But I do need the wifi to see through the camera, correct? Otherwise, I'm guessing. Not only that, I need the wifi to be able to see where I'm going, etc. and to avoid obstacles. I have the Phantom 4 Pro. While it does avoid obstacles, I feel safer seeing them.
You do not need wifi to connect to the aircraft, the P4P system uses its own proprietary radio protocol called 'Lightbridge' to transmit the First Person View (FPV) from the aircrafts camera to your RC then via USB to your display.
Yes this operates on the same frequency bands, 2.4 & 5.8 GHz as used by wifi (licence free for anybody to use) but it is not wifi. The aircraft and the RC talk directly to each other with no need for any other external link.
I would suggest you have a good read of the manual, paying particular attention to the section on RTH, as RTH is not fail safe and needs to be well understood , and practiced in an open area, before you fly further afield. |
