Hi everyone,
I just had a scary moment (and my wife next to me even more).
I was flying my mini 2, just training fly-by's and circles, distance about 300m, when suddenly I got a grey screen with the message "connection lost with the mobile device".
This was the first time this happened, so I thought it meant the connection with the drone was lost (my mistake).
After unsuccessfully turning the RC trying to re-establish connection, I clicked the RTH button on de RC and to my relief the drone obediently came back until it hovered right in front of me (no landing).
At that moment the screen was still grey, which made me think "why isn't it reconnecting, it's right here?"
I decided to restart the RC and lo and behold, a few seconds later the screen came back to life.
Since I still had 63% battery left, I went up again and had 5 more minutes of fun flying around.
It was only when I finally landed and started packing up, that I realized the real meaning of the warning message: the connection between the RC and my phone was gone. It now made sense that it didn't reconnect when the drone came back, but did so when I restarted the RC.
My question: what reasons are there for this to happen?
It's the original cable (USB-C), no visible damage. I did not replug the cable when restarting the RC.
Any insight into this matter is highly appreciated.
