Just bought the Mavic Pro. Flown it 5 times, 3 times with no success. I boot up remote + app + drone all works fine, a few meters after take off I get the following message (see the attached picture):
No Image Transmission (return to home) and the video transmission part of the screen goes black some of the statuses become N/A. I can still pilot the drone, RTH can be initiated but there is no video transmission. The video on the SD card is as it should be.

I use the iPhone7+ have done all the upgrades, and the calibrations and the drone's first flight was on the 27th of July.

The only difference that I can think off between the 2 times it failed and the other three times it did not was a very bad cellular data coverage at the time it did not work. I know should be irrelevant.

So disapointed in the product, it failed me twice (was carrying it to the montians to make some hiking videos, and it failed both times).

I think, as it was mentioned here already before, that it is the problem with the RC -> iPhone cable. It happened to me as well few times. Today i plug my iPhone with its original apple cable and didnt, get disconnected. Sure need to do more flights to confirm ....

Anyway, When the image loss happened to me, I canceled the RTH and unplug and plug again the cable from RC and it within second or two regain image and I could continue flight.

And yes, it is annoying and DJI should supply better cables.

Please check the flowing steps:
First, please check whether the firmware had upgraded completely. Sometimes the firmware version with a +/- mark behind means the upgrading incomplete. You can check the version by this way: power on the drone, RC, app and enter device---upper right icon---general----about.
Second, please check could you control the gimbal by RC? If the gimbal doesn't move, please try to relink the drone and RC. If you can control it, please try to replug the connecting cable between the RC and the device or change to the original connecting cable of your mobile device. You can plug the port on the bottom of the RC, but need to pull out the cable on the left side first.
Third, try to reinstall the app, don't forget to backup important files and flight records first.
Fourth, please change another place to fly.
Please check if these would help.

Hi

Thank you very much for your reply

1. All my firmware upgrades are current, no +/- anywhere
2. I was able to control the Gimbal during the signal transmission loss
- I did not have an extra cable on me was sure that a device that is 5 days old should work. I have connected/disconnected the cable many times between repeated takeoffs no success, image loss happened every time
- I do want to use the original RC Cable, it is far more convenient for my configuration
3. will reinstall although why were there a few successful flights?
4. Not sure what you mean by that? Change location? The video transmission loss happened at two very different locations.

I am really disappointed, I have a drone I can not trust, I carry it in my backpack not knowing if I will be able to shot video with it or not. On top losing time on the forums looking for solutions...

Hi

Thank you very much for your reply

Except the stock cable has been known to cause exactly the issue you are experiencing. This isn't the UAV failing, this is the cable. You can get a short USB cable.

USB cables are fairly fragile, especially when they are small, light, and thin. I've not had an issue with my stock cable, but I baby it. When I'm using my iPad I use an Apple USB cable. When I am using my phone I use the stock cable. Yours seems to have suffered a failure.

Try a different SD card. I've had the same problem a couple of times which once was down to a corrupt SD card and another time was due to the card being almost full.

I can't see how an SD card error would / could attribute to a transmission signal error? I guarantee you it's that crappy, wee flimsy flat cable supplied, even from new they fail, good thick, high quality shielded cable into the bottom port and you will not have this issue, also couple this with flying in flight mode and this issue will disapear, it's extremely common (see you have full HD signal bars and no transmission indicating the cable) and a root cause of Dji cutting corners on a very important cable.

I can't either but it did. I managed to reproduce the error switching between cards and switching back again. Others have confirmed the same problem.

Big thanks for all your replies. Just went to the same spot where I have experienced the problems for the first time. Flew first with the original RC - Lightning cable, there was a loss of transmission immediately but when I changed the cable with the USB - Lightning cable (bottom RC port) it worked like a charm.

It really sucks to have the RC cable defective out of the box, so how do I get the DJI to send mi the new replacement Free of charge?

i wouldn't bother - I've seen this issue is quite common with the DJI cables, so i wouldn't have much faith in a replacement cable being much difference, just use your own/better cable.

I had exact same issue. Upgraded to iPad mini 4 with new lightning connector. Works great. I'm sure the old thread also said to fly with your phones airplane mode switched on

This is a common issue. Here is a good recommended lightning cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/produc ... 0?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, try to change another place to fly. How far is the drone when the image get disconnected? If you had tried to fly it in a different place, changed another connecting cable, flew it without SD card, reinstall the app etc. but still not worked, please send the drone in and we will have a check for this.

Hello

I created a post about a similar issue and the iPhone in the DJI Go section; https://forum.dji.com/thread-110319-1-1.html

Maybe it is similar to your issue?

Thanks.
