I'm losing signal after flying 850m. I am a first time flyer, so I'm not sure if there is something wrong or if it's operator error. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
No, it would not. But, having trees and buildings will. You need to drastically raise altitude to get over this type of interference. Go up to 400ft altitude and if you’re brave enough, go further(but beware it’s illegal so I don’t condone it). I was able to reach a mile by going above 399ft, but you must know this is highly illegal to be going out of line of sight and above 400ft above ground level. So, if you get in trouble, we didn’t tell you to do it!!I've kept it facing towards the drone. I am about 4 miles from a very small airport, if I hit restricted airspace, would that cause it to say "weak signal"?
No doubt...Make sure your drone is set to RTH on signal loss and also check your RTH altitude before venturing out.
Lots of trees, and some buildings, yes. But I am in a very rural town, so I didn't think it would be so restrictive. Great idea though, I may try a range test this evening.
Have you received yours back yet ?Do a screen record then upload to youtube...get on to DJI chat and show them...they will prob ask you to send it in just as they did with mine. Mine had a this
"the Aircraft Core Board Module was damaged,which caused distance of image transmission is short"
I as getting 1200mtr clear LOS overwater and that was all...
good luck
