I just opened my Vision app and connected with no issues. Automatically updated to 1.0.61 on HTC One M8. Although I haven't flown my Vision+ V3.0 yet to see if the performance has been affected, it appears everything is working properly. No issues with my WiFi range extender not connecting or remaining connected. All camera controls work with tilt and settings. The video feed is clear and I have nothing to add. However, I will be interested to see if the connection performance has been adversely affected or improved? I'm not sure why DJI would update the Vision App after such a long time and after removing the Phantom 2 Vision+ from products available. The notes to the app simply says "bug fixes", but, I've been flying mine for almost a year since the last app upgrade came out with no issues. It would be nice if DJI would at least tell the Vision+ Owners exactly what the upgrade to the Vision App was supposed to do? If it improves WiFi connection I'm all for it, but, if it restricts the range I'm pretty pissed that I can't roll back to the 1.0.58 version. I've already suffered through one DJI firmware fiasco, main controller 3.08 which crashed my Vision+ due to a mandatory firmware upgrade. I was lucky I was over land at the time and not flying over water as I sometimes do. After almost 2 months in repair, $50 in shipping costs to California, I got it back without so much as a "sorry" from DJI. If it had crashed in the water I'm sure DJI would have said "too bad" we can't fix or replace if you can't prove you installed 3.08. I agree with other posters, transparency is required regarding the firmware and upgrades that are pushed to our machines. I've been waiting for the Phantom 4 to arrive before upgrading from my Vision+, however, I'm about ready to forget the coolness of "Lightbridge" technology and go with the upcoming Yuneec Typhoon H and compare company support for their products. DJI,, I want to know what the reason was for changing/upgrading a dead app was for Phantom 2 Vision+? (Are there new features on the Vision App that didn't exist on 1.0.58? Does it extend/limit the range of the WiFi range extender??) A responsible company would tell the owners of its products what it is doing to change the performance. A year ago all fly aways were "operator error",, after firmware 3.08 was pushed out,, it became apparent that DJI's firmware could actually be responsible for fly aways and crashes beyond the Pilot's control. Drop the "silent treatment" and start giving the customers answers... |
