I purchased an iPad Mini 4 around the beginning of April to use with my new Mavic. Had about six weeks of the iPad working fine with hardly any crashes, until I updated to the latest version of DJI Go4 (4.1.0). Since the upgrade, the app constantly crashes or freezes when flying.
The worst case of this was five crashes and restarts, followed by a crash that totally locked up the iPad -- all during a single flight. I have noticed that it seems to happen more when using the camera. Especially when switching between video and still, but also when using a programmed button (like the zoom, or gimbal up/down).
Weird behaviors that I am seeing randomly in addition to the total crash/shutdown of the app are:
The app suddenly disconnects from the controller - this can take unplugging the cable to correct.
The video feed freezes until I adjust the gimbal, or start/stop video recording.
Random erratic gimbal resets while flying.
Gimbal is ALWAYS out of alignment -- has been like this since new. Calibration only lasts for a few minutes at best.
Flight records do not display the 4 thumbnail shots and it always says map loading where the location should show up in the log. In the details of the flight, the map is there and the thumbnails are placed correctly on the track.
And to make it worse, the editor portion of the app is basically unuseable. It is super slow, and takes forever to come up with what was supposed to be cached videos. Photos shot can take 3-5 minutes to appear in the library - and disappear and have to be reloaded next time I open the app.
Any suggestions, as this is obviously a mess?
