I've been using my iPad Mini 2 with my P4 for the past year and it has been incredible.
Today, I had my first flight with my brand new P4P after updating all firmware, software, etc. I flew with my iPad Mini2. It was a terrible experience with the mini 2, and I'm really bummed about it. Never ending video transmission problems. Green and black stripes on the screen constantly. About 2 fps at times. Didn't matter how close or far I was from the bird. Rebooted everything, tried different cable, tried different file format settings, carefully adjusted the antenna, I tried airplane mode on the iPad, etc etc etc.
The entire time I had full bars for RC connection, GPS, Sensors, etc. and I had no trouble at all with controlling the bird, just problems with the video signal transmission.
I FINALLY decided to see if the iPad Mini was the problem (rather than thinking the problem was part of the RC/Drone/iPad communication), so I decided to try my iPhone 7 plus to control the bird. Worked perfectly... absolutely perfectly. So, the iPad Mini 2 = Problem, iPhone 7+ = excellent reception, Me = bummed. |
