wifi to app keeps disconnecting

Post by steinberger »

This is so frustrating... I am on a trip of a lifetime shooting nothing but time lapses in the American South West and I've run into this problem several times now, which is that the app keeps dropping the wifi connection to the phone. I have two Motorola phones running the latest app with two Sonys, a a73 and a A7R3. This happens to both setup. Everything works fine and then 2.5 hrs into the timelapse the wifi is dropped and the camera is stuck on whatever exposure. So when it happens during sunset it ruins the entire day to night timelapse. And when your on location for only one day that becomes really frustrating. Both phones by the way are in airplane mode, no data connection, only to the wifi of the camera connected. Does anybody have any idea what causes that and how to prevent it? It's a little difficult to check wifi connection on two setups every few minutes....Any helps would be tremendously appreciated!!
