Video lag

Well given the exchange rate over there, the dji price point is pretty 'special' as over here it's bad but not in your league. Either that or you guys are on $200k a year in wages.
All the lag and glitch is while watching play back on the built in monitor p4pp but even the built in quick movie making editor that you can put random music to and post also has all the glitch... so from what I'm hearing I should buy better cards although the one I use came right from drone world.. ??
Hi um not sure i was lucky card fixed me fault but if u got something happening in editor aswell might b something in settings not quite right,,,if u got nother card around you could try it see what happen,,ill do some searching
I put in another card today and took it up and it still glitches badly I even change the resolution of the video way down and it glitches so bad that it's not worth shooting
Mate i still cant upload clips here i get error ocurred aswell,,i cant send more that 20mb for some reason,,goes to skypixel ok even when i dont want to,,,,,,,have u checked channels ,,i now use ch 20
You should look at buying direct from DJI to see what the online price is. That P4P should be about $2159 at today's exchange rate below. $1499USD X 1.44 = $2159
Let's clarify a few things. First when recording there are two streams. One to the SD card at resolution specified in the camera settings. At the same time there's a 720p being steamed over radio through the RC and sent to your tablet. The video is cached by the app. The video transmission via lightbridge can alter the bitrate based on signal strength but you can specify a fixed rate as well as the radio channel.
By default when you use video plsyback/streaming/editing functions in the app, you are using the lower resolution cached video. You can import the video from the SD card or download the video on the SD from the AC but downloading from the AC is really slow.
If the SD file is intact, video recording didn't stop then what's on the SD shouldn't have any glitches like you might see on the monitor. It is recording digital after all, not analog like video tape. However often PCs and PC applications can't handle the large video and so you might see hesitation.
I suppose you could have camera trouble where you get dropouts on SD and real time on the monitor but I don't think that's what we're describing but rather lightbridge transmission issues which do not affect what's on the SD.

Yeh ebay next one,,did i say next one,,next deciding either inspire or p4p,,,
,,,,,i got habbit off wantin receipts for things i buy,,good waranty aswell,,lot of $$$$$invested in this adiction in mean hobbie
Wow good info ,,,i di have bit of glitchin on sd card ,records normal inside cant test flight outdoors,,RAINING,,
thanks awsome infoFunny, I'm trying to make that same decision, Inspire 2 or P5 this fall? I have a big problem getting smooth cinematic yaws movements with my P4. It flies straight with no problem. But during a hover, when I yaw left or right, I cannot produce a consistent slow speed 180. The speed of the yaw slows down or speeds up, even though the stick is held rock solid. It may be due to wind, even though it does this on calm days all the time. To step up my quality I think I'll need an I2 soon, but that's later in the year when my customer base needs it.Yeh ebay next one,,did i say next one,,next deciding either inspire or p4p,,,

Hi just an update rain stopped got out for fly,,new sd card worked nice,took a pic to dark to record but all normal again
Just posted this to another member and need it confirming.
Are you still having this problem? I was having the same issue and not getting anywhere with the forums or DJI themselves.
I seem to have had a result with mine just by playing with the settings in the app. I'm using and iPad 2 With Phantom 4.I went into general settings and turned off the "GEO System" and low and behold the video feed appears to be rock solid! No more glitiching out, green screen, black screen or lag!
I noticed that when I first turned the drone on, before it actually got a GPS fix the video feed was fine. As soon as GPS was located the feed turned bad.
According to the app the GEO System is there to warn if you are in a restricted area or not, my thinking is that if the drone is constantly looking where it is and reporting back then this is maybe producing the lag and glitch in the video feed, i.e. Data overload?
Just a guess but I know that turning the GEO System off cures my problem.
If you are still struggling could you give it a go.
I see a lot of posts regarding this problem with lots of speculation about certain device not being up to scratch etc or the firmware needs winding back, so it would be good if someone else could try this also.
Best Regards,
North.
