    Controller / Aircraft won't link in one neighborhood, but will 1/2 mile away - suggestions?

    I am seriously considering getting the smart controller to just bypass all of these shenanigans with connecting a phone, cables, etc. Sounds like you didn't lose your drone @granny bren so that is good!

    Thank you @Thomas B - I have one other "issue" that maybe someone else has a suggestion on. I am using my phone's native usb-c cable and the port is on the bottom - so when I am flying the cord protrudes out the side, and I have to have it in between my fingers somewhat on the side of the...

    So, after lots of testing, it came down to the USB-c cable. The one that came with the Mavic does not seem to work well in all areas. I used my Phone's native USB-c cable and it worked fine. The GPS signal in the area is 4 bars, and 18, so that was not the issue. I have an LG Thin-Q...

    Great Reply @MAvic_South_Oz - yes, it does not seem to make any sense, since it is the connection between the AC and RC. I will look for that switch on the side. I go through the startup process exactly as they lay out in all of the tutorials, so the sequence is right. I am going back to...

    Here is the official reply from DJI Dear David, Thank you for contacting DJI Technical Support. According to your concern, please note that the environment and surrounds should be considered. Besides you also need double check the GPS signal condition before takeoff. The satellite signal...

    Controller / Aircraft won't link in one neighborhood, but will 1/2 mile away - suggestions?

    It is kind of a bummer - esp when you do real estate photography to not be able to fly. I had an Autel Robotics for 3 years and never had this issue. The Mavic 2 is far superior in every other way, but this..hmmmm. Hopefully the neighborhood I was in was a rarity but I will probably have to...

    I'd love to find a workaround - it's hard to explain to a client when you show up to get aerial photos that you can't get your drone off the ground ..a brand new drone at that. Anyone have this happen before? Does it have something to do with GPS Mode?

    I just got my Mavic 2 pro, and I have taken it out on a few jobs. Today, I went to a neighborhood and I could not get the RC connected with the AC. In this area, cell reception is very poor - could that have something to do with it? What is a workaround? Again, in a specific...
