DJI GO 4 - Just updated, terrible signal and video

Why is this saying its a P3 Pro, it also flicked back to P4 a few times then back to P3? I think its brain is scrambled

Mine did that, figured it was. Because it's a P3A Controller. Anyway, same RC firmware for P3's and P4's..

Ah OK, perhaps all is not lost, although I'm now thinking this is more than just software.....

I did a flight today using the latest Go 4.0.5 on my Nvidia Shield K1 and was getting quite a lot of breakup/pixelation on the video despite the P4 only being about 400ft away. I then landed and did an almost identical flight hovering in the same location using GO 2.9.1 and the video was almost perfect with only one minor breakup during the 5 min test flight.

Hi Andy, 1.8 or 1.6 on the RC?

1.6

Andy,
If your K1 is running 7.0 Nougat you will have the best luck with the older go app's like 2.9.1
I have read that some are downgrading the K1 software and having even better results.
You will need to be rooted for this.
I am on 7.0 with Go 2.9.1 without a app crash yet. Plenty of them with Go4 and Go 3.13/3.1.4

I have downgraded back to Lollipop on the K1 due to the app crashes etc. The app is not crashing but the video feed is poor compared to the older 2.9.1.
