Mavic Pro v1 Problem

[GregS]

I might be one of the few still flying a Mavic Pro v1. Love this bird. Fly it more than my P4P. Yesterday while flying I got a 'remote disconnet'warning. First time for this. Had absolutely no control of the drone. It was not that far away with direct view. I finally pressed the Return Home Button. Waited....then saw it overhead and decending.
After viewing the video, noticed it just keep flying in the direction it was going when I lost connection.
Replaced the battery and it flew okay.
It was pretty scary. Thought I was going to loose it since I was almost100 feet over water.
Has anyone had this problem?

Actually, my uncle uses an old Mavic Pro for drone fishing. He gets the same problem- remote disconnected warning. he fixes it by changing from running the drone on dual- band frequency to 5.8 ghz. That seems to solve it.
Hope that helps!

Wow, thanks Daniel. Will check on that. Never thought that would have an effect.
