I used to use a Samsung S7 but with a near fly away {maybe because a) the phone was trying to do too much, b) interference from the phone or c) android app vs apple}, decided to switch to an iPad mini with my Pixel 2 phone providing a hotspot. Love this combo. Highly recommended. Good luck! Ajoy

Things are changing even in Iceland and these days, around most falls and glaciers you are strongly advised to get permission from the owner and/or follow posted signs.

I'd simply use LR import function to rename the file with the capture date/time and a serial number. This should eliminate digging through folders. Good luck!

I recently posted about my first and (almost) last flight. I had major issues with signal drops, notification that I am about to enter a NFZ, etc. Then @Jenee suggested that the issue may be related to the Android "trying to do too many things". In my case, I was using my Samsung S7 to fly the...

I think you found the real reason for the abrupt disconnects and other errors. I bet my phone (like most everyone else's) was trying to do 1000 things at the same time (despite being in airplane mode). I am looking into an iPad mini 2 . I'm not a big fan of iOS but that exactly will prevent me...

I thought since I cribbed about (almost) losing my MP on its (almost) maiden voyage, I should at least share the images I got back from that epic trip.

Thanks again! So I guess I should chalk it up for bad luck followed by good luck, and hope that I don't get this weird phenomenon repeating itself. Good point. Next time if I see one, I will wrap up and head back, or pull out my tripod and shoot my regular landscapes! :)

Thanks for the analysis. I do get the "what" happened part. The question I have for you all experts, is "why"? Why did it say there was a disconnect and why of all things it said that the drone was about to fly into a NFZ! So strange. This was one of my first flights so I certainly have no...

Holy cow!! Thanks for the systematic analysis and recommendation. I will set the RTH even higher than before. I thought I had set it up to be higher than the tallest tree on that hill, but obviously that was not enough to prevent interference. However, you are saying that that was possibly...

Here it is again-- 2017-04-15_7-28-49_Standard.zip Hope that this works!

Ah! Let me turn it into a zip file and share it. This way, gdrive is not sharing a spreadsheet. Hopefully, that should work.

Haha! I guess I was just missing him - I had left my Scooby Doo at home! IMG_20170312_110904 by ajoy posted May 1, 2017 at 3:51 PM

So these are what I suspect may have caused my issues-- Google Maps

Weird. I logged OUT and can still access the file. Nevertheless, here is a link to the file in my google drive - 2017-04-15_7-28-49_Standard.csv. Again, thanks for looking into it!

Thanks for the suggestion! I finally connected my phone to HD Sync and uploaded to airdata. Please take a look and let me know what I need to do to keep this from happening - Airdata UAV - Flight Data Analysis for Drones Thank you all in advance!
