[QUOTE="JoostGT3, post: 43156, member: 3889"] Ooof, that must have been a brown pants moment! As for myself, even when the Mavic wants to come home due to low battery, most of the time I fly it back manually. What I normally do is try to fly back in a straight line and in a constant descent, hoping that the descending makes for less battery consumption. The effect that you mentioned; due to the friction with the earth's surface *most of the times* the wind is less strong at the surface than it is higher up... so if you need to struggle against the wind, drop it down as low as you can, and fly back in a straight line.
