To anyone who says the range is fine.. please don't reference FCC videos and say its all good - this is a CE problem. And OBVIOSLY we are pointing the controller exactly at the drone and there is no wind or nearby interference. I mean I now know of 3 individuals personally and we all have the same issue. All under 1km range at the best. Average 500m. Pull out any other drone and boom full range. So how can it be just the Mini 3. I have a load of flight time and this is a serious issue which I really need addresses urgently as this is a part of my job, I am not playing with this thing and need it to work next week for a job that requires a sub 250g drone for legal reasons. I can't afford drop outs at stupid ranges like 300 to 500m.
There is nothing obvious as to how you're pointing the controller, not without video of the screen and video of you controlling the rc, only then will it be "obvious" to us.
This wasn't just a CE issue, certainly not in the beginning, or perhaps those in FCC actually found the best way to hold the RC and its working now?
If you need it for work then it should be fine as 500m is the maximum LOS you're allowed to fly away from the pilot anyway, also, with a mini, 300m LOS is about the furthest they can be seen anyway, i mean seen and be able to take your eyes off and not spend the next hour trying to find its position again, I have very good long-distance vision and i struggle with the Mini 2, the P4P a bit further away, so its certainly still useable for your work for the time being until your issues are resolved. After all, you don't want to void your commercial insurance... |
