DJI--- Ship those Crystal Skys

AeroMirage · Jun 21, 2017

Flew the new Inspire 2 for the first time tonight.
Kept getting warning that mobile device CPU fully loaded....
Been waiting on a Crystal Sky for over a month and VERY ready for it now!!
Ipad Mini 2 is Obviously now obsolete.

CrystalSky can't come soon enough!!

GO4 held but there was noticeably more latency and some freezing in the video feed. I have it set to 1080p. I will back it down to 720p and see if that helps any.

This is happening across the DJI product line since the last Go 4 update last week. It has been noted to occur with the IPad mini 4 as well as the iPhone 7 and other devices. It appears to be a bug in the update.

Exactly Barry and my iPad Mini4 is not obsolete. Either DJI is trying to pull a fast one or there is a bug in the new DJI App. I didn't experience any reduced performance. For the gent that said his iPad Mini 2 is now obsolete, it was so a few iterations ago. This is a bug pure and simple.

Looks like they are starting to release the high brightness model as of this morning. 5-7day shipping

I ordered the ultra bright from Advexure, the 5.5 high bright from FL drone supply and another 5.5 just now from DJI. We will see who ships first!

I don't get DJI, so far every update for my Inspire 2 since February has made my $10k investment worse not better.
I almost crashed into a rock wall due to the latest updated latency in the video feed.. It's a good thing the safety features are still working.

Then what, send the extras back or do you have a need for 3?

If you were experiencing that much latency why didn't you just hover instead of moving in the direction of the rock or change frequencies? I don't think DJI are at fault for errant piloting decisions.

Maybe you can learn how to write a competent post instead of whining. You never made clear what you're doing other than blaming DJI for latency, and your inability to avoid a rock.

Dude I did avoid the rock and maybe try reading comprehension before you make useless comments. Maybe you should not respond to my postings and have a nice day...

Bad news for me, my summer holidays fuckedup.
Thanks for information SanCap.

I have received both the 5.5" and 7.85" units from DJI for testing, and it's definitely worth the wait. The increase in brightness over my 10.5" iPad Pro really makes a big difference.

How are you finding battery life? We had demos today with the 5.5" CrystalSky and Mavic and got about 3 hours or so in 75+ heat.

It was in the mid 90s here today. In direct sun with max brightness I was getting about 2.5 hours per battery running the 7.85" model with my i2. This is running pre-production software, so it could get even better. Really nice that they include 2 batteries with the larger display.
