I can only speak from personal experience, but my cousin and I ordered our P4's approximately 2 weeks apart. He ordered his on March 15 (release date), and I followed him 2 weeks later. We are BOTH experiencing this same drop, and they have both been doing it from day one! For me, it happens at low altitude, as well as high altitude (up to 400' AGL), so I don't THINK it has anything to do with the Visual positioning system...
I realize this is a new product, and so it is likely to experience some growing pains, but judging from what I've seen one SEVERAL forums, this is not an isolated incident. On the Phantom Pilots forum, there are literally DOZENS of P4 owners experiencing this same problem.
And, I've heard rumors of a firmware fix for this situation, but at this point, they seem to be only rumors. I HOPE this can be fixed by firmware, because if this is a hardware or flight model problem, this could spell doom for DJI. I've already seen reports of mass returns to Apple stores, as well as returns direct to DJI.
And, even if you choose to keep your P4, but it must go back for some sort of fix, this could bankrupt DJI. I would much have preferred to wait a few more months and purchase a product that functioned correctly, then to purchase a device that is CLEARLY not yet ready for release. Sometimes, scooping the competition can backfire on you, and this MAY be the case here...
