Hi All,
I received a new drone from DJI to replace a drone thought to be at the bottom of the ocean, an entirely different story/post. Anyway, since I started flying the new drone I started getting subtle interference in my video feed to the device. It progressively got worse flight after flight, to where last flight I had about a 10% stable feed but most of the time forced to fly VLOS. Which makes it difficult to do certain maneuvers or determine actual distances from object, especially being 400 to 800 ft away.
Full 4K video that I pull off the SD card from Mavic is fine, it is just the low resolution video on device that is bad
I use an ASUS Zenpad 7" tablet on a Mav Mount and connect via the USB port on the underside of the controller. It worked fine on my original drone with no issues that I can remember. It was not until I started using the new drone with the original controller.
I did a flight test today using my Samsung S8 phone and the original connector cable that came with the Mavic Pro (Short cable connects to the side of controller), I had perfect video feed entire flight. I then plugged the tablet in the side port of the controller and again, no video feed issues.
I should have probably plugged the Samsung S8 into the bottom USB port of the controller but I pretty much determined at this point that the issue was with the bottom USB port on the controller. I did jiggle the cord around to see if that effected the feed at all, it did not. So it is not anything like a loose cable or something to that effect. I also used different cables as well.
My question is, is this something that can be repaired. Does DJI make a long cable for side plug of the controller?
Here is a link showing the a short example of the low res and the 4K video side by side
Any suggestions???
