I have NO idea why that happened but also, what to do when that happens
I don't know that I can explain the "why" but the best thing to do when that happens is to make sure you have plenty of altitude and then watch the distance on the remote controller, gradually adjusting the yaw until the distance is decreasing at the fastest rate possible. At that time your aircraft will be pointing to its home point (presumably where you are located) and you can bring it back without FPV. Or, of course, you could always just use the RTH button on the remote to bring it back that way.
I have a brand new just delivered Mavic. On first power on it told me Gimbal disconnected, but after that one time, and now 2 firmware updates I don't get that any more. Upto now I have just used the simulator to get a basic feel for the controls.
So today I took if for its first flights. 3 times I managed to take off, and 3 times the video went dead, blank grey screen just like you described, with in 2 minutes. All I could do was steer it home and land.
I have an iPhone 7Plus on latest software and using latest version of DJI Go 4. The Mavic and controller software is the new one from a day or two ago.
Very frustrating.
