Sorry I guess this has be asked a million times but today I sent up my mini 2 got to about 150ft and the picture on my iPhone started to pixelate and freeze , then I got the message , rc signal weak adjust antenna. Good weather conditions it was in my garden , never had this before ever , sent it up twice after and had the same result, any suggestions please .
Weak RC signal Adjust Antenna?

If you're flying with the controller pointing at the drone then it sounds like you are possibly experiencing considerable interference from an electrical device, possibly wi-fi in the immediate vicinity. Are you flying with controller close to anything that might cause this?
Get an Alientech signal booster then you can forget problems with signal strength, range etc.
Today I took my drone to some open ground for another test, it was a bit better signal strength was strong to start with , then it dropped to moderate and then to weak when the drone got about 400 yards away and a height of 250ft . So I returned the drone worried I would lose signal. This can’t be normal surely ?

No I mean the RC strength, I always have a good amount of satellites , it's the signal from the handset to the drone that seems weak ?

Flats of the controller antenna facing to the drone ??

Occusync @ SHOULD be very good signal, not much can really affect it at such close range.
Maybe a flight log might reveal something ?
Any of the flight log people see this ?
Otherwise might tag one.

Get your device (phone, ipad etc) and obtain your txt file for the flight.

It'll be interesting to see if anything can be picked up on what's happening.

Whoa, thanks for correcting me, I was going on the older style controller with antenna arms !
That's an interesting design and the antenna, so with a drone more overhead I imagine if not holding it perpendicular there wouldn't be too many problems with weak signal to the usual 400' / 120m ??
Usually antenna direction on the older controllers isn't too much of an issue when flying within say 500m, I don't particularly try and keep it facing with occusync.
