTH in Normal mode, or does it over ride the current mode and just use Normal speed? I suspect the latter since Normal speed is probably the best ratio of watts used to distance covered. Keep up the good work!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Fred. The drone comes home at 10.5 meters per second. You can override it with the stick to go faster.

Nice tutorial Marcus. I have a question, does RTH work any differently in Mini 2 SE, as opposed to the Mini SE? Great video Marcus, and thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, Ron. The SE comes home at 8 M/S and the 2 SE comes home at 10.5 M/S. Additionally, I do not think the SE backtracks 50 meters upon loss of signal like the 2 SE does.

[@RonaldBrown59]

@@IdahoQuadcopter Great information.

very informative. I have a question associated with RTH. For instance, I live on a hill, if I set my RTH to 35M I will clearly get over the trees around my immediate area. However, if I go into a valley below and I command a RTH, I suppose the drone will go to 35M as defined, but now from the altitude of the valley, I imagine I would never get over those trees as they progress up the hill. So, does this mean I have to aggregate my altitude currently, plus an added value to get above the obstructions heading up from the valley ? I see a lot of info on RTH but nobody seems to really cover this issue..thanks !

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm not exactly sure I understand your scenario. The RTH height that you set in the app is based on the takeoff point. If you flew into a valley and were then at negative altitude from takeoff the drone would still rise to the positive value that you set. I hope this helps.

[@metanoian965]

Good to know info. Good tutorial. Thanks. - 20 meters = Will it RTH from 21 meters ? 25 ?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! Yes, at anything over 20 meters it will rise to its RTH height and come home. 👍

[@vedq5TVvideo]

Let say you originally set the RTH to RTH then you fly the drone far enough to lost a signal aftet losing the signal you turn off the RC then Turn on again the RC this time you change it to hover what will happen? can the drone mess up and will not do the first original set up you did which is RTH and land in the the homepoint? or will the first setup will be erase and do the current set up you did when you turn on the RC?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That is quite a hypothetical. I suspect the drone would continue home. 👍

Great video, thank you. Question. My Mini 4K automatically RTH once my battery gets around 50% but I see your done doesn't. How do I stop that from happening at 50% with my drone?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

My guess is that you are flying far from the takeoff point and the drone calculates that is need the battery power to safely return. 👍

[@AceKing-gx5gc]

@@IdahoQuadcopter Ok, thank you.

[@soaroy]

What if u fly around a rolling terrain does it make the drone rise and fall when u activate the RTH? Or the RTH altitude is fixed relative to the Home Point elevation??

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

No, it will stay at a fixed altitude. Make sure your settings are correct for the location you are flying.

[@yostinpoveda2083]

It's a great little drone. 👍

[@beehr4468]

I wonder why my mini 2se says no gps and tells me to fly safe - it says 9 satellites around me but gps still not available

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It typically teks 12 satellites before the Mini says it's safe to fly. 👍

[@sbozzy5858]

I don’t understand though, they claim you can get 10km range from the drone. How is that possible if his lost connection after 1km

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I purposely flew the drone in such a way that it would lose connection for demonstration purposes. 👍

[@trini_boi2414]

My rth is set to 150 meters..my drone was about 15 meters away at 10 meters high and the silly drone tried to climb to 150 meters..I was expecting the drone to return to home at the current height..well I just lost a drone cause it climbed and hit the power lines before I could hit canceled..

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm very sorry to hear that. It's terrible to lose a drone.

[@trini_boi2414]

@@IdahoQuadcopter yes sure is.. Lucky for me I had insurance I hope they would replace my drone.. I'm currently on vacation so when I get back to Miami FL I'll file a claim 😩

[@MickymaxSP]

Do you think this is the same as DJI Mini SE?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

The Mini 2 SE has a different transmission system and other upgrades. Here is my video of the original DJI Mini SE. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGqzZ2Ooq92KoLM

How do you change meters to feet

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Is this a serious question? Google has a great converter.

[@shiina7141]

Is RTH working without helipad sir ?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, RTH works with or without a landing pad. 👍

[@shiina7141]

@@IdahoQuadcopter wow thanks a lot for the answer 😁

[@jack78946]

What size is the landing pad?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I use a 25 inch pad.

[@jack78946]

Brilliant thank you recently got a 2se and been to places where’s just grass to take off and land but I wasn’t sure what size pad would be ideal for this drone 😄

[@mickhawkes2882]

Which sd card do you use ?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Sandisk Extreme

[@mickhawkes2882]

Thank you.

[@mickhawkes2882]

Sorry for the questions. But I got basic package. How do you store/carry the drone without damaging propellers ?

[@tallicafan85]

I had brain fart. I crashed my drone. I was flying at night for first flight. That was dumb. I should have just flew a tad higher then hit RTH and I would have never have crashed. Only damage was 1 wing. Lesson learned

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear it. Hopefully your repaired and flying again.

[@tallicafan85]

@@IdahoQuadcopter yup. Just 1 wing broke. Came with extras and I ordered 2 sets of new wings and the guards

[@bonnon377]

What happens if you get a phone call

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You can simply cancel it. You may want to put your phone in airplane mode before you fly.

Hey Idaho quadcopter

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Hello!

[@hiddenguy67]

​@IdahoQuadcopter are you the only person who actually talks about the mini 2 se? because no other yoituber talks about its its just the mini 2 in general. also for some reason I can't find the mini 2 in stock and there's only the mini 2 se so I'm not sure if I should just get the mini 2 se or go for a mini 3 fly more

[@hiddenguy67]

[@km351c6]

Thats not the same controller that came with my Mini S E.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

You are correct. The Mini SE comes with the old style controller and is a WiFi drone. This one is occusync 2.

[@gradyrm237]

Idaho? Stop saying meters

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

The metric system makes so much more sense. 👍
