Having MAJOR frustrations (once again) with my Phantom Vision 2+. Looking for some much needed advice. Here’s the basic run down:
April 2014 – Bought it. Worked awesome for the first 2 months
June 2014 – Started getting the issue where I got black screen on the app. Could still control the camera (take pics/video, angle, etc.) but could never get a feed to my phone/tablet.
July/August 2014 – After numerous calls with support, they finally sent me to a local DJI repair place who said the Wifi Module was faulty and they replaced it.
Sept/Oct 2014 – Took it for a few flights (2-3 hours) and it was working. Had one landing that wasn’t super delicate, but otherwise no crashes or anything.
So here’s the current problem which is driving me crazy!!!
I basically can’t connect to/control the camera no matter what I try (and I’ve tried on multiple devices/platforms). Here’s the basic LOOP that I’m in:
1) Turn on Remote, then wifi extender, then copter, start DJI App
2) Connect to copter wifi
3) Go to settings… bind camera
4) Take a picture of the QR code on the copter
5) Binding Successful
6) Go to camera on App
7) Black screen and message “Phantom Connection Broken”
8) Go back to settings, to rebind: “Wifi repeater connection failed”
9) At this point, the wifi signal disappears and will not come back, even after turning everything off and back on again.
The ONLY way to get the wifi back is to reset the wifi extender (by holding reset for 20sec). At this point, I can RE-connect to the Phantom Wifi. I then go to settings, re-bind the camera, but then I get right back into step 6 of my looping problem and I have no luck.
I can FLY the copter fine, however I need the ability to take videos and pictures. So far my $1500 purchase has been a really expensive paperweight for the majority of time I’ve owned it!
Any ideas on how to fix this? It’s INCREDIBLY frustrating.
Few other things:
• All firmware is totally updated on everything
• App is the newest version
• I have a Nexus 5 running Android Lollipop, an S3 running Android 4.4.4, and an iphone 5c. Same problems on all. It has to be an issue with the copter/wifi extender itself.
If you need any other info to help with diagnosis, please don’t hesitate to ask!
