Mavic Air interference when flying near other MAs

[AussieDrone]

Folks,

Just had some interesting experience when I was flying my MA with my bro (and his MA). What we noticed is when we are both controlling our drones a few feet apart (we were about 30 feet apart) we get signal lost message on the controller... (this is when the drone is only 200ms away). Few points to note,

1. Both MA's running on lates 0.500 FW
2. Default channel @ 2.4 GHz
3. This was in a park, however near power lines and houses 300-500m away..
4. 50m altitude at the tops

What I have not done is send the drone away myself and see what interference I get ..

Have you guys had any experiences like this?

I will say from experience that the mavic air is not very resistant to interference. I have this sort of issue all the time. I was in fact out yesterday in the middle of a forest where we landed by helicopter to get to. No roads. No people. And the Mavic Pro and mavic air interfered with each other when standing close.

Even then the mavic air signal is reduced when the other transmitter is far away. The Mavic Pro however has no issues with interference.

There was no power lines or anything else to Interfere.
