Return to home and pitch speed

[Jet84]

Question: Is there a way to turn off return to hope while staying on gps. Reason for this being that we will be on a sailboat and don’t want the spark to run out of battery, return to home and land in water or elsewhere? Was also wondering what is the ideal gimbal pitch speed in your opinion.

Hi Jet84,
if you are launching from a boat and I'm assuming you won't be moving but want to allow for some movement/ drifting then you could set the RTH as the controller's location rather than the take off point. That way you could allow for a change in location. Personally if you used the RTH I would pause it on final part of return and bring back to you manually. Also consider bringing the Spark back slightly earlier than maybe you normally would...Just to allow more time to safely get back to you. (Extra 5% maybe). Just a thought [emoji106]

Gimbal speed...another personal choice but I have mine very low. Currently set on 2. Just to minimise jerky movement

Thanks! Didn’t know I can do that with the controller

I launch from a boat and always set the controller as Home Point,,
