So it is actually a down and then to the left or down and then to the right on the throttle stick. OICN
well and of course down and to the center or outside with the other stick.

If landing, yes. You should not push the right stick down. If just doing a CSC for emergency purposes, then skip the throttle down and go directly to the corners.
What does? I mentioned two different methods.
Why are you pushing both sticks down before doing the CSC? You can safely test this with the props off. There is no need to keep them on since you can hear the motors rev up (if they do).
Man, I'm telling ya!
If I do exactly what your illustration with the blue arrows shows, a set of motors rev BEFORE they shut off.
Don't know if it just my P3P or all of them. I can post a video if it is still not clear.
Correct. The motors will most certainly rev if you don't hold the throttle in the full down position before doing the CSC.

So I just recorded this a minute ago. Turn up the volume and listen to the motors. CSC start-idle-CSC-Rev-slight delay-shutdown. Twice.
So I get concurrence by TAZ. And here is a video of exactly what I am talking about, you can hear the motors rev.
Per your video, the motors stop in about .6 seconds. That doesn't give the Phantom much time to fly wildly out of control. In reality, it's going to drop like a rock.This thing needs and EMERGENCY STOP
It has any emergency stop and we have been talking about it.So I am pretty sure a mid-air CSC will send the P3 wildly out of control, rolling to the right or rolling to the left. Recovering the thing mid-air from any altitude would be totally in the hands of the flight stabilization software and hardware. It is time for a GoFundMe for a couple experimental units. It's not going to my my P3P, that's for sure.
So back on topic, This thing needs and EMERGENCY STOP
Same goes for a running lawn mower...don't ask me how I know!!I peed on an electric fence as a kid, I've not had much love for electricity since then
How long does it take you to move the sticks from the centre to the outside edge?So I am pretty sure a mid-air CSC will send the P3 wildly out of control, rolling to the right or rolling to the left.

In an emergency situation you don't ease the sticks gradually.
The motors stop the instant the sticks reach the CSC position.
You aren't going to find anything quicker.
In the instant it takes to flick the sticks to CSC, the Phantom isn't going to go anywhere.
It isn't going to have time to be sent wildly out of control, rolling to the right or rolling to the left.
So back on topic - the Phantom has an emergency stop.
Hate to tell you but what you are counting is the time for the motors to come to a full stop.Hate to tell ya @Meta but if you watch the video I posted it probably takes 100 milliseconds or less for my fingers to move the sticks to CSC and an additional 600 milliseconds for the motors to shut down

If you CSC in the air, gravity will do its thing and the Phantom will begin to fall like a stone well before the motors stop spinning.
CSC is as close to instant as you will find. Whatever kind of switch you used the motors at high revs will take some time to come to a stop but the Phantom is falling well before that.
