Hi Mindy, thanks for your prompt response, I appreciate your input.
Generally I am super happy with the Mavic 3 Cine. It really flies better an more precisely than any other drone I have owned previously and there have been quite a few: Phantom 3 and 4, Mavic and Mavic Pro 2 and Inspire. None of these drones had trouble with disconnecting like this one is now, not in wide open spaces or in forest areas.
Unfortunately we are making a film about Birds that live in the rainforest of Papua so there really is no option to fly in a wide or broad place like you suggest.
my last flight the drone disconnected again at various distances, from 2 to 20 meters but all had direct line of sight to the controller and the controller antenna were pointed directly at the Mavic 3.
making matters worse the drone started ascending automatically even though all obstacle avoidance was turned off and the drone was not closer than 2 or 3 meters to the next tree at that time. Worst of all the drone then gave the message "Landing" a few times even though there was still plenty of battery power left, at least 50% so each time I had to manually override the "landing" procedure or I would have lost the drone in the forest!
This is really not a viable situation for me as I am working on a (for me) very important Blue Chip Natural History Film Project for major Television Stations in Europe (German ARD, ARTE, ORF etc. )
For now I have finished this part of filming and will depart tomorrow for Thailand where we will continue filming for the same project and will absolutely need a drone that can fly absolutely reliably, so I really would like to get a replacement for this Mavic 3 pro Cine as soon as possible.
Is there a way that you can help me out here so that I can receive a new Drone in Thailand within the next week at the latest? I will be staying in Chang Mai in Thailand for the next seven days so that would be the best place to receive the drone.
thanks for you help, I look forward to a positive reply!
my best, Brian
