You could just fit prop guards, show them the video on Tom’s Tech Time where he flies the Phantom 4 into walls and glass after fitting them. A hex or Octo has more redundancy but if it bounced off a wall you would more than likely lose at least two or more motors. You would also need battery...
It's not an exaggeration, it is a fact. You can print above 18x12 no problem, my point is that if DJI were not cropping the 20MP image and using interpolation to up-res it back to 20MP then it would be sharper and more detailed. That's just a scientific fact.
Scaling a smaller image into a...
It doesn't matter what aspect ratio you use, the problem is a physical limitation from using a lens that is unsuitable. The camera always crops the image to remove the distorted and dark corners that come with using a lens not matched well with sensor.
It is the same process as Parrot use in...
Advertising an effective 20MP is false advertising, effective resolution is the number of pixels actually used to make the image and in the case of the P4P that appears to be 17MP which is then cropped to 15MP or so then resized up to 20MP. The effective pixels then are 15MP.
If other camera...
Are you viewing the video files on the SD card or just the cached video through the Go app? The video recorded by the Go app is just the live feed, the actual recording on the SD card should be perfect.
You must be using auto white balance and it's getting confused. Use manual white balance for consistent shots.

I wonder why the image is in the wide aspect ratio, rather than the full image from the sensor? You need to see the corners to see how much the lens has been improved and the pic above has these cropped out. Is there a link to the original posts with the pics?
Good spot, the Go Pro Hero 4 apparently uses the IMX377 sensor as well, so perhaps this is what is in the P4. It could also have been in the P3P since the Hero 4 was announced in late 2014.
Looks about the same to me, you can still see noise in the blue sky and look at the mushy detail in the trees at the top right, I have seen P3P and Inspire 1 X3 photos at least as sharp as this.
The P3P/A sensor is a Sony Exmor R, very likely to be the 4K capable IMX117CQT that was released in 2012. So it's 4 year old technology. Sony don't seem to have made a new 12MP Exmor R until the IMX377 that was only announced around the same time as the P3 started shipping and is highly unlikely...
The P4 doesn't make much sense at the moment. If they do offer a 'Standard' model, what's the selling point? It will have to lack sensing technology to differentiate itself from the current P4 but there's no camera downgrade that wouldn't place it below the old P3 line. So you are looking at a...
You won't get much better image quality below the X5, all the Phantom range and original Inspire 1 cameras are fixed focus and fixed aperture with tiny sensors. Basically point and shoot quality. However the DNG files can produce stunning results if you get the exposure spot on. The fixed 2.8...
