Hi All,
New user on this forum. I have been using my Mavic 2 Pro for a while now to do surveying jobs and such, never had any issues. Started doing some jobs with golf courses. Fly last Friday at a golf courses and expereicened the same problem I experienced a month ago when I flew at the same course.
I am using MapPilot to conduct my flights.
The issue:
The drone will be fly perfectly fine and then all of a sudden the controller will vibrate indicating that it has lost connect with the drone. This will occur every so often when flying. A few times it happened when there was a tree in the way which might just mean the signal had issues going by the tree, but when the drone is directly overhead it will do the "lost connection, attempting to reconnect". After about 5 seconds the controller will reconnect with the drone. When the controller looses connection from the drone, the drone will continue to fly to the next waypoint and take photos like it is suppose too.
I am wondering if the lighting detection devises the course has might be causing the interference as this does not happen when flying quarries or corn fields. The lighting detector they us is called the StrikeGuard system.
I do use an iPad mounted onto the top of the controller to fly but I make sure that the antennas are up properly and facing towards the drone. When I tried with my phone attached it gave the same lost connection message.
The area on the course I was flying in was also in a valley, when flying over the driving range I had no issues and the driving range is on the top of the valley.
I hope this makes sense. Any help or comments would be appreciated.
