It is a common problem, the fix are far and wide. Look in YouTube and hopefully one will work. First try and change the SD card, it happened on my Phantom 3 Standard and it fixed it for a while.
Personally I have a theory it has something to do with either interference or GPS battery. I have 3 phantom 3 standard and only one has this problem, if I move it around and restart everything, it will connect . If I moved it around again it will disconnect . In testing I tried placing the other 2 in the same position and no issue at all. When I take an video or picture it appear to take the image and from the app there is an image but it is black and the date is incorrect. When I try to open it there is a connection error. There is a small battery or capacitor? on the GPS and I think at least I  my case is the issue. I have flown this unit in - 30 temperature and may have killed this part. The battery is spot welded on, so maybe one day I will change it or swap the top she'll with my other unit and see if it is the issue.

Anyway have a look in YouTube and I am hoping one of the solution will work out, from watching them, people have succeeded in fixing this issue. For myself it has been 3 years and the issue is intermittent, I fly this unit without using the camera. Good Luck!

Aloha Ray,

     When was the last time you updated the GEO Zones?  A friend's Phantom had a similar problem and I updated his GEO Zones and everything worked.

     Hope this helps!  Stay safe!

Aloha and Drone On!
