How to FPV

Oh boy it's a hard life with the "FreeFlight mini" Android app...
It somehow works, but often you can not establish the bluetooth connection, don't get the video on your smartphone, etc.
Therefore I tried to find a stable way to achieve my goal:
  • steer the drone via Joypad
  • get live video from the FPV camera on your smartphone 
  • use the Smartphone within the "Parrot Cockpitglasses" 
 Here a way that seems to get it run reliable:
1. Switch off the Joypad, the drone and disconnect the camera
2. Activate the Flight Mode on your smartphone
3. Start the "Freeflight mini" App
4. Activate bluetooth on your smartphone
5. Switch on the Drone
6. Just the first time: establish the pairing between your Phone and the Drone
7. Wait until the "FreeFlight mini" App recognizes the Drone
8. Connect the FPV Camera
9. Wait until the "FreeFlight mini" App asks you to configure the WIFI
10. Connect to the MAMBO_xyz wifi (that's the FPV camera)
11. Wait until the "FreeFlight mini" App re-establishes the connection to the drone. After this you should see the camera video on the lower right part of the app.
12. Press "Start" in the app and choose your "configuration" (you'll see the video of your Smartphone camera)
13. Open the configuration in the App and deactivate the automatic video recording in the "Joypad" section. This was the reason why the Video always freezed after several seconds during my first flights.
14. Switch on the Joypad - now you should see the video of the FPV camera
15. Choose the FPV mode
16. Insert your SmartPhone in the Cockpitglasses
17. Start flying and enjoy!
