Hi Satdiver and h-elsner,
I had the same exact scenario happen to me the other night. I got a new ANAFI thermal sent to me after my first one crashed unexpectedly. During the first flight after updating to the newest firmware, I lost all connection to the drone. Luckily I was just flying only 30ft directly above me because I knew how unpredictable the ANAFI can be. I was still receiving the wifi from the drone but could not connect using the controller or my phone in the free flight app. I had no control while it hovered above me. I tried to reconnect many times with no luck. I ended up having to wait until the drone ran out of battery and descended on its own. No damage, but if I was flying above trees or water this would have been a much different situation. Have you been able to find out anything else since your most recent post? Or have you had any successful flights since the mishap you described?
