What things/situations/etc. will interfere with the signal between my Mavic Pro and the controller? Thanks.

Attenuators
Trees ( both deciduous and evergreen) and humidity are big attenuators.
Metal building and other structures between you and the Mavic.
Orientation of antennas.

Interferences
Large KP index for geomagnetic storms.
High power lines.
Lightning.
Government signal scramblers
Nuclear Magnetic Pulse

Disrupters
Magnetic anomalies


I’m sure there are tons more.

Check out these videos, being sure to watch them in order.

#1: DJI Mavic - Explaining Compass Errors & GPS Issues - Part 1 Flight Mode Basics

#2: DJI Mavic - Explaining Compass Errors & GPS Issues - Part 2 Compass Error

#3: DJI Mavic - Explaining Compass Errors & GPS Issues - Part 3 GPS

These three videos were incredibly helpful to my understanding of the delicate balance between “magnetic north”, those “Global Positioning Satellites” orbiting the earth, the compass, IMU, and navigation technologies on board my Mavic Pro.

The two attachments might also be helpful relating to signal / connections.
