Took my P3 on a holiday. Preparations for the flight were:
Charged batteries to 100% 2 days before flight
Upgraded firmware and RC to 1.5.0030
Upgraded DJi Go to v2.4.2 (76) (running on Note 5)
First 3 flights were OK. On the 4th flight, took off from a lake shore and flew over water in a straight line away from me. After 29s, signal was lost and efforts to regain signal was unsuccessful. Press the return to home button and gave up waiting after 45 mins.
On checking the logs, the signal was lost 29s into the flight at a distance of 238m and height 89m. Though it was line of sight, I could not spot the P3. The video log on the phone showed the flight progressing normally, and climbing steadily, after which the video cut-off suddenly.
After 50 plus flights, it was my first series of flights after upgrading firmware, DJI Go app, and new Note 5 phone. Not sure if it was the phone, DJI app, Firmware or combination. I did notice on my second flight that there was a weak signal warning a minute or so in the flight, and I had turned the plane around and returned. Unfortunately, on the 4th flight, the loss of signal was too sudden and control was lost.
Just thought I would post this as a warning to fellow pilots to be careful after upgrading. In the meantime, I will write to DJi to see if there is anythin they can do.
