hi, Guy, I understand your concerns
I've actually sent an email to DJI support on a very similar issue (GPS reception related). I got a polite answer, but I asked for more information (and basically an answer to my technical question). I'm still waiting for an answer.
I assume that some of DJI employees watching this forum either don't know or can't answer (for whatever reasons). So, meanwhile we're just guessing.
My personal experience so far included 3 recovered "flyaways", probably due to GPS issues. After that, I've added extra GPS insulation on my P2V+ v2 and, so far, so good... no more flyaways. The insulation didn't increase the satellite reception as reported by other users. A few days ago, I did fly at 5-6 satellites coverage. I was always ready to switch manually to ATTI mode but there was no need - all worked as expected. Today, I was constantly at 5 satellites coverage (a first) and I just decided to fly in ATTI mode on my choice (S1 switch to middle position).
The problem is that, indeed, we may have some weak/faulty GPS antennas... or just our flight sites are not optimal (close to high trees, hills, etc).
Either way, it would be great to get an "official" answer on GPS reception from DJI. Personally, I'm really interested what Phantom software is doing in terms of GPS error correction... And, yes, maybe my GPS unit is not great... |
