    Hey there guys,

    I've been asked by a few people what I think about RTH drones, and if there's some cheaper options and decided to make an article explaining the basics and Listing a comparison table with my top GPS drones (from the most expensive to the cheapest).

    Here's the article: https://dronesgator.com/drones-with-return-to-home-feature/

    About types of return to home
    There's button return to home - which means you'll press the button for RTH and the drone will come back to the point it took off.

    Signal Lost RTH - This means the drone is capable of returning back by itself when losing signal from the remote( very useful feat, usually found on DJI drones)

    Low battery RTH - it's pretty obvious, but this is also important, as you may not be able to corectly approximate the time it takes for you to return the drone and get out of battery before it gets home. You don't want your quad to land into water.

    There's also a very interesting effect that makes GPS drones not so practical sometimes. It's called the toilet bowl effect, and some drones have it (not the ones I put on the list).
