Hello!
I´ve flown my P3 Adv for less than 3 hours total.
On my recent flights I cant get more than 50-70 meters away before I get "Weak Remote Controller Signal" and loose contact between the Phantom and the remote.
I have never had any kind of hard landing, always landed on firm ground in full control.
The drone has always flown in excellent weater, barely any wind, and ofcourse no rain or mist.
I´ve followed the tutorials for wireless range, with the antennas pointing paralell to eachother, and tried to aim the flat/long side against the Phantom, rather than pointing the antennatips against it. I always fly in a open area, nothing to block or interfere the signals.
Have tried different mobile units, with same result.
I really hope someone can help me, as i enjoied this product very much when it worked properly.

I have run the 1.9.60.bin-file on both Phantom and remote, and gotten the textfile back telling me the version on the sd-card is same or older than the one on the remote/drone.
App Version 2.8.4 (also tested on 2.8.3)
Aircraft Version 1.9.60
Remote Controller Version 1.6.0 (should this be same as aircraft?)

I had the exact same problem, only with the P3S. I brought it back to the shop, they said it was faulty and send it back to DJI, about to receive another P3S

Hello mads.karlsen90-, did you keep any screenshots of the image transmission quality at that time? Have you tried to relink the RC and drone?

A lot of people are having this problem since last update, try doing a a compass and IMU set up away from any RF signals and also turn off geo see if that cures the problem

It seems not normal since the interference detected was not strong but the RC signal was weak in such a short distance.If you has adjusted the RC and antenna but no luck, I'd suggest you to contact our Europe service center and send the drone and RC there for diagnosis.

mate, I've have the same problem in Sydney Australia, tried different locations couldn't get passed 600m,
Then i tried a home made antenna deflector ( half a shampoo bottle and foil) and now i get 1500 meters.
Better but still nowhere near 5000meters that it suppose to make.
hope it helps
