Component "Camera Video Resolution & Frame Rate"
Hi There! This component is not working with my DJI Mini 2 and the Dronelink app running on my iPhone X. Is this a known issue, bug or just a limitation in the SDK?

I Don’t believe it’s a bug. First of all, only resolutions and frame rates which the drones is capable of performing will work. Also do not use the rounded out frame rates as most won’t work. Example: do not use 30 FPS, use 29.970. Same with almost all the frame rates which are listed. Use the decimal FPS instead which is actually accurate. DJI just list them in the DJI apps as a rounded off number for simplification. Should work without any issues.
Thanks for the tip. Now it works. But DJI (Dronelink) is making this more confusing than necessary. I wish thgat whenever you create a new mission the first question asked would be: Which Drone are you using? And then remove all components not compatible with that drone. Right now it's trial and error affair. Also by DJI rounding up the frame rates is definitely adding to the confusion.
This had been discussed before but creating a web app specific for every drone would be extremely time consuming and costly. All you need to do is know what functions your specific drone is capable of. I agree that the DJI SDK which indicates all of those frame rates is frustrating but, other then the frame rates all other components are fairly straight forward for your drone.
I was told about a year ago, “Dronelink just shows all the possible values that the DJI SDK exposes, and then blindly issues the command without any knowledge about which ones will work with which drones (this is up to you, the mission planner).”
Enjoy.
