AeroScope uses the existing communications link between a drone and its remote controller to broadcast identification information such as a registration or serial number, as well as basic telemetry, including location, altitude, speed and direction. Police, security agencies, aviation...

Low Battery RTH Warning and Critical Battery Warning are different things though. I have seen flights where the critical battery warning (and now landing) was triggered at 25% when the aircraft was at ~400 metres height, despite the critical battery warning set to 10%.

Range seems to be reduced with latest firmware. Crooked horizon does seem to be fixed though.

What was your altitude? I have heard anecdotally that the critical battery level is dependent on height. I.e. the higher you are, the higher the threshold is.

Some 4G towers use 5.8ghz so may cause issues.

Make sure the NFZ data is up to date. I had this same issue. I had to connect my P4P+ to a laptop and update with DJI Assistant 2 a couple of times. Worked ok after this.

From my non-expert analysis it looks to be inconclusive(?).

This is old news: P4P image not true 20MP

You mean 3m/sec, not 3ft/sec.

Good, concise review. I guess we will have to wait for the P5 for full Phantom compatibility:(. With only the HDMI connection, I guess the touchpad on the goggles doesn't work? I guess too that with the P4P+ you don't need the HDMI module?

Is there any plans to apply this to the P4Pro+ too?

Allows updates to NFZ, not requires. They know people fly with iPads etc. with no connection so don't think they will make it mandatory.

It comes with "on-board software that mitigates shake and shutter roll". I guess this is electronic stabilization? I.e. what you see commonly in phones?

The CE range looks to be severely crippled versus the FCC (500m vs 2km).

This is probably a stupid question, but why is the hover time less than the flight time? Max Flight Time 16 minutes (no wind at a consistent 12.4 mph (20 kph)) Max Hovering Time 15 minutes (no wind)
