I usually fly my Mavic in VR mode , so it's really important to me to have a reliable, non-jerky, low-latency video transmission.
I wonder if it's even possible to get a really stable video transmission from the Mavic Pro. No matter how close I stand relative to the aircraft - the preview in DJI GO or LITCHI just isn't smooth, there are many dropped frames.
Real 60 fps seem to be impossible (even at 720p) but it's not even achievable to get stable 30 fps. I tried it on a large area without any WiFi interference, put my own phone into Flight Mode - no change there.
Tried different settings but the video preview still stutters. Just try it for yourself: Take the mavic and just slowly pan it from left to right or turn it around. The video preview still makes some little jumps, dropping frames and seems not V-synced with Android at all.
I tried the "smooth"-option in the transmission settings, but even that didn't work (seems to use 48 fps instead of 60 fps which would be needed for smooth video under Android with a 60 Hz panel).
* The recorded videos look smooth so far so it's no issue with the sensor, codec or shutter speed.
* My smartphone can easily play high res video with 60 fps and bitrates without any problems (1080p@60 H264/HEVC isn't any problem) so it's not hardware-related.
Is there any secret setting to achieve a stable preview with 30 fps (or better: 60 fps) without framedrops (if the signal is ok?)
Should I choose 'Auto' in transmission settings or force 20 MHz and choose a channel by myself? Any tipps?
