Just a note on this issue --On all my IOS devices IPAD PRO 9.4--MINI 4--Mini 3 and Android Shield K1
IF my startup sequence is Remote--IPAD--P4 pro NO Draw or Tripod mode--
Hey, well done finding that out, but it makes sense. The app no doubt needs to know which Phantom it is being used with when it starts up - the 4 or the 4 Pro - and if it's told it's the P4P then it'll enable the extra features. The RC doesn't know what to respond to the app if it hasn't connected to the drone first to find out, so the default is P4.
So, powering on in the sequence RC-P4P-App is no doubt the way to go.
By the way, for those who see between the lines here, if this is correct then the functionality for the extra flight modes may therefore already be in-built to the app, rather than the P4P firmware, so why can't it be enabled for the P4 regardless? Which is a rhetoric question - not hard to work out (hehe). This is not uncommon in the software world - to have the software fully capable but with options turned off depending on what you've paid for. |
