Hi, I have very noob probably obvious questions here. I got my P3A up in the air for the first time tonight. First, that was fun! The thing worked very well and was remarkably stable. The FPV video was smooth on the iPad Mini 2. I kept it in beginner mode and flew it around and up to 100 feet for 13 minutes. My old AR Parrot was painful to use by comparison, at least if I wanted to get it anywhere high without worry.
Anyway, the first thing I noticed is I am not sure where to find the flight log. I couldn't find an obvious feature in the DJI GO app where it would be. The little map in the corner showed me a squiggly line initially, which is obviously where I had gone. But, I was searching for a way to save it and access previous flight logs (of which there are none yet), and I clicked what looks like a pencil eraser; it removed the squiggly line without any prompt or message. I also looked on the microSD card in the P3A, and there was just the video and photos I took.
Next, I watched the video that was saved to the microSD card. I use VLC on a PC that is plenty powerful. I initially tried Microsoft's player and that was super bad... VLC worked better but was still quite choppy. I copied it locally to the PC first, just in case. While the image is sharp, it is jumpy and has quite a bit of pixelation moments where it flashes some garbage pixels over a section of the screen, like when a satellite TV connection is crapping out. I am using the built-in card, but I also bought a 64GB card (class 10) that I haven't tried yet. What's the deal here? Note that the live video was very smooth with no glitches (and lower resolution of course). And, I see a copy of that live video was automatically saved to the tablet, and that is also smooth.
