Thank you for the data. It's super helpful.
P4 vs P3P
From my own testing I've found my data to be convincing to me that the battery life is better by several minutes in any mode, best with no wind and in P mode obviously.
FIRST OFF
DJI lied about P3P flight time! Shocked? Not really.
I consistently get 13-18 minutes on my P3P depending on aggressiveness and conditions.
Here's my NEW P4 data:
P-mode only: 25 min 25% battery
With CA off and no aggressive flying (full stick in any direction) I got significantly more time in the air at about 25 min 25% battery. I'm sure if I went to 0% I could easily get 28 minutes!
Mixed P and mostly Sport: 20 min 25% battery
I fly mostly aggressive full stick in P mode and sport mode with CA on by default and with windy conditions temp of 50F and total 29,000 ft distance 395 ft altitude with many changes and I got to 20 min and 25% battery and I wasn't even trying to go for time/battery.
ALL SPORT: 16 min 25% battery
Windy conditions, 42 deg F, very aggressive flying 395 ft altitude to ground level several times, and total distance of 27,000 ft.
