Less than a mile away and while returning to my Home Point at a 2,800 ft away I started to experience Occusync breakup. The video on screen was stalling and delayed. It was well behind the drones actual location. Fortunately, I was pointed in the direction of Home Point already, when I check the map it was constantly changing the direction of the red Return to Home line to a location that was 45° to the south and then would correct to the correct direction. The drones direction indicator remained constant. I was able to stay on course and fly back to my location. When I started my mile jaunt to my Home Point I had 25% battery more than enough to cover that distance and my signal was full bars. I checked the lighting port on my iPhone and it was clear of debris and making a good connection. The video remained grossly out of sync and delayed until I landed. Then it reconnect to a realtime view.
I used AirData.com to check the signal strength which was good for the entire flight which was not the case. As I had several weak signal warnings earlier in the flight in another area.
Anyone else had an experience like this before? I had cancelled the auto return and would have lost my drone had I not already been on course.
Given the two other erratic behaving Mavic Mini post today is there a possibility it could be GPS signal related or atmospheric?
