It came home!!!!!

I just lost my Zino.

I live on top of a hill and I stupidly flew too high and got into strong airflow. I watched sadly as my long awaited Zino f£$ked off into the ocean. Eventually the screen disconnected. I slunk back into my house to kick my cat around and make a cup of tea. Two mins later I hear the faint buzz of my drone auto returning to home where it landed on my garden table.

Im still crying with joy.

There are two flaws I am having trouble with though.

1) Video is shaky in anything except the stillest of conditions.

2) Card read speed error is completely sporadic and unfathomable. I have to clear all the files off my card every time I reboot or it wont accept the card...

Im not sure how much, if anything, the gimbal update has done.

WHEW!

Nice!

What a cardiac moment after all the waiting and disappointment!!!

I'm not having the SD card problem at all...I probably have 6 or 7 videos and pictures all together on it and it still is acting well.
I haven't flown update yet so no info there for you.
My SD Card from Amazon:

Was your Zino recording video while it took the trip? Would be great to know how it eventually made it back home. :D

I had my 502S land and attempt takeoff a few times and then take off and fly back to me once when I lost signal.

Wow! RTH is really useful! I'm glad for you too. But now, it's your cat who wants to leave :D

Is there a setting for RTH height? I guess it has to be higher for RTH over a forest. I'm still learning from you guys, cos I'm a 60-yr-old noob at camera drones flying; having just received mine yesterday afternoon in Singapore
