Still waiting on the weather to improve here.
Glad to hear of your success krakatoa56.
I will try both, resetting and reinstalling, the first opportunity I get.
I've tried both suggested solutions here, but I'm still losing wifi video link at too short a distance.
Only managed two flights since my last post; just before the snow came, a cold saturday morning this weekend, and then this morning.
On saturday, at the first take off point I tried, the Phantom was not happy. DJI GO app complained there was too much interference; maybe 20m was too close to the metal fence?
I moved further infield and that stopped. I was still using the same Samsung device, but I reset the wifi to default while waiting for aircraft to warm up.
The aircraft got no more than 43m up before the signal was lost. There is no weakening signal, just drops. I have to reduce altitude to regain video.
Was in the air for about 10mins, trying different antenna angles and phone locations, but still limited range. Did get some nice footage still.
This morning, after spending the weekend adding a neck strap to a Hudl2 case, I tried again. I chose a take off point even further infield than previously.
There are two other fields I would much rather have used, but unfortunately one is like a bog under the grass and the other is more like a lake at the moment.
I did have more success though, got over 80m altitude before the connection loss. Again, no signal weakening, it just drops suddenly.
Still, I would expect the range to be a lot better than that, i.e. more akin to the range I paid for.
I did put together one of those windsurfer contraptions, but I've not tried with that yet - I shouldn't really have to.
Could I have a faulty RC? or faulty antenna or fault of any kind? How might I diagnose this?
Is it just a case of interference from wifi signals bordering the park?
Also, there is at least one mobile phone mast on the far border of the field I am using, could that be to blame?
