Lost Connection

[MikeScarn]

I've been flying my mavic 2 zoom for about two months now. I have never lost connection until today. I was about twenty feet in the air, and the flight had been fine for the first ten minutes. Then, I received an alert telling me to adjust the antennas and how I had poor connection. The drone then immediately disconnected, and landed, narrowly missing a bystander's head. I was in a yard with metal shipping containers around me, so maybe this was the cause. If any know or has similar experiences, please tell.

Yep that’ll do it. Especially 5.8 GHz is prone to “reflections” where it’s own signal is actually interfering with its self.
