[QUOTE="CDS, post: 43080, member: 4468"] In Autopilot, if you slide the sport mode button to "on" it stops the program, drone hovers in place. That's of course if it has comm'n with the RC, and GPS lock. If it looses conn'x with the RC, it should also stop and hover. Seems I had the perfect storm of GPS issues (maybe caused by a conflict between compass, IMU and GPS which dropped it into atti mode), disconnect from the controller, and visual loss (just at the wrong time). At that point it was just drifting with the wind, so hitting the "sport mode" emergency approach wouldn't help since it had stopped the program anyway to due to RC disconnect. In hindsight, I should have tilted the gimbal down and landed as quickly as possible when it reconnected, then tracked it down using the log or find-my-drone. Hitting RTH in autopilot also halts the program, then the AC returns home autonomously. It's on the setting page. I've found Autopilot to be great for getting smooth "drive-by" shots I can't get manually. - this was a frustrating combination circumstances, combined with my novice "emergency situation" skills that caused it to drift before I could recover.
