You say hardware deficiency, is this only for some or for all ? A deficiency in the aircraft would surely mean that the problem would be consistent, like you say sometimes you are loosing signal in less than 20 metres, if this was a problem with hardware surely it would be a problem every time you launch.
I think a good option is for those who are having problems to post videos of these problems and areas being flown in, they should show envoirment devices being used and the consistency in loosing signal, I think this will have a greater impact in finding out if there is a problem with aircraft.
Well that's kind of the point of this thread, to see how many owners are experiencing problems. Obviously it isn't all of them, however knowing that these electronic products are most likely to be produced on a product assembly line (possibly multiple lines) there could have been a defective batch or batch of bad components, who knows. When it comes to radio transmission problems they are extremely hard to pinpoint. I work in aviation electronics including radios, radars, navigation systems, etc, and one day things will work fine, the next day complete failure. It's the nature of the wireless technology and yes it is very easy and likely to say its an environmental issue, however you can only say that for so long and to so many people before it should be address or looked into. DJI cant say "The planet earth may cause radio interference, please try in another location." When it comes down to it there are lots of people with these problems, I'm hoping to find out how many to find the point where it tips the scales enough for DJI to say "Lets take another look at this". Consistent reporting like you suggest would help rule out other factors and is the most reliable way to report information.
Again I point back to my P3A, which when I fly it in the same location, with the same iPad, on the same radio frequencies, with less transmitting power than the Air, I have absolutely no problem at all. |
