Pv2 on

Green lights on, app on, camera view good
Ten sats

Lovely

After straight line flight about 80 yds? Screen goes black and white, frozen picture

All stats still show, height speed and data
No camera view. Most annoying as have to fly manually back to base

Turn off, all on, back ok

Don't like it, any help please

That last IOS App update got you. You're currently on .39? Back it up to .38 and that specific problem will disappear...

Or alternately, just to prove this out... Change your preview down to 320x240 @15FPS... I'll bet that works fine too...

Sorry about that. You're on an iPhone... 1.0.38 and 1.0.39 are Android versions...
I'd try changing your preview down to 320x240 @15fps as that should get you by until they fix this...

Sorry about the confusion...

Thanks

Have just updated everything, recharged everything, going to give it another go this evening. Will report in.

Or am I wasting time as they have screwed up...?

If you change your preview down to a lower resolution I think you'll be okay.

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago.

I simply rebooted transmitter, phantom, and iphone.

My problem disappeared.

Hell sometimes I get in my car (once per year?) and I'll have no XM connection at all.

I stop and restart the car.

Guess what?

Computers.

Dropped res down, and worked well thank you.

Unnervingly though, the PV2 started to take a mind of its own on close control, slowly turning on its own on a 10 yard circle, rather scared me as it was out of my control, sort of feel that the GPS wasn't keeping it where it was, as the sticks were centered and neutral when it was doing it. No wind either which was the un nerving bit

Sort of losing confidence with its close flying..

Can it be reset - the gPS>? I re calibrate every go too..
