[QUOTE="netfolks2000, post: 41467, member: 8578"] " they stated that once the drone moves out of the safe fly zone, it effective cannot return to home." I don't understand what that means. I assume "safe fly zone" means an area where there is contact between controller and drone. It may be the drone was set to hover when contact was lost so it did. And it may be there was never enough contact again to tell it to RTH, so it hovered until the battery died and went down. Dynamic home point is risky, especially over water because that point, when set, changes immediately as the boat moves away from it. Same with setting the home point of where the drone itself is. If over water, then that is where it will land. The other thing you can watch is distance, keeping it pretty close when over water. Even if GPS is lost you can fly in the direction that the drone distance decreases as you watch on your screen, even if you don't know where you are in the view.
