When to land?

I just installed the DJI mini on my hexacopter so I am disabling the battery warnings on the DJI Naza-M but does anybody know what battery voltage a 4S battery would be before I need to land?

Easy? You call that easy?
Why are you disabling the battery warnings? As long as you don't use the default it works really well.

Around 14.8V is a good starting point (depends how much of a voltage drop your lipos give in flight).

The battery warnings, when programmed into the NAZA, should cause the voltage display on the iOSD to flash. A handy extra feature in case you forget to look at it.

I would program in some sensible warnings. The first level for the flashing light warning some thing like I mentioned above. The second level can be really ridiculously low as it's just for a super emergency (like 13.6V or something).

Cool?

Always worth having some form of flight time/voltage alarm as it is sooo easy to get distracted at just the wrong time and next thing you know, your pride and joy has taken a nice dirt nap. Either use a timer, a voltage alarm or a capacity alarm.

Spektrum Telemetry works well for me. I used the voltage setting on the Naza fine, but was told to switch it off on the wookong ? It was just when 5.26 was released it may have had a bug or something but like I say the Spektrum Telemetry works fine.
I use a battery buzzers on my ground station / video link

On 4S on my Disco I am looking to land when the voltage hits 14.1 volts, that means I usually have 20-25% left in the packs.

Definitely a good idea to kill the voltage cutout in the Naza software.
