Comment on Waterproof Drones – Get a Look Under the Water by Daniël

It wouldn’t be too much of trouble to equip the cheaper variants with GPS?
Because that wouldn’t be the cost for the manufacturer.
One thing I hate about RTH function with GPS drones.
They return to take-off point. I use to walk with the controller in my hand, which easily can be one or two kilometres from take-off point.
I want it to return to where the controller is, so it comes back to where I AM when the geo-fencing for low battery/no wifi range kicks in. Otherwise I have to walk two kilometers back, which gives bad people plenty of time to steal it.
