What's my take on this after today? I love the phantom 4 for finally having what looks like a shell that can take the heat. I really dig the speed. Not just in sport mode, but newbie assist off P mode. But the FPV should be as good if not better than prior. After all, nobody bought a 991 series 911 to go slower than a 997. And hell, even Porsche fesses up on their screw ups. Trust me, I know because I live half the year in the family's home town where the videos above were made. As for the flight duration, I'm biased. Yeah, I'm bugged that my mountain flights are lasting not a minute longer with the phantom 4, but I can take it. Turning around from having candle light bridge on the P4 instead of proper light bridge, to me sucks a lot more. If DJI had said "phantom mode itself will be 3 mph faster on average but still at the same flight time, OK. Catch is they didn't.
Anyway, while maybe I could more flight time out of my phantom 4 if maybe I tried harder, longer FPV range has been impossible after one week of trying. Maybe if I were on an FCC phantom 4. Maybe. But then again, that would also mean an FCC phantom 3.
On a side note, I bound my phantom 3 GL300B controller to my phantom 4. I noticed better FPV.
