So, Yesterday I unboxed my Mavic!
Charged batteries, controller and watched a few videos about it.. (Not new to the drone world)..
Took her outside, calibrated Compass, IMU and set GPS..
Powered up the fans and it was like Jesus spoke to me with the sounds she made.. Soooo sweet!
About 4 minutes into flight (At about 300' up) I lost transmission to iPhone!!!! Kept full control of craft, so I brought her down safely.. Reset everything and was about to box it up and send its *** back.. Tried again.. Kept it about 10' up and it did it again.. Down, reset and tried again.. Without a fail it did it, but it took a while and I was able to get some footage to test camera out..
Went inside.. read about this for a bit.. Many suggestions about using a new cable in the USB Port.. Tried it in my kitchen, let it sit for a while and no disconnects... Took it outside and made a test flight.. No disconnects there either..
So, my question to you.. WTF???!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I am using an iPhone 8+ running the latest S/W..
