the advanced is only 1080p
This Hobby is truly ageless , but not to long ago using a model airplane or difficult helicopter you had to be somewhat knowledgeable to have any chance of a successful flight.
I've seen my dad and his friends crash a few when I was little.
Well said! Great post ! I completely agree!!! [emoji41]Well - kinda, sorta, maybe - hmmm - as to seeing a clear difference between 1080p and 4k resolution.
If you are seated or standing at the same distance away from the same sized screen watching 1080p then watching 4k - it's your brain that's saying "hey that looks better in 4k" when in fact your eyes focal point can't detect that unless your distance from the screen is different (i.e. the higher the resolution the closer you need to sit for your eyes to detect a significant or even a relatively small difference in picture quality".)
Our eyes only use a very small part for viewing accurately - density of receptors in our eyes are heavily concentrated at the center as to focus. The way the human eyes work however is to unconsciously move around a focal point from one interesting spot to another. Focusing on the full area of interest (screen) all at once is not as important as long as the area in focus has lots of detail. The centre focal area (can't remember the actual % or angle used lol) anyway, the rest of the eye just does not focus and actually blurs out those areas - hence the reason for sitting closer to truly detect any differences and hence the need for our brains to tell us "hey it's better".
Ok enough of this.......getting carried away........back to Phantom info and help!
Here's a chart that will help understand where we would get the real true effect from our eyes when viewing higher resolution versus standard or hd.

I'm 58 and have grown up with RC airplanes (I still fly those too). I cannot imagine what it will be like in 2060..WoW..!!!Wow great story, I'm happy you have a DJI again and you like it. I have the bug too, So my question is , I wonder what model will be out when I'm your age sir in 2060? [emoji6]
****...I'm 58 and have grown up with RC airplanes (I still fly those too). I cannot imagine what it will be like in 2060..WoW..!!!
**** reminds me of this old song from the sixties...
This is what I like about being the older gentleman. Almost retired.
Got a shitload of money saved. I can just go out and buy the bad bird.
Unfortunately, I have a wife. She does not see things the same way. LOL
And I love her to death. So, Guess what.....No Inspire for me....
Momma must be happy too. Like I said, I love her to death. Been married for almost 40 years and would not trade one day away from her. I suppose if I really wanted the Inspire and gave her that pouty face, she would even buy it for me....LOL
Your dad sounds like a guy with his head screwed on right. And he does need that intake, its a necessity, IMOBeing happy with what I have. Is it just human nature or does my obsessions with tech specs control my mind? Everytime I see price drop of the P3P or P3A I want one. Awe 4K , LightBridge , proximity sensors , gold stickers why!!! I feel sad because I have a introductory level inexpensive P3S[emoji17].
Then a moment of clarity and advice from my dad, He said " Really, you fly it miles away (actually only a little over a mile FPVLR Mod) most of the time you're not even manually flying it or watching it for that fact (AutoPilot App) you're glued to a video screen live feed HD camera that's mounted to it. Not to mention we don't even have a TV around here , out of five that is stout enough to play 2.7K (1080p LED only ) girl your eyes can't even see much better than that to boot. You don't need another Phantom!" I started to see his point ...... Until this morning he was showing his buddies his new custom intake manifold from Marcella . Like he needs that!!!
