Frustrated with M2P

I’m wrapping up a trip through the Midwest. I brought my M2P because if it’s portability. I launched and starting getting messages that obstacle avoidance sensors were not working. Several times I got a disconnect. I brought it home and swapped the cord from controller to IPad and it didn’t disconnect as often but still had issues. The GPS tracking map went blank during mid flight. To add to my frustration, while shooting video the gimble starting shaking and ruined the shot. It abruptly stopped 300 feet in the air as if it was about to crash into an obstacle. It was cloudy so not a solar flare! Needless to say I’m disappointed. I’ve been flying DJI drones for about 3 years and I realize they are sometimes as unpredictable as a House cat. Yes they are machines and issues are bound to happen but really DJI, we pay a lot of money for these things and we expect them to perform as they were engineered to do. Before anyone ask, yes it was NOT in Sport mode and sensors were cleaned after 1st flight.

What iPad are you using?
 
Julius: I'm very sorry for your woes with the new bird but, if you upload the log files from one of your problematic flights, the "investigators" here will be able to give you more information about the problem.
