Hey Mike, what tablet or phone are you using?
What I am seeing (ONLY after the recent software update) is that my iPad Mini 2 now overheats when I fly and the hotter it gets, the worse the image transmission problem is. This is 100% repeatable for me. Cold iPad = reasonable image transmission (which at best, was still better before the update). The longer I fly, the worse the problem gets until it is completely unusable. I get the same problem with my iPhone 7 Plus, but it takes a little longer.
With both devices, If I pull off any protective case, I can fly a little longer until the heat issue knocks me offline. If I stay in the shade, I can also fly a little longer. So after the update, I am busily switching back and forth between my iPad and my iPhone with each P4 battery change. I still can't get a full 15 or 20 minutes of flight time before the image transmission gets too bad to fly, but I have been able to get my work done in short bursts.
Hopefully DJI will be fixing whatever errant code they stuck in the latest software update, so the processors aren't spinning out of control on the mobile devices and causing them to overheat. |
