Hi, i was flying in windy conditions this past weekend and expierenced very poor video transmission between my ac and phone. I usually don't have this problem and was wondering if the wind had anything to do with it?

Technically speaking, there is no transmission between the aircraft and your phone. The aircraft has a communication channel between itself and the RC controller. The phone then connects by cable to the RC unit, except if it is a Phantom 3 Standard, when the connection is by WiFi. And wind has no effect on it at all.

Geebax is correct. Change to another location or another recommended mobile device is helpful to verify.

On my P3P, I used an Ipad mini 2, on 2.4ghz, and it was rock solid for very long distances.  Bought the P4P, and the iPad mini 2 is practically useless. I get choppy, green screen on live feed consistently. I tried, re-linking RC, turning off background refresh and Bluetooth on ipad, delete/reinstall app, turning off video cache...nothing works. Same result whether I'm 50ft or 500ft away. If you look at the available channels they are mostly red, and this is out in the middle of nowhere. If I choose 5.8ghz, it becomes usable, but still plenty of dropout on the live feed.

If I use my iPhone 7 Plus or my wife's iPhone 8 Plus, I get great live feed with the same settings as the Mini2. Since I want a little bigger screen, I bought a Mini 4 yesterday, and will give that a try. The DJI Go app is the only app installed on the Mini 4 besides the standard IOS apps. But I have heard of success using the Mini 4. To me so far, it makes a great difference in which device I use, with the same settings for each.

Thanks, let me know how you make out with that.
