    Why 3840 over 4096? More pixels always better?

    Because our bodies don't have input ports to see video directly from a memory card. Yet. Therefore computers matter.

    Bye. DJI

    And that's why I haven't bought a p4p or mavic. Too many bugs and worse than that is the terrible after sales DJI customer service Too much stress

    Best P4P Backpack - Safe for Travel & Hiking

    I'm on the same boat This is the most compact backpack I've found: PolarPro Dronetrekker Most tend to be close to 50 cm high, the drone trekker is about 40 cm The width and depth are all always the same. Alternatively, you could use this backpack. It holds the original Styrofoam casing...

    What computer is everyone using to edit 4K video?

    Whats the point of dropping preview resolution? I mean other than faster preview. Any downsides?

    Battery usage ??

    1- I didnt say GPS is inactive in sport mode. But GPS won't affect battery life by switching to sport mode. 2-/3 I realize sport mode is not only power to motors. I know it involves pitch and even sensitivity to pitch is affected. Meaning to change pitch in sport mode by , say , 2 degrees, will...

    Battery usage ??

    GPS has no relation to sport mode. Neither does OA. At least not necessarily. But actually, OA may also reduce battery life if , for example, dji wants to state/claim that 'we offer OA EVEN IN SPORT MODE' - as a way of being competitive. Then, the sensors would require more power to...

    Battery usage ??

    Of course Is there anything in life that doesn't deplete more resources when you've increased output?

    P4P vs mavic pro / adventure bike & compact bag

    I see. Yes. Looks more rugged than other fabric backpacks. Is it semi-hard? As if there's plastic or cardboard inside the case? Then you'd want something like this: DJI Phantom 4 Backpack - Hardshell I had a 2015 500 exc Those 500cc ktm bikes are something else.

    P4P vs mavic pro / adventure bike & compact bag

    Thank you But how is it different from other backpacks? From a cursory glance, it appears like just another backpack. But thanks. Well, you're right. A mavic with everything is not much smaller but the idea is that for weekend trips, we'll drop off luggage at a hotel. That means unbolting the...

    P4P vs mavic pro / adventure bike & compact bag

    While I'm sure you're right, but I'm confused about why it took that much more time with a phantom? Mavic: Unzip bag Unfold arms Set in floor Turn on remote Phantom Unzip bag Twist on 4 propellers Set in floor turn on remote The steps are the same, only difference is unfolding vs twisting on...

    P4P vs mavic pro / adventure bike & compact bag

    Ideally. But can't justify owning both. Money is not an issue but won't use both enough to justify owning both.

    P4P vs mavic pro / adventure bike & compact bag

    Hello everyone I realize. I know. The p4p vs mp has already been covered. But my scenario is a bit different. For all other trips, I'll have my car. So the portability factor isn't a must. I don't travel by train, bus or public transport - where portability is truly a positive factor. But I...
