Multiple disconnects in flight while close by

[LbinNC]

Hi all,

I was flying during our community 4th celebrations and the Mini kept disconnecting and telling me it would return to the home point.

it was very close 20yrs away and maybe 30ft up as I was videoing a golf cart parade.

I think it was due to all the cellphones probably with Wifi on as I just did a test flight and was able to go 100ft up and away with zero issues.

Basically the crowd was on the side of a hill by our golf course..

A Mavic Air seemed to have no problem a neighbor was flying.

Do you think my hypothsis is correct, it would be good to know for the future.

thanks
lou

Did you have the frequency set to "auto"

yeah, never changed default

 

[lannes]

yeah, never changed default

In the latest version of DJI Fly v1.1.5 it actually defaults to “manual”, which isn’t logical

Hmm.. just check, yup on manual. That would have been good to know
