    MavicPro disconnected mid flight for the first time ever (any wisdom as to why?)

    I also have had this happen numerous times in varied situations, last was on an open beach far away from any people/buildings/etc but lost controller signal 10m away from me while it was about 5 seconds into a Helix shot. This resulted in drone stopping shortly after and went into RTH mode...

    Controller losing connection

    Here's the screenshots. 1 I find totally weird is 'G' when drone was about 6m away and 6m up....notification for extended flight distance detected and maintain VLOS at 11secs.....how?!

    Controller losing connection

    Interesting to know! Yeah I know it would be a good way to try isolate the controller. I have had the odd connection loss before, it was just 3 times on the bounce this occurred! Tbh the drone doesn't get used all that often, so can't see any cables been damaged from open/closing, can see how...

    Controller losing connection

    Would a matt finish suit better then? I just wanted some external protection on it.

    Controller losing connection

    I don't know anyone local that has 1 to try sadly. Mmmm it does have a shimmer type film on it though and it was quite a sunny day also, could that make things worse? Will try dig a pic out of skin

    Controller losing connection

    Hi, my MP seems to be losing the connection to controller sporadically. I've had it at home a couple of times when I've been testing different camera settings etc and thought maybe just local interference, but it did it 3 times on location yesterday in quite quick succession. I was on Robin...

    Genuine props

    Hi, my MP briefly lost controller signal in garden today causing a slight drift due to wind while reconnecting and clipped a bush. After landing and inspection 1 set of props has slight spilt and 1 badly marked, which I obviously won't use again! Now I have a new complete set of genuine props...

    Drone problem

    I find this situation is the same as my mountain bikes, so the correct formula is N+1. N been the current number of items you own already ? Guilt free ?

    UK CAA Registration and Labelling

    Clearly needs to be external...."visible without needing a special tool to remove or open part of your aircraft". I would say that removing the battery isn't valid then!

    Flying indoors

    I've flown inside a barn conversion of a wedding venue after I fitted all the flooring there. Started outside but couldn't get it to fly through the patio doors....proximity sensors....after a quick land and switch off of sensors i was able to try again. This time in through the patio doors...
