    Mini 2 and RC-N1 Failing at the Same Time?

    Hello Comrades, Questions: 1. How likely is the circuit board module of a Mini 2 and the core board module of an RC-N1 malfunctioning at the same time? 2. Has anyone ever had their RC-N1 core board module fail? I ask because DJI Repair is indicating they did. On 12.31.23 the controller...

    Mini 2 Mammoth Rubbing Rocks

    Greetings Comrades, This footage was taken during a walk along a California Pacific coast trail near where I live. I’ve been here several times, mainly because its simply beautiful, but the added prehistoric artifacts are intriguing and stimulating. This walk in particular was meant to be an...

    RC-N1 losing connection with Mini 2

    Hello @0Kajuna0. I have not conversed directly with DJI yet. I did read some where, either here or at the official DJI Forum that many people are experiencing this with the Mini 2, and the phrase I recall (sorry, I don't remember precisely where) that the 5.8 MHz "chip" is failing. @Felix le...

    RC-N1 losing connection with Mini 2

    Very good! I'm very interested in how quickly the replacement arrives. For my own information, I could not find info on a "Premium Care" plan you just stated. You did mention in your initial/previous reply that you have "Care Refresh". Is that what you are talking about? Thank you. Incidently...

    RC-N1 losing connection with Mini 2

    Howdy FlyinBrian92, To answer your question...nope. I haven't sent it in yet. I decided to enjoy the drone with the transmission work-around for a bit first. My 2 year Care Refresh extended warranty is good into September 2024. Longish story: As mentioned in my initial post, this Mini 2 was a...

    RC-N1 losing connection with Mini 2

    Hi Moozer. Thanks very much for the offer, however, I've nailed down what my issue is. The 5.8 GHz chip is malfunctioning. The work-around is to set my transmission settings to manual and then pick the 2.4 GHz and I'm good to go with with a strong and stable connection. Fwiw, since I have an...

    Mavic 2 Zoom loses Connection after 20m

    A shout out to @Felix le Chat for suggesting the frequency transmission test in another thread discussing the puzzle of my issue. The no-lift-off is my addition/refinement of the test procedure.

    Mavic 2 Zoom loses Connection after 20m

    Hello Kraken, I may have an idea, based on a current issue with my Mini 2. (2) Questions: 1. Are you able to regain connection and land each time? 2. Does it start out with a 5-bars strong signal and then, at about the same distance each time, you can see the signal bars start deteriorating and...

    RC-N1 losing connection with Mini 2

    An update, fwiw. Felix le Chat suggested testing the stability of the 2 transmission frequencies. Below is a transcript of the process and the results. The drone's transmission has always been set at dual, figuring the software will be able to pick the most appropriate frequency. The Test...

    Thanks Felix le Chat, very much for your input. Well!...very interesting...this should be valuable in the troubleshooting process with DJI. The drone has always been set at dual, figuring the software will be able to pick the most appropriate frequency. The Test: Its raining so I'm in my...

    RC-N1 losing connection with Mini 2

    Without researching yet, I wonder if there would be an issue with trying to fly my drone with someone else's RC as well as trying to fly someone else's drone with my RC. Its a wonder.

    RC-N1 losing connection with Mini 2

    Thanks Capt. I'm communicating with DJI right now troubleshooting, but I may get to the borrowing. I think there may be a forum member or 2 nearish to me, and reach out. Antenna fault: Yah. There has been no mishap. The RC and drone have been in their caring case and have not been subject to...

    RC-N1 losing connection with Mini 2

    Hello again. I finally had an opportunity to confirm whether or not I have a connection issue, a coupla days ago. Yes, I do still have the issue, and apparently it does not involve the the data cable between the RC and the phone/tablet. The problem is inconclusive at this point. Thanks very much...
