DJI Drones - fly before updating home point

Since I knew that I had reduced battery life, I took off and immediately started flying
0:05
towards the target for my first clip, instead of waiting for the satellite to lock, which
0:11
likely generally happens in a very short time through the mini-tree. Therefore the home point was updated a bit further away from my location and this does
0:20
not help when trying to land the aircraft in very dark conditions, as the best way to
0:25
retrieve a drone for landing is to have an accurate home point and check the distance
0:29
of the drone relative to it in the lower left part of the screen
0:36
After three very quick clips I started bringing the birds back towards the nest
0:42
I noticed that Mount Etna right at that moment was putting up a show and I was very tempted
0:48
to shoot some very spectacular footage, but I decided to behave and bring the drone back
0:54
As I was running a bit short of battery. But I still had 6 minutes left and I was not too far away
1:03
With any other drone I have no issue locating my position at this time at night, but with
1:08
the mini-tree everything was extremely dark and I could not even recognize my house
1:14
According to the distance the drone was supposed to be very close, but I could not see the
1:18
flashing LEDs. As I said, my home point was not updated in the correct location
