Hi all
I've been out with the mavic lately and flying about a mile away over my town, and a red flashing interference warning pops up. Can ignore this? What's the worst that can happen? I usually panic when I see this and turn back!! Kinda mucks up my mission! If there is complete loss will the mavic RTH? Thanks

What's the specific message? Yes, if interference causes the connection between your Mavic and its controller to be lost then it will RTH, at least if you have it configured to do so when the connection is lost. That's the default behavior / setting, so unless you've changed it then it will return.

Its says strong interference in red at the top left. Thanks, reassuring knowing it will return home. I was afraid of it falling out of the sky!

The Mavic would fall out of the sky, if you accidentally do a CSC in mid-flight.

Thanks is there anyway to disable that setting? seems a bit risky.

nope.. its emergency thing...  not sure the logic about it since seems dangerous to people on the ground and dangerous to the aircraft.  

as for red interference warnings occur when something is causing a sudden signal break, could be anything from trees in the wind, to the fact you forgot to compensate for curve of the earth and changing terrain.

i remember other day flying 3 miles out and it clicked with my that ground level changed means my AGL ceiling lifted higher as well.. +300 feet means i could raise up another 300 feet to match my AGL clearance of 400 feet.. also the earth curves and occusync frequencies dont curve nearly as much as the earth nor its terrain..

Using CSC in mid-flight is considered to be an emergency stop, basically sacrificing the Mavic - if it is flying too low - to avoid a larger disaster.
I wonder whether hitting the Pause button wouldn't be more efficient?

Yah because the better im getting at flying im doing more kinda radical backward flying with yaw in sportmode. The csc could be triggered by mistake. Ill have watch out for that!

It would be an extreme coincidence should someone do a CSC in mid-flight accidentally.

We don't suggest ignoring this prompt, please fly the drone with caution and keep the drone in the visible range if possible. If the image transmission totally loses, the app might ask you whether you would like a No Image Transmission RTH, you can choose yes or no. But if it loses the RC's connection, the drone will automatically return to the home point if GPS signal is available and compass works correctly.

OK thanks as long as it comes back even with strong interference warnings I feel more confident. I have not had any GPS drop outs in over 70 odd flights so far using a xiaomi mi pad 3. The has exceeded my expectations to say the least! Thanks DJI
