ipad mini 5th gen cellular
anyone using the above for dronelink with smooth success ?
i ran 3 missions on mine no more than 150 yards away and the video onscreen was poor ,laggy and jerky.
im sure this new device is well up to the job maybe i am missing something important .

We regularly test that device without issues.
thanks jim any advice ?
Are you able to get reliable video feed when the drone is just sitting on your desk?
yes jim perfect
If the video feed only gets bad when you are flying then it means there is interference where you are. Have you tried flying in a different location?
no not as yet jim,good point though as im very near 2 mobile masts ,but i get no video issues with the native dji app though ?
If I recall correctly you are using the Mavic Air 2? If the issue isn't actually interference (which I don't think we have ruled out), then it is always possible that DJI is using newer code in their own app than what we have available through their SDK. In the past they have been slow to roll out updates such as hardware acceleration for the video feed from newer drones.
ok Jim thank you for your time ,i am hoping to get out and do more testing in the next few days ,i am just working on missions as we speak,one quick question ,i have seen somewhere you can adjust the corner radius on a waypoint i cannot get the setting up.
found it thanks Jim.
I'm using the same mini Ipad. I always fly in "smooth" video transmission mode and have zero problems flying within 1/4 mile of a large cell tower. If I switch to HD mode is always has issues.
thanks mike did not realise there was even a smooth option ,i use the HD mode on the dji app always no issues i will look for it on the dronelink app cheers
mike where do i change to the smooth setting on the app cannot see it thanks.
In your DJI fly app, under transmission tab
ok so if i open the dji fly app and change the setting to smooth do i then close the app and open the dronelink app or leave them both open ,sorry a bit confused ,also does it tell me anywhere on the dronelink app what transmission mode i am using ? thanks mike,
It’s it’s really trial and error to close or leave open the DJI fly app, before you switch to DL. Once you switch the transmission mode to smooth in DJIfly, make sure you update your home point, then try your mission in DL. Beta is beta, so you may have to kill fly app or may not.
Ive learned that DL follows settings in fly app such as transmission settings, I give it a try.
ok cool when the snow stops falling i will give it a go..thank you
Maybe something you could add to the drone command list Jim ? smooth or HD
