Smart Controller V1 screen video buffering, but not on stored video on SD card.

Looking to see if anyone else has had this experience while using a SC. Mine is V1, but might happen on a V2 also. After doing an over air firmware upgrade to the latest version, I started to notice that the video as displayed on the monitor would "buffer" the feed for a few milliseconds. Later, when viewing the stored video on the SD card, all was perfectly normal. Kinda rules out the aircraft as the cause of the problem. Yesterday I screen recorded this happening, and here is a link to the video SC screen buffer

So, I downloaded the apk file for the Autel Explorer app onto a USB drive and then reinstalled it onto the SC. Went out a few minutes ago, and voila, no buffering in the screen video.

But I did notice that the Channel mode had defaulted to 2.4, so prior to flight, i reset to Auto mode. Went back and watched the capture video from yesterday, and after the last over air update, the channel reset to 2.4. I always leave it in Auto channel mode.

And, I have noticed that the right antennae needs to be snugged up once unfolding and bringing to the upright position when using a CCW rotation to get into place. I check both to make sure they are snug, could I have not tightened it enough? Once possibly, but every time flying since the update, unlikely.

So, any thoughts or experiences with this presently or in the past? I lean toward a bad OTA update last go around with the SC, but the Channel mode might be an issue?

I noticed the same thing after the update, but haven't done anything about it because I've noticed it after every update. It has always gone away by itself after a while. My guess is that it smooths out after caching some system files.

If it doesn't go away after a while I suppose I'll reinstall and see if that clears it up.

Just want to say thanks to all for sharing

I experience this too with both buffering and right antenna

Would be nice if autel or anyone could offer some advice
