Hi Guys,
Firstly, let me give you a quick background on myself. I've owned 3 Phantoms (starting with a Phantom 2 with a GoPro) so I know my way around these drones. Ever since I bought my Phantom 4 Pro (about 18 months ago), I've had controller connection issues.
Here's the process:
1) Turn on the P4, turn on the controller with my iPad connected and the DJI Go 4 App fired up.
2) The light on the controller (next to the battery status indicator) is RED
3) The DJI Go apps says Aircraft Disconnected.
What I do, is turn off and on the P4, the Controller and sometimes even restart the Go app although I'm now convinced the app has nothing to do with it. I go through this process for anywhere up to 20-30 times until the light goes GREEN and the Aircraft Connects in the Go App. This can take up to 20 minutes in order to get ready to fly and I'm getting sick of it!
Once the Aircraft is Connected, the P4 flies perfectly and the connection doesn't drop at all. I made a quick video showing what happens so you can see what I'm dealing with. I didn't keep restarting until the Aircraft and the Controller connected, but that's what I usually do!
Do you think it's a bad controller? I've tried using 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, I've tried manually selecting channels... but I'm out of ideas!
Here's the video - would LOVE some feedback!
Thanks!
Steve
