Loss of signal

Misand · Oct 5, 2019

Hi folks,
Beeing the lucky owner of a MA go 6 months, I now experienced 3 times in a row, loss of videosignal, even at very short range(20mt.). No obstacles and no other interferences.
Anyone having similar problems?

Recently I have also experienced an unusual amount of signal loss during flights and at unexpected distances. I'm going to mess around with the wifi channel selection and see if that improves things.

Turn your phone wifi off. It may help.

All you need is to get / use the connection cable from device to controller, the WIFI connection controller to the Air should still be all business as usual.

Does that also mean, that when I use IpadMini, I should turn that of as well. And only use wired connection between controller and Ipad?

If you turn off wifi on the iPda, you will HAVE to use the connection cable . . . is it micro usb to lightning for the Air ?
I'm not sure about Air controller port.

I'm about to order 2 of each of these from Thors Drone World . . . I miss my first one which was damaged when I caught it in a car door accidentally, getting spares too.
The spiral cord is great, so to the right angle into the ipad port is much more out of the way than one that plugs in at 90 degrees.
They aren't cheap, but are good.

The USB 2.0 - lightning for the Mavic Pro, and micro USB - lightning for the Spark . . .

With the Air you have to use a cable to connect the phone/tablet to the RC, wifi is not an option.

Good to know, never had noticed the BIL setting up with cable . . . mind you I'm usually busy with my own gear.
Thought it was same as my Spark is set up.

Part of the confusion is that the Air uses WiFi protocols between AC and RC, rather than Occusync or Lightbridge.

Since the last update of Dji Go 4 (... 0510), signal losses, even at close range ... are a clamor in the network ...
Especially Mavic users (I pilot an M2P). Both on Facebook, YouTube, etc ... has been commenting since the date of departure of the update, by those of us who have made "guinea pig" (try without knowing what there is) ...
Do you have a solution? Yes
In Spain, Europe and some other countries (it is completely legal) ...
It has been offered by HATTU:
Minute 9:15 (you can use the translator)
Everything is based on changing the transmission frequency to 5.8 Ghz ..
And yes ... in this also DJI has covered Gloria ... Anyway.

Search on Amazon.
Works great between my MA RC and iPad mini 4.
Uses MA RC USB port instead of RC mini side port.
Be sure to set iPad in Airplane mode.
