Hi,
I have tested the new V2 with the new RE googles and confimed an issue with the hardward (for me at least). When I connect the RE googles to the V2 it degrades the video tramsission and severly reduces the range I get before it looses video connection. I have tried this several times (at lease 6 flights). When RE googgles connected I can only get about 300 to 400ft distance before I start having connection problems. When I disconnect (turn off) the RE googles from the V2 may range is back to normal, 1500 ft distance not problem. The RE googles are even worse when switch from Normal to HD, I cant even get 200ft distance. If you turn off the googles distance range comes back. Turn them on and i get weak signal warnings and signal is lost. I also have a Phantom Pro. I can use these RE googles with the Phantom Pro no problem with 1500 ft distance and no signal loss or warnings. These observatons makes me think is a V2 issue, or at lease mine has an problem as the RE googles work great on the Phantom Pro. I bought the V2 so I could use the googles wirelessly. I have the V1 Phantom and using the cable with the controller is pain in the ass (poor cable connect design, not robust mechanical connector). Antother thing I have observed with the V2 is satalite connectivy is not as sensitive as my V1 and Phantom Pro. On the V1 and Phantom Pro they both connect to 12 plus satilites in a minute or less, usually. The new V2 usually only connects to 7-9 until its about 10 ft off the ground then it will connect to 10 plus. I tested this several times in the same location with the V1, V2, and Phantom Pro within 1/2 hour or so of each other. I've observed this at least a dozen times now. V1 and Phantom Pro connect quickly ususlly to 12 plus on the ground pre-launch, not my new V2. 7-9 satilites on the ground. But when I take off and get 10 to 20 ft in the air - boom, they connect. ???
