Hi,
Today I had the proper test flights with Mavic and while I love the whole experience and technology, I had the issue mentioned in the subject.
In two seperate locations, Mavic lost connection to the app while I still had the RC control with it.
In fact, I had no problems with RC control and I was loosing app connection with Mavic when 1-5 meters from the quadcopter!
Before I describe the worst case scenario, here are the specs:
- Mavic and RC updated to the latest .500 firmware,
- iPhone 7 Plus ios 10.3, Flight mode/offline mode not enabled
1) In one location, about 20-30 seconds after establishing connection between iphone-rc-Mavic and preparing for takeoff, I suddenly lost transmission from camera,
2) After 2-5 more seconds, application lost all the live data from Mavic and was showing nothing.
3) I force closed the application, and opened it again,
4) It was not showing Mavic or any connection to Mavic, so I repeated step 3 again,
5) Same thing happened, so I did it once more,
6) Application was all of a sudden showing me Phantom 4 Pro picture... I don't have one so I have no idea what happened there, but this got me confused so I turned RC off, Mavic off, force closed the application and took the battery out of Mavic.
7) I repeated procedure of turning on Mavic and RC again, everything worked fine.
On earlier occassion, in the middle of forest with lots of branches, me flying in tripod mod and having to rc connection lost set to hover instead of RTH.
Imagine my surprise, when standing no more than 3 meters and pointing RC antennas towards mavic... All of a sudden I get picture lost on the app, live data lost on the app and prompt on the screen if I want to start RTH procedure.
To be honest, because of that, I lost a bit of faith in this equipment because if that happened not in line of sight, I would have to rely on RTH only. And those two events happened not further than 5 meters away from Mavic.
I will try to dig some logs later on but before I do, maybe someone can tell me if those issues were reported before by others? I could not find anything.
Thanks!
