Connection Lost

I’ve had this issue now every time on the same mission and I’m wondering would the connection be lost due to the altitude not being high enough. If I fly the mission form my home to the location, which is a stone’s throw from my house, and the drone proceeds to fly around the perimeter then it loses connection when it reaches the opposite side. And if I drive round to the opposite side and fly the mission from there the gimbal goes nuts when it reaches the opposite side again. My flight altitude is 140ft and when starting the mission from home it is down hill so I’m wondering would the houses between myself and the location be blocking the connection? I know it shouldn’t as it’s down hill and they are lower but I’ve also noticed the 140ft Altitude I set is being ignored by Litchi and drops frequently. If that’s the case would raising the altitude help. It still doesn’t explain the crazy gimbal issue when I fly from the other side, which I might add does not happen if I fly from that problem area.

Still have to try this with the DJI Way Point feature to see if it repeats.

The answer will depend on what model DJI drone you are flying, whether or not you have direct line of sight between the controller and the drone, and the distance between the controller and the drone. There could be other issues that would affect your flight such as interference but the top 3 are type of drone, line of sight, and distance.

If you are flying a drone that uses “virtual stick” mode to fly waypoints and your signal is interrupted due to obstacles or distance, that would explain the behavior you describe.

Can you elaborate re: what is meant by “the gimbal goes nuts”?

Everything calibrated recently?

It loses focus on the POI and starts scanning every where but the POI and always on the same corner of the site. But if I fly from that problem side it does not happen.

I have the same issue. Do you still need DJI app? I uninstalled it as it won’t work with my mini 2. I have a pixel 7. I honestly can’t trust it as I think it will stop connecting, lucky go home worked!
Any settings, work arounds? $40 app is useless so far!

What $40 app are you talking about.

The Litchi app is $40 with tax CAN to buy. I’m just wondering if anyone has a fix for the connectivity issues while flying. The DJI app stopped working on my pixel 7 after the last update. So I bought this app but it losses connection sporadically.

NO app has ANY influence on the wireless connection between the drone and the controller, only environmental circumstances.

Reasons why you still need the DJI app:

Here you can download older versions of the DJI Fly app:

Thanks. I’ll try an older version. I really do like the features of this app though and would like to make the switch!

Try most of them and still nothing. It must be the Android software update on my Pixel 7. Thanks.
