This may be related to some of the 'features' of the latest android build. including private DNS settings, VPN, wifi calling etc. I will agree this is a new issue. It is near impossible to maintain the connection 30 foot away with the app. the remote however is maintaining control as normal...

I did this to St. Lucia, On Delta in 2016, I have the hard case and just checked it. make sure none of the batteries including the one in the remote are connected and use a TSA lock. Sandals didnt bother me, but I only flew on the resort beach early in the morning. However.... I did get called...

What happens when you enable control only on 2.4 and video to 5Ghz though?

Post it when you're done. I'd be interested in seeing it when it's done. a racer with hover ability would be nice as you learn.

So are you doing FPV Racer type? Do many of them use GPS?

The US airforce allows GPS constellation for the public down to 0.8m accuracy currently, thats typically your horizontal hold over an area. The Barometer is primary in calulating Vertical . If the variance is consistent and you have not damaged or crashed the drone, you might want to RMA and get...

So long as 3DR still exists they should take care of you on this. It may take some time, but they have in the past taken care of such things.

Can you just find someone in the US to put it in a half eaten jar of vegemite and send it to ya?

Its obviously able to track the shadow. so it is optical.

Ok fine take it with a grain of salt, but if you let it level on a surface that tilts slightly like a backpack and then move it and the tilt does not match, get ready for a back flip

do not ever move it while it is powered on. If you do , power it off and back on, and of course use a stable, flat, level surface.

Ok so we're talking GPS which is currently at 0.8 meters for civilians according to Airforce documents, on to centimeters, or millimeters. Like it has been said the drone being able to hold that position is the challenge even if it can identify the location in a highly accurate manner. Can it...

OK. Not in favor of people doing stupid things and winning stupid prizes, but the question was about Chile / Argentina and that ridiculous Mavic video was from Germany. The actual problem with remote places like South America is there is very little air traffic in these remote mountainous...

patagoinia is already a moderate to high elevation, you may unlock it by enabling advanced flight modes and changing the settings to no limit. That said follow the rules of the country and realize that the drone may not perform well at that elevation and in thinner air. There is a maximum...
