So on the last couple of flights, I'm noticing that the video on my phone is constanting pixelating, and I'm getting disconnection warnings. At first, I was getting reconnected, so I slowly started my way back. However, shortly there after, I totally lost connection so I killed the app and restarted quickly - Still no connection. Thank God the drone was within sight and I was still connected by the controller and visually bring it home. I bring it back, recalibrate everything, restart the phone, controller and MPP, give it another try. Same thing! So I do a little surfing and find out that the included cables are crap, so I pull out a new Anker USB to USB C cable I have, and walla, solved immediately.
Kind of upsetting to spend $1,500 for a MPP FM combo, and end up with mission critical issues with crappy cables. Worse, trying to find a quality cable with a 90 degree turn on the USB C end is going to be next to impossible.
What's the deal here DJI?? Kind of sucks having a drone with close to a 5 KM range that you cannot trust do to inferior components that go haywire after very little use. No doubt, had I lost the drone due to this, even with the Refresh, it would have been all my fault. Very irritating!
How about outsouring the cables to a quality vendor like Anker so they might actually last more than a couple of hours!
