I've had my Mavic 2 Pro a few days now, so after a few practice flights at short distance to see how it reacts, felt confident to fly a little further afield. But, I seem to be getting poor range and am not sure exactly why. At about 3,300' away I started losing signal, with a theoretical 20,000+ feet of range, to say I'm a little disappointed is an understatement.
Now, before everyone jumps in and says the range depends on a vast multiple of factors, the reason the range of 3,300' is disappointing is that in the exact same location, with fairly similar weather conditions (weathers typically similar anytime i fly, don't want to risk high winds etc) that my Mavic Air 1, so using wifi, not occusync, will easily make 5,000' before running into issues with the signal. Both flights at the same height of 200' so plenty clear of trees, houses (rural location, not many buildings).
So, going from wifi to occusync i would have expected an improvement, not degradation in the range i could fly.
Maybe I've missed a setting somewhere, I don't believe I have, but who knows. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
