Air 3S: Enhanced Transmission with 4G

[WanderLost]

does i can use only 4G signal and disconect from dji wifi mode? as flying near ground at longer distance wifi signal lost. also if i fly in both modes at low ground and lost wifi signal,how fast drone switches to 4G signal and what it doing in moment switching if i fly fast near ground ? drone stops or just ascent to high rth altitude?

I've never used it so I can't comment on how it will work in those situations. Hopefully, someone here with experience can chime in and help you out.

You cannot turn of the RC Wi-Fi connection to the drone and only have 4G (Enhanced transmission) enabled. The 4G is a failure over signal that if the Wi-Fi connection drops out then the 4G kicks in. Once Wi-Fi reconnects the 4G goes on Standby. 4G Connection, when enabled is always on and on standby to take over signal. The switch over from Wi-Fi to 4G is almost instantaneous on loss of RC Signal to the drone. If you want to fly low to the ground and lose RC Connection, don't worry because the 4G will kick in BUT ensure your 4G signal connection is strong in the area you are flying. Test the connection on your cellphone before relying on the Enhanced 4G to work 100%.

i would like fly near ground in forests,where RC signal works only if fly in high altitute,but 4G signal is perfect in all forest roads,except low ground near river. Also does drone returns to home point if lost 4G signal and dont has RC signal? i have both 3s and mini4pro. think 3s no need gps to return home,but m4p no returns?

Yes, If the 4G drops connection then the drone will RTH just like when the RC drops connection. It works the same as RC signal to the drone

does there is one disadvantage,-you need a nanoSIM card with subscription and DJI's service is chargeable after one year? how much they takes money ?

Yes, you need to have a nano sim inserted and need 4G subscription services activated. Dji gives you 1 year free subscription services and thereafter you have to pay.
