How to update the Home Point | Return To Home on the Fly app

[@tomharmon3193]

Thanks from Michigan🇺🇸 did not know this 👍

[@GlenB1963]

Thanks, Richard. The top tip here is putting the map into satellite mode. For me, where I have my mavic 3 classic following me in my boat, I can't have the comfort of knowing that I can safely get to ground without worrying that it may land on the water. Well done, brother 👏

Excellent demonstration. Thanks!

[@darrylleonhard]

Thank you Richard... I was always thinking otherwise about this confusion of home points... But u have just made everything so clear and thank you for this... God bless..

[@RichardFiske0311]

You're welcome Darryl, glad it was useful and it could help get rid of a stressful situation.

Excellent, Richard. I learned that it is possible to adjust the HP position graphically on the map. Thanks. I'm subbing. Greetings from Montreal, Canada.

Great Blueskyver, glad it helped you

Excellent video with a very practical and simple explanation, I was looking for this information some time ago. Thank you very much

[@RichardFiske0311]

Cheers Eduardo. Always nice to know my videos are useful, appreciate you leaving a comment 👍

Thanks Richard. I recently purchased the Air 2S and looking for a quick video on the Home Point update feature. Cheers.

[@jj8526]

As you say Richard, it's a very useful bit of information if for any reason one might want or need to change their home point.. Well delivered and easily understood..👏👏

[@RichardFiske0311]

Thanks JJ. 👏

[@TheSigshooter]

Very helpful, thanks.

[@RichardFiske0311]

Cheers, its very useful toi know and more importantly that you're doing it right. Glad it helped.

[@YouRock-WeDrone]

Great tutorial, Richard. I didn't know you can change it while it's returning to home already. That's cool. Cheers, Dan

[@RichardFiske0311]

Hiya matey, thats was a good thing to learn to...could come in useful on the RTH

[@t3g9]

Thank you very usefull

[@jimmyasdaho2714]

that's a good one, Richard. now i don't have to worry where my drone will land in case i move to another location while flying.

[@RichardFiske0311]

Cheers for watching and commenting Jimmy, Im glad it was useful.👏👍

[@RichardFiske0311]

This is a must watch if you are unsure of how to update / change your Home Point or RTH point. In case of emergencies, this knowledge could save your drone from being lost.

[@jmergill5630]

Good tutorial and thank you.

[@RichardFiske0311]

Thanks

[@dmctec5943]

Thanks for your test. There are extreme situations that you can have when you fly far away, and you go by boat, moto, bike or car... the remote control can turn off, or if it is mobile when there is strong sun or too much heat the screen becomes very dark and you no longer have possibilities of changing home point and if you are in the sea, mountains or a lake you have to go quickly to look for the drone it before it lands and if you are lucky find it. thxs

[@shaunthedrone]

Good to know Richard, my friend has a boat now so this will come handy! Many thanks for sharing the info - big Like from me :)

[@RichardFiske0311]

Thanks Shaun. 👍

[@sutats]

Lovely jubbly.

[@ronhiller3301]

So if you set the new home point to the controller and keep walking will the update continue to follow the controller or do you need to keep updating it, say your in a moving boat and you select the controller for your new home point and your still moving, will it follow the controller or land at the point where the controller was when you updated the home point ? Thanks

[@RichardFiske0311]

Hi Ron, good question. To be honest I'm not 100% sure, I think it would fly to the where the controller was, because it would use the GPS coordinates set. But it would probably be a safe option to reset to the new controller position. Maybe it would be a good idea to give it a try and see what it does ?

[@ABF47]

While updating home point does it require to connect the drone wifi with Mobile data?

[@christophersmith-zn2kn]

Hi Richard, I only have two of the three symbols showing on my map. I don't seem to be seeing the symbol for my controller. The only symbols I can see is my drone symbol and the homepoint symbol. Do you have any ideas why it's not showing.

[@RichardFiske0311]

Hiya, thats weird, have you made sure you have all the latest updates. I must admit, I've not flown for a while, so maybe the systems have changed, but I would have thought that having the controller as a symbol option was still a fundamental part of the safety features

[@christophersmith-zn2kn]

@@RichardFiske0311 when I checked for updates it said firmware up to date. Not sure if I need to have locations on in my phone settings, I'm still new to this

[@maddmavic]

U can hit the red cancel x button also it's alot faster

[@josefinandersson7646]

if my drone have a range of 4km, could i start the drone, set a homepoint 15km away, and then when i press" return to home", it will fly the 15km by it self?

[@RichardFiske0311]

Hi I think you mean 1.5km not 15kms, and yes, the drone would fly to the new home point 😀

[@josefinandersson7646]

@@RichardFiske0311 no, i really ment 15km. Beccause if i have a 4km range limit, it would be awesome to have it fly 15km all by it self.

[@RichardFiske0311]

@@josefinandersson7646 Hiya, the signal would be lost and the drone would run out of battery probably and crash

[@JohnHenworth]

Hello Richard where in Spain do you live? I am thinking about getting a drone but don't know the Spanish law, eg registering, licence and insurance. it will be a sub 250 gr one I live in Almeria province, in Cuevas del Almanzora, I have liked and subscribed as I enjoyed your video Thanks John

[@RichardFiske0311]

Hi John, I'm just down the road from in Vera 👍 I'm just recreational so don't have any professional licenses etc

[@JohnHenworth]

It's a small world. Do you have to register yourself, where do you fly your drone? I will just be doing it for fun, not in towns, Is the DJI mini 2 a good start-up drone. They look good fun and the camera on them is very good. I will keep looking for new videos. John

[@RichardFiske0311]

@@JohnHenworth the mini 2 is a great little drone. I fly wherever I want generally, no one has stopped me apart from once in a national park because of the eagles flying there. I film all sorts of nature, scenery stuff

[@RichardFiske0311]

Let me know, we can meet to to fly together etc

[@JohnHenworth]

thanks for the invite, when I get my drone I will be in touch, you are a lot younger than I am. I liked your video on the old Cabrera bowling greens, as I am a bowler myself. What editing software do you use, you make it look simple? Thanks again John ,If I buy it from Amazon I will use your link

[@lemezurc1]

Hello im trying to update home point on my dji mini3 using rc remote and they asking for internet connection

[@RichardFiske0311]

Hi Emel, it will probably need internet for the map so that it is able to know where you are and for you to change it on that map interface. If you are using your phone as the viewing it should get it from that. You are able I believe to download the maps first before flying.

[@lemezurc1]

@@RichardFiske0311 oh thanks guess using phone as flyapp is better than pro remote

[@jerrytroy3006]

What happen if you move the drone a bit far from you will the drone head back to you and land on itself?

[@RichardFiske0311]

Yep, the drone will return to the take off point

[@darrylleonhard]

Jerry with all due respect, please watch the video again... I guess it will make things clearer..

[@PuRpLeHaZe420.]

Los naranjos golf club ?

[@RichardFiske0311]

Valle del Este golf course, Vera, Almería Spain 😀👍

[@MrLiamGood]

They should have kept dynamic homepoint.

[@RichardFiske0311]

Hi Liam, yep that would be just so much easier, definately.

[@mdees88]

Can't believe there's not satellite view on the update home point map. You don't have a clue whether your setting your home point in a field or a group of trees. Very disappointing....

[@edgodsall3740]

Why is this over 7 mins hahahahahha

[@RichardFiske0311]

Thats are what it came out to in time. Dont see your point tbh. Dont like it, dont watch it

[@a6km]

But the RTH will not update if you are moving so you always have to set it in the app if you want to change it right?
