Or on the BeachBut how often could u ever get that range? I hardly ever got that far maybe if u live in the desert.

Ha!!! Stilled want a good guide for the P2.K...it'd be nice if they released some documentation.
From what I've heard, CSC is pretty much universal on all UAVs. Kinda like a steering wheel and a brake pedal.
People don't usually know that's what happens by the mere accidental nature of it. They think their bird just fell out of the sky....actually, not.
I flew a Walkera QR x350 pro for about a year. Arming the motors for that quad is left stick (throttle) down and to the left...shutting them down is the same move. BTW, there was never any discussion, or instance as far as I know of accidentally disabling the motors in flight.
DJI didn't do anything to the P3s.The P4 stated range is the same as the current model P3 Pro/Advanced models (5K - 3.1 miles). I believe originally the P3 Pro/Advanced range was listed as 2K. Not sure what DJI did in later models to boost the range 2.5x?
DJI didn't do anything to the P3s.
They just updated their conservative specs to reflect the real range users were getting.

It has the same stated range as the P3P, DJI has changed what the P3P/A range is on the website. When the P3 was first released they had a stated range of 1.2 miles but the P3 users showed that this was not an accurate estimate of it's capabilities. The P4 controller has an increase of 3 dBm over the P3P/A in FCC mode and 1 dBm increase in CE mode. I don't know the specs for power output on the video transmitter but when I would lose signal with my P3P it was video signal and I never lost control signal. So even though the controller has an increased power output, I think that will just help to stay in control of the bird, not increase the capable distance unless you don't mind flying without video feed.It said it had light bridge. And according to the. The range is now 3.1 miles. I bet some
One will push it 5miles out.

The FAA only rules the airspace in a small part of the world.I am, in fact, rather surprised that DJI marketing is tweaking the FAA's nose, so to speak, buy showing videos and expounding on capabilities that clearly do not adhere to the FAA's 'recommendations'.
True, but the USA is a big, really big market. And it seems all of our Poodles, err, friends have similar restrictions.The FAA only rules the airspace in a small part of the world.
DJI are selling well beyond FAA territory.
From the latest P4 release notes:CSC is exactly the same as the P3.
Finally, hopefully, we'll stop hearing that debate over CSC and the users that patronize others for " must be flying like monkeys " just because they think it makes no sense that a simple stick placement can shut down the motors mid air.From the latest P4 release notes:
"Changed procedure for stopping motors during flight. To stop motors during flight, pull the left stick to the bottom inside corner while simultaneously pressing the Smart RTH button. This new procedure will only become available when Remote Controller firmware is updated to the latest version."
New pilots don't know those things though. And, most pilots do not have an advanced understanding of how the Phantom works. Case in point -- how many advanced pilots are accidentally doing a CSC mid-flight?Pilots are supposed to know how to control their aircraft. Don't pull right stick into that tree. Don't pull down & crash onto the ground.

Db, I understand you were programmed to know CSC (you and many others probably have it engraved since the p1's), but it's not a good feature and that is why DJI is moving away from it.Change only seems to apply to P4. P3 & earlier aircraft still work the old way. P3S & earlier craft have no RTH button. Now we have different methods for emergency shutdown procedure across various models.
Pilots are supposed to know how to control their aircraft. Don't pull right stick into that tree. Don't pull down & crash onto the ground. Don't do a CSC & shut down your motors mid flight. JMHO
