    Mavic air 2 lost signal above water and fog

    I didn't leave important information out, i sad i was within 1/4 mile(i didn't attach proof screenshot at the beginning) but you're the one that judged that i had no idea where drone was while i did because I had video stream. I never started RTH, the X i was pushing was for auto landing, as it...

    Mavic air 2 lost signal above water and fog

    Gps does drop even if uncovered, it is rare but it does drop. However that is not the topic. You could've ask nicely how did i know i was within 1/4 mile range, but instead you you accused the operator...world is already full of "know it all fools" don't be one of them. Ask nicely for missing...

I know what gps stands for, even GPS on your cellphone will sometimes loose signal for short periods of times when travelling through remote area, it happened multiple times when I was driving through Canada to get to Alaska using Google maps... I...

    Mavic air 2 lost signal above water and fog

    The path was clear, no hills or any obstruction at all between drone and RC, see photo i attached above in one of my replies, it was a straight flight there and back, almost no turns

    Mavic air 2 lost signal above water and fog

    Maybe, as drone was just out of 1 year warranty so DJI doesn't really care what happened... I was flying the same drone 3 days earlier in different part of Alaska, and still had gps problem, i always blamed it on "remote location" but it could very well be drone hardware. Gps aside, i still...

    Mavic air 2 lost signal above water and fog

    Hello, I knew the risks and what I'm getting into, I've done it before, weather was acceptable to me, drone was insured so I'm getting a new one for free. My confusion is what would make it loose signal to the RC within 500 feet distance after 15 min flight when it was fine a mile away on first...
