New mavic owner in sunny Essex...

[Mack]

Hi folks, just got my new mavic today, I have to say after doing a fair bit of research into buying a drone, I thought this would be the best choice....
Sadly my first experience has been a frustrating one, with constant disconnecting and losing video transmissions.
I'm hoping this is all gonna be easy to fix.
Anyway, enough moaning....greetings all from Essex, U.K.

Welcome....
Firstly ditch the DJI cable that connects your RC to the phone.
Use the USB connection on the bottom of the RC to your phone.
Alwayd Switch on "flight mode" on your phone when flying...
Test this and see if it helps

Welcome to Mavic Pilots!

Thanks everyone, I'll try the USB port,
I'm totally new to drones...so expect some very stupid questions.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Only stupid question is the one not asked.

I find doing a search usually finds the "stupid question" someone else already asked.

Read owners manual 3 times and a lot of questions become knowledge.
