Video feed delay problem

I got my Phantom 2 Vision (P2V) about a week ago and have been loving it. It's perfect for the beginner.

But... I'm having some issues and I'm wondering if this is just the way it is and I have to work around them or is there a problem.

1. The video feed will sometimes, not all the time, be delayed for up to 30 seconds. For example; I landed it and shut it down. I looked at my video and noticed that on my video it was still descending. Other times I'll be flying and I will turn it. I can see that it has actually turned but on the video feed it will still be going straight and then turn about 5-10 seconds later. This could be disastrous if I get in a situation where I am depending on the feed for navigation.

2. File size. If the video I'm recording is too big (1.5 gig for example) then for some reason my computer doesn't read it. I have two computers and neither will play the video. I've even tried it from the SD card and it is a no go. I've also tried playing it with several programs and none of them like it. They all say they don't recognize the file format. All smaller video files are fine. I just make sure I stop and start recording every few minutes so I can keep the file size down.

I've been recording on 1080/60. I'm wondering if that might have something to do with it but it really shouldn't.

I have another camera that automatically breaks up video into small segments so it keeps the file size down. If you record for an hour straight you will end up with 4 video files. When put together in a video editor, they are seamless and you don't notice they are different files. Something DJI may want to consider.

Easy? You call that easy?
Why would this be something DJI should consider?

What video transmission are you using? It sounds like you're using a Gopro and possibly the wireless video from that. The problem is your gopro wireless/bluetooth.

You should not have any delay using a proper video system.

I'm using a Phantom 2 Vision... P2V!

They should consider it so it doesn't result in the problem I'm having with my Phantom 2 vision.

Ah, the Vision. You're at the mercy of the iPhone wireless. There will always be a delay. It's funny how DJI never mention this.
