Got my phantom 3 standard a few weeks back, after flying it using a mini3 out front of my house I was a little discouraged to really fly it because of some serious video lag. Yes, hardware decode was on and its a dedicated device. The farther the quad got the worse the lag gets until about 1500' +- where the current image on the screen freezes, turns black and white and then goes black. At that point RTH kicks on while I crap my pants and instantly become religious asking god to bring my baby home. After a few LOOONG seconds video restores itself on the screen. Its almost as if the app freezes but it has never fully crashed. Video always comes back.
Next I tried a Ipad Air2 same place, the video lag was a bit better but still very much present.
Taking a little drive down to the high school which is next to a huge agricultural area with nothing but fields and some city surrounding it. I was able to fly out 4000' with solid video and control off the Air2. It was great!
Obviously, this is related to some sort of interference where I live. But what?
I find it interesting because people fly over urban areas all the time and have never seen a glitch, especially on the air or other high speed device.
just wanted to share!
Maybe someone has expirenced the same?
