    Air 2s, too "Satellite hungry"?

    It's got nothing to do with 10 versus 7 or 8 satellite. It It has nothing to do with 10 versus 7 or 8 satellites. It has got something to do with how long it takes to get a gps lock where you can fly safely. True, my Mavic Pro will get a gps lock with 9 satellites, but that is not what we...

    Air 2s, too "Satellite hungry"?

    After about 4 minutes, mine stays locked and if I land and fly within 15 minutes of the first flight, it immediately gets a gps lock and never loses it. It’s only the initial cold start. It definitely takes a lot longer than my other drones. I’ve gotten where I just sit for about 4 minutes...

    Air 2s, too "Satellite hungry"?

    I've read this entire thread several times. It is not about how the gps system works. It is about how long it takes the Air 2s to get a gps lock so you're able to fly. I did a test with my drones at the same location and time and a cold start. My Mavic Pro took 45 seconds to get a gps lock from...

    Air 2s, too "Satellite hungry"?

    Maybe others who have noticed this about the Air 2s will speak up. My Air 2 would acquire the satellites and lock usually before I could turn around from turning it on to sitting down. I hope this is just “normal “ for the Air 2s and not a problem. Have a great day!

    Air 2s, too "Satellite hungry"?

    All I’m saying is on the initial or first flight of the day, you waste about four minutes of flight time waiting to get a stable gps lock. It drops in and out several times before it becomes stable. The other drones I have take a minute or less to get a stable lock and they keep it. This might...

    Air 2s, too "Satellite hungry"?

    On my Mavic Pro and Mini 2, once’s they get a lock, they keep it. On the Air 2s once it gets a lock, it will drop and re-acquire it several times before it becomes steady. It takes a lot longer than normal comparing it to my Mavic Pro, Mavic Mini, Mini 2, Mavic Air 2. Even the Air 2 acquired...

    Air 2s, too "Satellite hungry"?

    I don’t think that is what he is talking about. I also have an Air 2s. When I first start to fly the first time in the day, it takes several minutes to get a gps lock and it takes about 12 to 14 satellites to get that lock. It is very unstable for several minutes and drops the lock even with...
