So I finally had a chance to take my mavic out for its maiden voyage jan 15th. temp was a little chilly, couple degrees below freezing however i kept it inside until right before flight. I am using the Samsung S7edge. First try, motors started and idled but then got a battery error and a no connection error. I traded batteries, which the spares were inside and warm. That flight seemed good, no issues... about 15-20 mins just low level flight getting a feel for the controller etc.... my hands were getting cold so I went in to warm up.. about 15 mins later I switched to my third battery and went outside to go again... got another battery error, then all seemed ok.. fly up for a few mins... then battery error then no connection error.. then mavic did a RTH automatically and hovered a few feet off the ground.. I manually was able to land it... yellow tail light was flashing. I am new to this an this scared me a bit but I need to figure out if its my error or something else.
Yes i do wait for good satellite connection and ready to fly before takeoff.
I can see the RC and the mavic have the same firmware version 3.1.1 however the battery firmware doesn't show up at least that I can find.
The DJI app doesn't auto load an update for the batteries as some have mentioned they need to be matched as well, and I don't know how to manually do an update for the batteries.
I want to try flying in airplane mode as I read that can be an issue.. it is dark weeknights by the time I get home this time of year (although the days are starting to get longer) so I may not get a chance until the weekend.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
