Hi
When using my Mavic air in the UK I get the little warning box saying poor reception. I usually turn back or stop go any further.
Should I ignore and jusy carry on ? Once you get thie pop up box am I close to its range limit ?

Thanks Carlo

It's a 'warning box' if you 'ignore' you may loose your drone. Personally any warning boxes I get I act on, no hassle, land the AC and fly another day.

I would always listen to the warnings. The warnings are in the best interest of the drone and the pilot.  There could be a lot of interference between you and the drone. In example by my home there are large power lines and if I get within a block away from the power lines the signals are sketchy.

You could ignore them but you could be paying the price in a new drone or repair fees. I would choose the "be safe than sorry" angle.

I agree with the top two comments. Why risk losing your bird.

Hi Carlo, please do not ignore the warning box from the DJI GO4 app, take care and fly safely.

Yesterday, I was on an open beach, far from anything, no antenas, nothing. Got the infamous box after 500 meters and, even better, i suffered lost of image transmission. Furthermore, I got the interference warning while there were no wifi or other radio emmissions  for at least  900 meters away. Will « warehouse » that poor little thing and go back to my Mavic Pro once back at home. Extremely disappointing device.

Please, do not ever ignore any warning (in Any Gadget, for that reason)! Try to find the reason & Solution!! All the best

1. Changing the WIFI from 2.4 GHz to 5.8 GHz to reduce the Interference - but this will reduce your range!! 2. A WIFI Signal Booster also can be helpful to you.
