Hey pilots! I've got a problem with my DJI Phantom 3 Standard. Prepare for a story:
So, I got my P3S about 6 months ago. I flew prettig good, because I had flown other drones before. I was really proud of it! I took it on vacantion with me during the summer holidays and it worked perfect, took some amazing pictures! I returned it home with me but because I just didn't have enough time I could't try to fly with it until 2 days ago. I decided to buy the Litchi app from the Google Play Store (I use a Sony Xperia XA) because I saw some review on YouTube and it looked really good. I tried the app and some features in an open area without any other Wi-Fi signal around. It functioned fine, but I did experience that I lost range after 300ft and it did a RTH. I did not pay much attention to it, maybe I should have done that. When I came back home, I decided to make a Waypoint mission on my laptop. Actually, I made two. One smaller loop to test the function and a bigger one around my neighboorhood with some POI's and such things. I wanten to test the smaller one first and if it worked, the bigger one later. Started up my drone normally and I had to restart it again because both DJI GO and Litchi didnt show an FPV image. I flew up to 300ft to start the mission but at 90ft, I lost connection with my remote controller and it performed a RTH. I tried it both with the DJI GO app and Litchi and it both did the exact same. Also, when I regained control I could not cancel the RTH. The pop-up screen would show and I click "okay", but the drone didnt do anything exept keep descending. Really annoying!
I hope someone can help me with this problem, I just can't seem fly over the 90-105ft mark....
If you need any flight log or something in that realm, just reply and I will Google how to include it in this topic.
Sorry for not having the best English, I'm still learning and English is not my native language, Dutch is.
I made an account on Phantompilots.com just for this problem. I really hope someone replies and that the person can help me!
Litchi is not the problem, DJI GO and Litchi respond the same way.
