Yes did al that several times no luck changed frequencies etc now stuck with the leftovers, controller batteries etc I won’t even think of buying another one as the same could happen just feel ripped off
you have overlooked the demise "enhanced wifi" with variation fine-tune freq intended purposefully overcoming urbanization interferes (infrastruct&radiation)A few people posting online about a problem with unverifiable experience, methods, etc. is not evidence of a "known debilitating issue". Add to that the fact that people are exponentially more likely to post about problems than if they have a successful flight. A "known debilitating issue" would be, for example, something DJI might issue a service advisory about. Also of the several firmware updates DJI has released, this is not something they have had to address. Can you link me to a single objective, controlled test from a reputable source that clearly demonstrates some sort of widespread, debilitating, range issue? I have searched and I cannot find a single one.
I did not say anything at all to take anything away from people who have experienced a legitimate issue - there will always be some, usually an extreme minority, and that is what warranty is for. To claim something is a "known debilitating" issue demands a much higher burden of proof, certainly a lot more than the 5 people you are referencing against the thousands or millions of Mavic Air's sold. Almost every single range complaint I have read about involving the MA has been from the user being in CE mode (you can use FCC anywhere as per my previous post), or not orienting the antennae properly (45 degrees or flat sides facing the drone, and parallel). Every drone can run into problems in areas of extremely high interference, even the Mavic 2 Pro. Generally it is not a big deal though.
FCC mode is very easy to enable for Apple users - a simple search will provide you with the infoYou're lucky to get 100-200M out of CE mode, I don't think many people actually use it. I wouldn't own a drone if that was the max range, but that is just me.
The transmission is between the RC and the AC, an app just shows the telemetry data and video feed from RC and sends commands the controller. An app communicates with MA only when WiFi control is used.
The GPS floater app itself does not increase the range; but it will trigger the RC to switch from the less powerful CE to the more powerful FCC mode of transmission, thereby increasing your range***.
By default the signal is 2.4GHz check your settings & then look for a 5.8 that's not busy & stable & select it.
Try the FCC Mode hack, this will greatly increase your range. Search this forum for FCC mod
Ok ism going to try it but when i was at the local hak mans place the otherday he said he just did it to an air and didnt make any difference ill try it and report back
It worked in fcc mode got 1100 meters very happy with that so just proves there useless if not in fcc mode anyway the enjoyment level and quality of clips much improved doing surf work over water alot so its great
Why are dji selling it to people that have to use ce mode if they know the thing only goes 300 meters? I would call that a debilitating issue when you pay 1500$ for something that can barely make it around the clothesline sounds like you need a report from cambridge to make it sink in 300 meters is 300 metersA few people posting online about a problem with unverifiable experience, methods, etc. is not evidence of a "known debilitating issue".
