Maybe .. where are you flying? Urban areas are alive with interference sources. Your P4 pro should get similar range to what's advertised if you fly somewhere away from that interference. Trees between your controller and the drone will have a negative effect .. the more trees, the more effect...

It's definitely too complicated for an 8-year old.

That's a weird looking homebrew, hybrid beast. It's probably a Phantom 2 with some sort of gimbal and what looks like the camera from P2 Vision. It's not the camera from a Phantom 3 (which probably couldn''t be made to work with that drone). Even if it works, that camera has a fisheye lens and...

What a warped perspective. You have no idea what the actual problem is.

Good luck with that. S&P futures don't share your confidence.

It's well produced but also contradicts the blatant lies and propaganda in the document you suggested.

You've fallen for misinformation. Countries aren't "ripping us off" in trade and the tariff policies you've been told about just aren't true. Do you have any idea where Autel drones came from? There is so much BS being spread around this issue. I'm guessing you won't accept this, but if you...

Given how far drone technology had advanced since the days of the Phantom 2, is it really worth putting any effort into reviving it?

Longer is possible given that the Phantom 4 series started back in 2016. If they've been in storage that long, maybe not. I'm not sure what the supply of batteries for the Phantom 3 series is like, but that might be a problem for you. If the batteries are working, it would probably take an...

This is identical to the cameras of the other Mavic 4 pro series. The "better geotagging" isn't a camera feature, it's the GPS unit in the drone. It's only "better" if you actually need to carry out survey grade mapping. But that was possible before RTK if you used Ground Control Points anyway...

Sorry ... no idea what that is The drone's GPS data has always been saved saved in the image metadata. Is that the same thing? No DJI consumer drone has ever has a 35mm (35mm equiv) lens. The Phantom 4 pro series always had a 24 mm equiv lens.

The cameras look the same. If you put their specs side by side, they are identical. It's unlikely that DJI created a new camera when they already had a fine camera. What are the improved capabilities you think the newer cameras have.?

To get the facts on DJI's compass, what calibration actually does and when it might be needed, read the first post in this thread: https://mavicpilots.com/threads/a-short-explanation-of-compass-function-calibration-and-errors.90792/

That's not true at all. If you attempt to startup close to steel items and your compass warns you about it, there's no problem with your compass and recalibrating it won't ever solve the problem it;s warning you about. The correct action in that case is to switch off, move away from the problem...
