I was flying my drone over some woods when the controller screen went blank. The footage had been glitching all day. This is an ongoing issue with Smart Controllers and DJI Air 2S based on my research. I contacted the company and they have told me to try some things and blamed it on the software.
Reporter stated the smart controller has intermittent connectivity with the UAS. Partial lost links have occurred but reporter has always been able to regain control of the UAS.
Hobby UAS pilot had a controller malfunction while flying. Pilot landed UAS safely.
