Hello drone peeps
Last night i flew my drone for the fisrt time at night. it was amazing. so when i looked at my flight record it said "weak GPS Signal" last night it was cloudy, but i flew 4 mintues early tho? Plus when i did the auto take off it hoverd then went towards the controller. So i had to use the left joystick and push it up. this didn't happen early cuz i did auto takeoff?

Make sure you double on the Vitamin D for night flight!

hahaha

Were you somewhere that the drone wouldn't have had a clear view of most of the sky - maybe close to a building etc?
It's hard to know what Weak GPS Signal means but looking at your actual flight data will solve the mystery.

i think it was slightly cloudy,Because it rained like 30 minutes later.
i flew the drone like 4 minutes before the weak gps
but ill do that
thanks for the advise

Seriously now, You always have to wait for at least 14 Sats and not fly off concrete and or off or close to metal and metal objects. I always wait for at least 14 Sats and then let it hover for 1 to 2 minutes and turn it around, up and down in all directions, to make sure everything is OK and Sats are stable. Also cloud and or storm might affect GPS. Better be safe than sorry!

Cloudy, rain or snow will make no difference to GPS
Post your flight data and we'll see what really happened
