So today I decided to take the mini out for its maiden flight, however, after doing the initial start-up procedures and setting it in place for take-off....there were NO satellite connections.
Decided I would at least take it off and do some minor control tests. At first I had a " High Altitude- caution" warning, not sure why, but it flew great. After about one minute I lost all connections between the remote and my iphone. Checked the connectors...ok. Landed the cute little mini, shut everything off and tried it again...same results. Tried it a few more times and finally gave up. Is the fact I had no GPS signal causing it to lose connection between the remote and my phone? Hoping for a simple answer or I will be returning this shortly as I don't want to hassle with DJI. Perhaps a faulty GPS receiver? I was in an open location and should have had at least a few satellites. Thoughts?
