So I don't have a lot of flight time logged in to really know if the wrap is causing issues but I recently put my wrap on and the first and only flight ive had I noticed less sats 10-12 and my video transmission icon has been flickering and that it never did that before the wrap.....but coincidentally I also recently did the dreaded update so I don't know if its the update or wrap, but I started thinking because someone did mention a possible issue regarding the wrap and satellites.
Ohh and by the way ive flown in the same take off and location every time. Any info would be appreciated, leaving for vacation in 5 days so I need to know if I should take it off or leave it.
 
If this wrap has any metal particles in its structure (and who knows how the holo effect is achieved), this surely may affect many signals transmissions - starting from video ending with GPS and compass... If so, you have literally shielded your MP which is not a good thing.
I'm afraid it's only one way to be sure whether it's skin or FW update - remove one of them ;)

Thanks for the response, going to do some testing at a different area today. Probably going to take it off, besides the current possible issues its a pain packing it and worrying about edges getting caught and peeling back. Thanks again.

F.Y.I. To anybody out there that would like the holographic wrap for the remote only, pay for shipping and its yours. I never applied it and have no plans to whether I keep the wrap or not on my mavic.
