First flight with my P4P and the video on my iPad mini keeps freezing or video is pixilated, and blacks out. Firmware is updated as well as the GO 4 App. Problems happens almost immediately. I use to fly my P3P from the same location with zero problems. Also, I had a tough time updating the firmware and when it finally installed it could not see any of my SD cards and settings for the Go App 4 were completely off. Once restarted it saw the SD card, but the setting were crazy on the App (they were not normal reset values). Anyway making a long story even longer... Right now I am most concerned with the video transmission problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
I use a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and I also experience terrible video transmission problems...

Hi gosh i just went through all that with p4 after update ,it changed a few settings,,i was like what the###got faster reading card,,,mucked around with cam setting,,,,whew sorted,,,goodluck:oops:
 
I'm also struggling with poor transmission feed on my P4P. I thought it was maybe the cord from my controller to my phone, but after trying 3 different cords, I don't think that's the issue. I also fly a P3P and Mavic and have zero issues with video transmissions on those flights. I use an iPhone 6 Plus to fly.
 
Check the image transmission speed settings.

This. I too struggled with some bad image transmission problems, but I lowered the video transmission bitrate and it instantly fixed my problem.
 
Hello fellow pilots! First time using this site. I'm licensed 107. I wanted to ask this same question. I frequently get the bad transmission issues on my ipad mini 2 on my P4P. I've been told that the outside heat effects it on the ipad. I'm in the Tampa area of Florida. I turn off all settings Wifi, bluetooth,...I've also read something about either activating or deactivating the "hardware decoder" but I can not locate that in the ipad. Anyone know about this and where to find it?

Also the image transmission speed you refer to above is the frequency, 2.4/ 5.8, right? i should take that off Auto and then choose what?

I really thought the ipad mini 2 was the best choice for viewing so I curious what is better. This is my only business now and I can't record video and photos if I can't see what my drones sees. Please help, thx!

I live in Florida as well. After reading the issues that i-thingys have with overheating I went with the P4P+. Even, so I try not to fly a lot in the hot part of the day.
 
The Ipad mini 2 is to slow for the DJI Go 4 app, I use a Mini 4 and don't have any problems. I'm down here in the swamp and my Mini 4 or Ipad Pro 9.7 never over heated. Don't get a mini 3 that's the same cpu as the 2

I would reinstall firmware using dji assistant 2 if I was you.
