Apparently, you are running Mini4 without any issue. what is your FW, RC version? A lot of people here with mini4 has various problems with transmission, overheating issues.
FW and RC the latest. I have not had any heat issues with the Mini 4 and I have found this issue or should I say circumstance. In using a Phantom if you stay on station for a while in warm weather a video transmission will flicker due to heat buildup of around 125-128 degrees in the battery compartment and really gets bad as the battery voltage drops Under these circumstances I have lost video with the P4 pro 10 feet away from the RC. If I keep the P4P moving and air circulating through the vents there is no issue at all. I have not had a chance to try this yet with an Inspire 2 and due to the open architecture I don't think it will be an issue. The Mini 4 does get warm and there may be an issue with a long period of time but there is cooling unit on the market that Aircraft Pilots use to keep the iPad cool. Unfortunately the iPhone has a problem as well. The iPhone monitors its internal temp. and will shut down at a set temp. I have had this happen to mine a couple of times when the phone was in sunlight in the car on a warm day. I still stand by the Mini 4 as the ideal screen size and quality of that display. I understand that the Crystal Sky is a great display in sunlight, brighter than the Mini 4 but the problem there, for me anyway is that you cannot use any third party Apps for things such as Mapping, which I do a lot of.
Hope this helps |
