Guys

Could anyone take a look at the logs which I posted in this thread.

remote connection lost

I bought a used mavic pro last week. I've hoverd it about my back garden, but no more than a few feet away. Out flying in the open today, in beginner mode, and after about 15 minutes of flying, I lost control of the drone. A message on the Go4 app said 'remote connection lost' The mavic then...

mavicpilots.com

Maybe help me understand what happened.

Thanks

I’ve had the same thing happen a few times with screen going blank.
After 10 seconds of screen loss the RH should be initiated and screen should reappear.
Don’t panic, just means that you went out of control distance.
Hint: keep antennas up an pointed towards drone.
Have fun captain ?

I've since learned that the antennas ought to be at 45 degrees. I've been out again today (until the rains came), and had no issues.

The antennas should be orientated so that they are parallel with each other and so that flat faces are pointing towards the drone.
So with the drone vertically overhead the antennas should be horizontal, with the drone at distance the antennas should be vertical.
