Just a final update from me, got it back last week with the controller swapped out and everything works as it should. I actually got my longest fight ever out of my back yard at about 900 meters. My best guess is when doing the firmware upgrade there is a tendency to glitch and the controller...

I sorry, my app kept crashing whenever I opened it so I never got notifications to responses. Latest update on the phantom pilots app seems to have fixed that. Anyways. Sent it back again the 2nd time asking for a brand new unit. All o got was an email saying it was repaired and shipped out...

Well I called dji again, told them the whole story. I had to send them side by side photos of flight logs from back in April next to one recently at the same location and same direction showing them that the signal drops and RTH kicks in at less than half the distance I got in April. They said...

Mine is currently at DJI for repair (after a 2 1/2 week ordeal with customer support, freaking terrible response times). Seems like this is the only solution.

Also couldn't help but thinking today while trying to film the windmills what it would be like if I was getting paid to film things like that and my equipment failed me so badly. I would be wicked pissed about not being able to complete a job and losing a client. Not good. Luckily for me it's...

Tried to film Some wind turbines while away at cape cod today. They were only 200 m away and I couldn't get anywhere near them. I was getting so frustrated. Contacted DJI about 5 days ago and after they suggested the obvious they told me I would have to send it in for repair once I got home...

For what its worth I tried a few things in the app today. I turned off hardware decoding and cleared the flight path and caches and i got out to 475m .... not sure if those changes had anything to do with it, but earlier today I was in the 300 m range again. Still on FW 1.5.7 and App 2.7.1

yes my issues are ONLY with RC signal, video & telemetry are always present with good signal strength, only Radio Control signal is what I'm having issues with

my family and I will be headed to cape cod july 9th for 2 weeks. :D

Ok, this was the best flight so far (since issues started, still not like it was in its prime however) was getting between 375 and 450m with FW 1.5.7 on App V 2.7.1 (the version before the redesigned camera mode). got it there in baby steps though, letting it settle every time the signal started...

Narrowed down some dates (thank you Facebook posts) and what versions of things I SHOULD have been on if everything was current during the flights: April 15th Packaged delivered, updated firmware out of the box and downloaded DJI Go for the first time - FW 1.5.7 GoV 2.72 April 18th tested how...

For comparison when I first got my P3S, I was getting 750 m from this location in both directions... just have no idea what versions of FW and Go I was using...

Summery of combinations thus far: FW App V Result -------------------------------------- 1.6.8 2.8.3 100 m 1.5.7 2.8.3 100 m 1.6.8 2.8.0 100 m with video lag 1.5.7 2.8.0 same 1.6.8 2.8.1 300 m with video lag 1.5.7 2.8.1 275 m with video...

Tried FW 1.5.7 on GoV 2.7.2 with mixed results. 200 meters one direction (back yard test) before RTH... tried a different direction, was about to drop at 200 but regained full signal again got out to 350 before RTH. Next combination will be FW 1.5.7 on GoV 2.7.1 (fingers crossed as this is the...

Sounds like we have another one... [emoji853] Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app
