My Mavic really scared me today. I took of.. Had a low pass under a really low bridge. Since bridge is metal i got compas errors. As I was going back I lost video. Still good signal, but no video. I have had this happen a few times before, and i found out that rebooting the controller does the trick.. So I do that and fly back.. Then I go 400 feet high to take som pictures with drone about 30m in front of me. As I´m taking photos I´m focusing on the Screen but suddenly get a warning saying GPS lost, and ATTI mode. I look up in the sky, and can't see the drone anymore.. Looking back at my screen I try to see if I´m able to se the frozen lake I´m standing at. Then image dissapears again. No line of sight, No GPS, no video feed. I´m hearing the drones buzzing gets weaker and weaker, further and further away, but no sure in which directing.. When I´m about to panic, GPS comes back. I´m able to do a return to home.
Since the video issue is returning, I start to consider it as a problem. Also found out that it helps to just unplug and replug the lightning cable(iPhone 7+)
How can I have 20 satellites, then loose GPS signal, and a few minutes later have 20 satellites again?
Starting not to trust my Mavic. Not a good thing. Here´s a link to log on healthy drones

Images turned out quite nice btw.
