Clarification.
White goggles would not work on NEW P4 V2.0., discovered this soon after purchase. Asked DJI about this, they advised goggles will work in the future with a firmware upgrade to the P4.
Waited patiently, thinking fw would also solve another issue of 5,8ghz not being an options to select. The two issues were not related.
Upgrades came. Goggles still would not work. Found from Youtuber that the goggles will work by downgrading the firmware on the goggles, to two versions prior and downgrading the firmware back to the original on the V2.0. DJI did not know this would work or at least they did not offer this, to me. Goggles issue, mostly solved, for now...
The 5.8ghz frequency STILL did not work on V2.0, still not an option with ANY firmware.
On my way to the forum...no moderator response.
DJI CHAT:
DJI advised, 5.8ghz should work. They advised, reset the controller and update to latest firmware on the P4. Performed both actions. No change to condition.
Confusing? yea. Seems there were a lot of new V2.0 owners that were having the same issues, with white goggles from reading comments on YT. We can only know what DJI tells us AND what we learn from each other as users about their "new and improved" products. Posting on this forum and getting the answers is a bit intimidating, sometimes and as this thread proves, you don't always get answers from the ones that should know. Before I confused the issue by throwing in the goggles problem, the question was straight forward:
"I was anxious to use the 5.8ghz frequency since I was experiencing some local interference. When I looked at the settings on my new P4 Pro + V2.0, the screen says 2.4ghz only". WTF?"
Earlier P4 model owners probably won't know the answer to this, since their version does not have this feature. Hence the :
[b]Hello? Any moderators with an answer, here?
I wanted to pickup RE's, but need to know now, what the story is.
This is one of the selling points on V2.0 [b]
The V2.0 is a totally different animal than it's predecessors. Occusync, 2.4ghz only, on this bird is flaky. I get a lot of interference messages and the range is not as good as my Mavic Pro using the same system at 2.4 ghz . 5.8 is the trick that makes it work as intended to find the better frequencies and channels giving it the best range for transmissions.
P4 V2.0 is on the way back for warranty repair at last.
$1800.00, three months later and this A/C has not been on the job to make any money. It was not purchased as a toy or for shooting videos at my local AMA field. No doubt. my high expectations ahead of DJI's completion of the products , for sale, was the problem. Only bashing my judgement, buying new a product from DJI, thinking they have it ready for market, this time.
Tell me you haven't heard this type concern, before, ie, Mavic Pro, Spark, Mavic Air, MP 2 Pro , not living up to promises from brand new...only to find that there is more that haven't told us.
