As the 2,4GHz frequency is so massively used in almost everything today it might be the reason. have you checked your surroundings regarding WiFi interference? You can use whatever free phone app for that, just search for "WiFi Analyzer" or something similar. How is this likely to affect actual flight or video feed or range?Ĭlick to expand.Just out of curiosity. However, It seems to revert back to Dual Band on power up.something to add to pre-flight check.ĭoes anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Weather is going to prevent real flight for a couple of days but I'll try flight on forced 5.8 next chance nature provides. Never bothered to unfold the antennas either.This is better connection than I've seen since it was removed from the box 4 days ago.Īs soon as I switched back to Dual or Fixed 2.4, it started showing that same old error Aircraft not connected to RC. I was still able to change video and gimbal settings, zoom, pitch, etc. I was even able to leave the drone indoors while I went outside, putting multiple walls between controller and drone. It maintains connection (indoors at least) without fail. I manually switched the transmission from Dual Band to 5.8 Ghz. I don't know if that was the correct decision.I read somewhere that switching transmission bands might improve the connection problems some of us have experienced.ĭecided to try that before I boxed mine up for return. ![]() I prefered to keep it at it's then lower altitude of 15 to 30 feet and risk it flying into trees. Even though my return to home point was clear of trees above, I was not comfortable to have the drone to raise to the 30 meters RTH height and risk it flying away uncontrollably over traffic or homes. ![]() That 10 minutes is better than the weeks and money I'll be out now. Next time I will abort the flight at first sign of an issue (like a warning message), reset, recalibrate, perform another pre-flight check, etc.I will try to position myself to catch the drone after cutting power in flight to minimize damage.Next time I will pause to better evaluate the situation before taking the drastic measure of cutting power in flight. I acted a bit in haste as I was worried about a runaway drone in a populated area with heavy road traffic just 100 feet away.I thought it was crying wolf (again), but this time it was a real problem. Do not ignore the "Strong Wireless Interference" warning.When the drone was in a safe spot, I cut the power in flight, resulting in a drop from about 15 feet to a hard surface. After about 2 minutes of trying to control it, I gave up. I was very concerned about a runaway drone with traffic and residences nearby. Then it started to take on a mind of its own and became uncontrollable, flying on its own without input from the controller. The controls started to behave erratically - either no response, or opposite response to the control input. I was flying no higher than 30 feet above the ground and was standing only 50 feet away. This location is under a canopy of trees and next to a moderately busy 2 lane road with many residences nearby (about 1/2 acre lots). ![]() I flew at this location before with no issue so I felt all was fine. I received the "Strong wireless interference" message shortly after I took off, then proceeded to check that the controls were responding properly, and continued to shoot a video of a house. I updated the firmware yesterday, and performed my pre-flight check. Please do not dismiss the "Strong wireless interference" warning on your P4 Pro.
