Phantom 4 pro live feed breaks up?

[jase888]

Just taken the Phantom 4 pro for its first flight, its amazing handles so well, but there's a lot to learn few quick questions.

The luve feed to my Nexus 7 kept breaking up quite frequently even when a few metres away. Its in the 2.4GHz mode too. Any ideas why it does this??

Also the return to home didn't work is this because I was in a beginners mode?

Do you have the Nexus 7 2012 or 2013 model?

It'll still work in beginner mode. What happened?

Not sure actually but at a guess maybe the early version.

Nothing it just continue to hover where it was, wasn't issue but want to know how to use it for future ref

The 2012 version is not going to work well with DJI GO. Try a device on this list.

It sounds like you did not initiated RTH.

Check out the Phantom manual for more details on the RTH feature. You can download the Phantom manual from the P4P downloads page.

Did the aircraft record a home point? Also if you initiate RTH within 20 meters of the recorded point it will land immediately.

Its a 2012 version so seems its not going to work well . In regards to the home point i realize I didnt set the homepoint - worked out how to do it right now.

Anyone know which is the cheapest tablet in that list that works well?

You could save a few bucks if you buy a used device from that list. The recommended devices are going to work better than most of the cheapest devices on that list.

For what it's worth, I have the P4P+ controller (integrated screen) and the video transmission also breaks up with the drone is right in front of me. I've not flown since the last drone firmware update, so maybe something got fixed... I hope...

Anyway I've had video feed breaks ups that recover mid-flight, and some that do not until I fly back and power cycle the drone. At this point, I'd suspect the drone more than your phone.

Ah right thats odd if it does it on that. I tested it on my Samsung A3 phone which works absolutley fine its just a small screen - it will do the job until I can afford a tablet
