Hello,
I am wondering if anyone else has an issue with their Phantom 2 Vision+ losing camera functionality and camera connection to DJI Vision app on Smartphone? I am running latest version 3.08 on my Version 3.0 Vision+. I'm using a HTC One (M8) with latest Vision android application. Remote controller and WiFi range extender all fully charged and operating normally. My problem seems to only have recently started and basically is described as a loss of any camera control after taking a photo in RAW or possibly two or three photos before loss of functionality. The experience goes like this:
When flying the Vision+ V3.0 I am having no issues with recording video. Turning video on/off while in flight does not affect the "camera view" from the Phantom's camera to my Smartphone. I never lose vision of the camera view or FPV of Phantom. However, if I stop recording video and take a photo in RAW format, the Vision app on my Smartphone goes *black* and may stay black for 10 seconds approximately before the Vision app begins to show the "camera view" and full functionality of the camera controls resumes. At this point, I can touch the *camera* icon or the *video* icon to activate the shutter or recording. I've never had a problem in the first month of owership except the huge delay after taking a photo. However, yesterday I was flying at evening and took a RAW photo after recording video. At this point the lag in writing the file and getting a *camera view* back on the screen of my Smartphone seemed longer than usual and when I started to take another photo the icons for *camera* and *video* were grayed out and non-functioning, although, the red record light flashed within the *video* icon that was grayed out. The camera indeed writes a file during this bug, but, it is corrupted and unplayable. Today I had the same issue happen again, and, on a 2nd flight after stopping video I was able to take 3 RAW photos before the Vision app went *black*. The "camera view" function never returned and I had to fly by eyesight to bring the Phantom back to me. The sudden loss of *camera vision* while flying really concerns me because I rely on it to bring my Phantom back when flying beyond my eyesight to avoid disorientation and trouble landing in small clearings.
Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not sure what else to do except stop taking RAW photos when I fly or making sure I don't get the Phantom too far away when I choose to take photos instead of video.
