Re: P2V+ Which phones/tablets and stuff work best for live v

FPV works fine with my nexus 7 2013 at 640 15fps. With booster APP i can go 900m. But at 30 fps my picture freezes at close range. Using latest APP 1.0.40

900m Wow, that's great. What booster app? Thanks for the info.

Hello all
i had issue's with FPV.
I got the telemetry on the old tablet ( android ) but no live video
a lot of people using a NEXUS 7.
So i toke a shot in the blind and bought a asus ME173x. Mid range price and quad processor running on 1,2g.
Ow i did a test with a colleague on his iphone 5 and there it worked. It was just to see if the phantom worked, no flight was done.
The ME173x or MEMO PAD from ASUS works really fine.
My system now:
V+ on V3.04 and the tablet is V1.04.
The evening before i had good results but didn't had the app yet to extend the range. I had 12 satellites and no issue's @ all.
Also the live video connection was broken often but reconnected almost immediately. So actually i had no video loss, just that screen popping up regularly.
In the evening (9pm) i toke it again for a spin. It was back in full force. 12/13 satellites and no video interruption what so ever. A clean smooth flight, even with range extender app on.
As a fully licensed HAM radio guy ( yes i have the privilege of transmitting on any HAM radio band ) i know something about how transmissions work..
Lets see whats it going to be this afternoon because its going to be 30¤C ( 86¤F ) and more.
A video of my first FPV flight and testing of the range extender app can be seen here.
I switched on recording the moment it reached the stock range. And initialized also the range extender app.

It works! Or I should say it helps a lot. My connection went from about 100ft to 450ft. I know that's not very far for most of you but to me it is very encouraging. As soon as I get a new phone I think I'll be in good shape. Now I need to decide on a phone or tablet.
Thanks for your help.

I am pretty new having only had the P2V+ for a couple of weeks. But I am using an iPhone 5s, and have had no issues whatsoever. Perfect FPV video always. Now I admit, other than taking the bird to 300 feet, and not too far way, I am not stretching the limits. I also have an iPad Mini retina, but so far have mode no attempt to use it.

Have you tried your iPad mini yet?
