In actual fact I don't think the signal strength indicated relates to the controller signal strength. It probably relates to the video/telemetry feed strength.

I wonder if the signal loss is being caused by spikes of interference at 5.8Ghz. The signal map on airdata is generated by sampling signal quality at 30 second intervals. Perhaps the interference just doesn't show on the map because the sampling interval is too coarse but when it happens it...

Reading the thread that @RodPad linked to, I came across the Airdata app. I uploaded some logs to it which show something pretty weird. This picture shows signal strength. You'll notice it's green (indicating good signal) throughout the flight. This picture shows notifications. They shows...

Thanks Rod, I'll check it all out. :-)

Hi Rod, it's the 5.8GHz remote control signal. The drone initiates RTH.

Check out this review of the doco Britain’s Next Air Disaster? Drones review – the threat is terrifyingly real Sensationally named 'Britain's Next Air Disaster', it's a BBC documentary which paints a very one sided picture of drone use. It focuses on the danger to air traffic, the use of drones...

I've checked and I'm definitely not flying in beginner mode or with a range limitation in place. I'm getting out of signal messages on the app, and when you fly in beginner mode you don't see these when you hit the distance limiter. I thought about investing in the argtek, but I have seen some...

Thank you for the warm welcome all. ? I did try re-syncing/re-linking the controller but this hasn't made a difference. I'll try find another place to fly and see if I get similar results.

Hi all, I recently acquired a second hand DJI Phantom 3 Standard. I've taken it out on 't back field as you do, and had a bit of fun flying it around and capturing some video and pictures (after first reading the CAA 'Drone Code' of course). I've noticed that I can't fly more than around...
