[QUOTE="BrianP, post: 122164, member: 6888"] cheers Rotorwash! I learnt a big lesson while flying this morning... The needle position on the go4 app compass is your best friend! Height was restricted to 200 feet by the app/location. Wind was triggering onscreen warnings at max height. I could not reach the topping from my take off height. I took a few shots and a blown out vid and then flew backwards to return to home point. Drone drifted left, easily corrected... distance from me went down and then began going up! I checked the compass needle and sure enough I had flown over my head and was flying away... I paused, gathered myself and proceed to fly so that the numbers counted down. It worked and I got the drone overhead, then landed it. So... the compass needle was a godsend, especially on the ipad mini4 screen. If I had been using a phone I may not have realised that the compass needle moves up and down the screen, indicating how far you are from take off... Lesson learnt!!! Now all I need to do is figure out how to solve the blown out images... [/QUOTE]
