Here's the flight data. As I mentioned before, it stopped recording to the log when I experienced the connection issue. I've lost video data before, but never experienced this. https://www.phantomhelp.com/logviewer/20250830E9U25JNY9LOSZOXIVHB683SCGEYLHHM7

That's what I'm suspecting as well. May just switch over to the original remote for the time being. The range has always been less than stellar since switching to the Smart Controller, had far better results with the original. But it sure is convenient.

Usually at least 20 feet or so. I did just refresh the firmware on both the drone and the smart controller, calibrated the IMU (one of the values were a little off) and took it for a quick flight with no issues.

It varies really, I do real estate photography but typically within an area of about 50 miles or so.

I’ll give it a shot and see if that helps.

I agree, but nonetheless I get a compass calibration prompt nearly day I fire up the drone. Usually launching from asphalt or dirt. I’ve had the OG Phantom 1 and every Phantom and Mavic Pro up until this 2 Pro and have never experienced this with the other birds. It’s just something I’ve been...

No idea. Never had a hard landing, always carried in a padded GPC case. But it seems like every 1st flight for the past year or so, I get the prompt.

Interestingly enough, I’m having to do a compass calibration before nearly every day before my 1st flight. Hmmm.. Regarding the obstacle avoidance, had to do that a few months ago at the request of a prompt but it hasn’t popped back up again since, but will definitely recalibrate the obstacle...

No, was not on an autonomous mission, fully manual flight. It just completely stopped while in mid flight when it happened. Paused there for at least a 30 seconds before I was able to control it and bring it back in, in the blind without any video feed or telemetry data. Everything seems to...

Hi Folks, Yesterday, I was out shooting some property lots and everything went smoothly during the first flight and battery. However, about halfway through the second flight, my Mavic suddenly lost connection to the Smart Controller. I received a red message in the top left corner saying...

I had C6-7 fused 13 years ago due to trauma and C4-5 completed a year ago due to degeneration in part due to the fusion below. In fact, I was just coming back from my stay at the hospital one year ago today. I felt immediate relief in both cases however was really impressed with how much...

Very true, my bad there. Perhaps what we really need is Remote ID requirements. ;)

Interesting to see more and more Aeroscope deployments popping up. I'm glad they are finally getting the means to track down anyone that is violating airspace when a TFR is actually in place.

Did you complete all the steps in https://iacra.faa.gov and if so, what's it showing as the status?

Not normal in my experience. Mine re-connects to my home WiFi or mobile hotspot without issue.
