I've got the P3P and using an ipad mini 2 and I've noticed pixelating. I've been reserching for the past week and cant find a fix to my problem. Seem like it does it in all settings. The video will do fine then all the sudden the pixelating starts. Once it was like it locked up then it was very choppy. Today I went on a long flight and it did good on the flight out, but the return the video was very choppy and would pixelat. Thought it may be a heat issue so I'd let it cool off and try again but it would do the same thing. When I open the dji pilot app it says my firmware is up to date. And I've tried all the different modes, mov, jpeg, chang the video to the lowest setting..... Can someone please help

Bump.........

I have the same issue on occasion. I also have some frame jump. It is smooth and like every 5 seconds it seems to speed through the frames. I am going to try and reformat my my sd card. I don't know what else to do either.

Same issue here on a Brand New iPad Mini 3 this weekend.....Video could stall, then pixelate and jump ahead.  Really hard to fly when it does this....scary actually.

same here, I hope the new firmware WHEN it comes out will fix,  didnt have this til I updated firmware

Try putting your iPad Mini into airplane mode. By doing this it stops all other communication interference, I've had luck doing this.  

I was experiencing that exact same issue with my iPad AIR, along with intense overheating. I switched out to my iPhone 6 PLUS and problem went away. I did notice also that in 4K that seems to be an issue, so I dialed it down to 1080P and 60FPS and have not had any issues at all.

Cheers,
Vic

I only notice it in playback. It happens on multiple computers so I am afraid it is in the file of the recording and not in the tablet.

Thanks for all the response. I've actually contacted DJI and went through some troubleshooting steps:
1: In the General Settings menu I enabled the Hardware Decode
2: I've went under Image Transmission Setting and changed to custom and I've ran it on auto
So after doing this it still does the flickering, frame jumping... I know a few folks have suggested going to 180dpi 60fps. I've not tried that guess one of the main reasons I bought the Pro was the 4k camera. Maybe DJI is working on this and it will be out in an update soon. Guess we all need to call DJI and let them know there is an issue...

Sick of this. Went out this am and the same thing. I need my Phantom 2 Vision Plus back or a fix to this problem>

been having the same issue since purchase. SMH

Airplane mode (cache maps first, if you need them), hardware decode, and disable video cache....   And every now and then is still looks crappy, but not too too bad.  If, when I get the HDMI board, it looks the same, I wont be happy...   Oh, and it shouldn't matter if you have your camera set to record 4k, 1080p/i, etc...  Lightbridge on 2/4ghz is only 720p.

All,
