Recap: It’s possible to manually change the Home Point and Course Lock direction after take off and while in flight.

Course Lock Direction reset is S2 Top-Middle-Top 3-5 times; Home Point reset is S2 Middle-Bottom-Middle 3-5 times.

Make sure you do not cycle through all three positions (Top through Bottom). Doing all three positions may result in

the resetting of both CL and HP. Obviously, if you want to manually set a new Home Point, you need to turn off

Dynamic Home Point (see below).

Real Life example on why a manual Home Point reset might be useful

I set a new home position 30m away and 30m high. I initiated Failsafe and the model climbed to 50m and went to the

new home location. I will say that it's a bit tricky to set the point, the switch flipping needs to be just right and it's

helpful to be able to see the status lights flicker or make sure you do the switch flipping until the distance changes to

zero (Radar Function). I tested this to help a guy flying in a golf course around very high trees. He walked under a tree,

lost signal, triggered Failsafe, model flew into a tree. Using this method you could set a home point location high above

the fairway. If the model then triggers Failsafe, it would climb above all trees, fly over the clear area and land in the

fairway, or descend until he could regain control.

News to know: With the latest DJI’s update, we now have the ability to change the default Return to Home(RTH) altitude

(20m/66ft) using the VISION app or the Assistant software. So there’s no need to manually reset the Home Point way up

in the air if your goal is to avoid high obstacles in case Failsafe is triggered; just change your RTH altitude.

News to Know: With the latest DJI updates, it is now possible to activate a Dynamic Home Point function. When using a

GPS-enabled mobile device and activate the Dynamic Home Point from the VISION app, the Home Point will

automatically be reset to the location of the device every 2 seconds during flight. Dynamic Home Point is useful in

situations when you are in motion (on a boat, for example) and require a Home Point that is different from the takeoff

point. Note: Home Orientation at the point of take off will remain as the reference point.
