There are two controller options. One with an optimized android running Go.. No word on if you can run anything else on it but I'm guessing not. The other is the same as always, plug in YOUR device and run whatever app you want.

A few minutes reading the release answers a lot.

Afternoon, Ken, and thanks for your replies to both my posted questions re the P4 Pro.  One regarding camera rotation, and the other regarding features.

Couple follow-ups for clarification:

1) Does the P4 Pro have all the features of the Mavic Pro?  I know I asked this, but I'm not sure if this was one of the questions you were not able to answer, or if you overlooked it.

2) Another question that might fall into the former category is regarding if the P4 Pro front props get in the view of the camera when at high speed.  From reviews I've seen about the P4 (pre Pro), they do.  And, one of the features pointed out about the Mavic is that they do not.  So, given that it appears that the P4 Pro has the same airframe dimensions and camera location as the P4, would it be fair to say that, yes, the P4 Pro front propellers will also get in the view of the camera?

Finally, I'd pass on Sandra, I heard she has balls...

So many responses from you and replies to post, so little time!  ;-)

Thank you so much, Antonov, for all of them and all of the information.  There was a lot of great information there.  (Well, except that whole Sandra Bullock having balls thing kinda shook me ... not that there's anything wrong with that!)

Naturally, being provided so much information, it is inevitable that information begets more questions.  So, if I'm not "overstaying my welcome," I've combined here some follow-ups to your various posts:

1) That first video was a good overview, but perhaps even more of a hoot.  That guy also has a good sense of humor.  But, he has a funny accent.  ;-)

2) So, do I understand correctly that the Litchi can be used for both a smart device screen and goggles?  And, when using the Goggles is there always a stereo view, or do the images combine into one?

3) In the first video, the frequent battery level announcement, which seemed to come every 1% or 2%, is quite annoying.  Is that Litchi's doing, and can it be set to change the frequency of announcements?  (E.g., only every 5% drop.)

4) Noting that the videos are somewhat dated, and that both the Mavic Pro and P4 Pro are new, do you have any idea if either the Litchi and/or the Autopilot can be used with either the Mavic Pro and/or P4 Pro?

5) In the second video, near the end the narrator made reference to if using either the Litchi or Autopilot and one gets away from the Go App, neither will "record your program."  What does that mean?  Prior to this statement he had made reference to flight points or some such thing that sounded like it is a DJI incentive program.  So, it sounded like his won't record program comment could be related to this, or to recording all flight data recording for flight reviews.  Can you comment on his comment, and these two suppositions?

Regards, Gary

Oh, by the way, I've now installed the Litchi CAPS LOCK app on my Mac, both MacBooks, both iPads, and my iPhone.  And it works flawlessly on all devices!  THANKS, AGAIN!

Oops, forgot to respond to this one.

Yeah, I hear you re the shortcomings of the Syma.

However, I did order the Mavic Pro Fly More Combo on 20 October.  It was the first drone that inspired me to want to get into this.  So, I got the Syma a couple weeks after I placed my order so I could "get my feet wet" on flying a quad.

I figured that if I could drive a jalopy (or "old banger" as you Brits across the pond would say!), then I could certainly drive a roadster with power steering!  All in all, it's been a good experience, and for me the right thing to do.

But, I'm now ready for the real deal, the elegance, performance, and ease of flying of a "grown-up" drone.

If only DJI would cooperate in that endeavor ...  ;-)

1) It has more features than the Mavic, much better camera, rear & side avoidance, Smart RTH that will follow the same route if that's the best way.

2) Yes, the P4 is sport mode would be the same as the P4 Pro in sport mode. Easy fix, don't video in Sports mode, if you have to then tilt the camera down until it's out of the way of the props.

Ken, to your comment "Phantom 4 Pro does not use the old LightBridge system", I saw this on the P4 Pro sales page:

"The Lightbridge HD video transmission system used in the Phantom 4 Pro uses TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) to transmit signals, allowing it to send controller signals and receive video transmission signals at the same frequency."

Do you mean to differentiate between a prior version of Lightbridge and a new version?  Or, as it seems to sound, the P4 Pro does, in fact, use the "old" Lightbridge system?

All Lightbridge and OcuSync uses the the same frequency for RC/video.
I'll say it one more time, it is not the same system, the new system uses 2.4 / 5.8 and the P4 RC (WILL NOT) work with the P4 Pro.

That is correct, you can use it with other aircraft.
Maybe you should wait for the DJI NanoDrone, and you can hide that inside of your pack of cigarettes.
No RC needed, you stick a pad on your temple and have full RC control with your thoughts
It's amazing how technology has advanced, I bet someday that will be possible.
