Hi Ken,
Perhaps you missed out on the point that I have the P2/ GoPro 3/ HD 3D gimbal set up on several birds and this is the only Airside unit that has failed. The key point is that the video LED is RED despite appropriate settings on the GoPro (it doesn't matter what the LB app settings are - if you do not get these right but the unit is working, the video LED is green even though you will not see an image on the iOS device. Regarding the video resolution points, there were firmware upgrades posted on the support page that overcome resolution restrictions on 4K (I don't use these anyway). Also, I actually read manuals and know that some rates like 48fps are not supported.
With iOS 9.2 and the beta LB app, there is a tendency for the app to switch to HD-gimbal mode if there is a glitch in the feed at startup time. This results in a loss of video feed to the iOS device but not a HDMI monitor.
The LB app has to be reset to HD/AV as you state by rebooting the bird / tx / app (specific sequence can vary). This is what drives most users nuts if they cannot figure it out. At this point in time, if DJI does not want to write extra code for the the GO app to accommodate LB1 or fix the current 'beta' app, then perhaps it should just say so. In its current state, I don't think any pro would use the LB1 with iOS. The App (which was ok on iOS8.x) has seriously degraded functionality.
I plan to send the unit for repair as I have use for it. My call to DJI remains: that there is a bad component somewhere in the Tx that may be due to a QC issue in a batch of units. I shared by SN in an earlier post. For comparison, have you ever heard of a similar component failure in the P3 or Inspire 1 aircraft? I know of none but there have been a few LB 1 complaints on the Pro products page. You can PM me if you want to hear more.
Again, I'm not given to petty complaints so I suggest you 'escalate' my postings to the engineering staff. I have written in to DJI support on email but I think they don't know how to triage customers well enough.
