if your going to quote me and pretend to know the rules, please at least know them. VLOS is not required by the pilot, if you have VO's in radio communication that can see it, you have satisfied the FAA requirements for VLOS.
249 grams or not, you can only fly in designated areas. The FAA has strict rules on drones now. They are considered an aircraft and must follow the rules for aircraft and you as a "pilot". Law enforcement now has the right to see your flying credentials on demand. Also, anyone with a phone can see your drone and identify its owner. Fair warning--Be legal or go to prison.
Yes, because what else does law enforcement have to do out in the sticks.249 grams or not, you can only fly in designated areas. The FAA has strict rules on drones now.

it should if you have the rth height programmed correctly.
I use a pad mainly because of the grass, after take off I give the drone a couple of seconds to update the home point, which it will tell it has, then it is off to the races. When it returns home if I let it self land it will usually be within a foot of where it took off from. If I do not give it those extra seconds to update at take off it will usually be within a couple of feet.
Then you have not set it up correctly, obstacle avoidance works in all modes EXCEPT "Sport". The easiest way to avoid hitting something is to set the RTH in the settings so that AGL is above your highest objects around you.
it will save your butt, mine went over a ridge once, and it went from full strength to nothing, in less then 1 second. 30 seconds later i was back in control.
So you think that these guys claiming that they are flying MILES away have people staged with radios every quarter mile to maintain visual? I would believe it, if they are 107 pilots with a crew, but your quotation of the law further strengthens my statement. These people are flying illegally and we all know it.
I don't assume anything. you quoted my 10.8 post. I had 4 people involved in that flight during a GIS mapping event. Your comments were wrong. I corrected them, regardless of what people are doing.
Has anyone used this DJI mini4 in a geofenced area? If so, how does it react. I live within 5 miles of a small airport and my brother was not able to get his DJI drone (not a mini4) off the ground.
Others have reported they can fly to up to 400' in a geofenced area but what DJI drone are they using?
Correct. I set my return to home at 100 feet because the trees around me are only about 60 feet tall maybe 80ā some of the taller ones.
I take off from my covered porch, fly out from under , then go up. I suspect RTH would land on my roof.
it will wherever it says home point updated.
open task manager when the video is playing if it shows 100% or close to it, then yes.
For PC's that's like 5 or 6 generations. Upgrade. Do you at least have dual flat screen monitors? 20" or better?
Oh yes, they do. It clearly states, "with the unaided eye". The only exception is eyeglasses. This is from the CBO rules if you're flying under the exception (44809). It also states your "observer must be co-located"--Not a half mile away with a radio.
I am impressed you have squeezed so much life and performance out of the computer you invested in more than a decade ago!!
