Just a bit of further explanation. THe FPV video from the aircraft is sent back by radio from the aircraft to the controller so you can see what the camera is seeing, but because of radio channel limitations, it does not send back a full reolution version of the signal. For most aircraft, it sends back a 720 x 1280 version, usually known as 720p. For the P4P, it can be a 1080 x 1920 or 1080p feed. This video is used on the display so you can see the camera output, and, if you select the cache option, is saved to the memory of the phone. A 4K version is never sent to the phone.
The 4K clip is only recorded on the SD card in the aircraft, nowhere else. In order to view the 4K video, you either have to connect a USB cable to the aircraft and download the file to an external computer, however this is not that easy with any Apple product because they make you jump through hoops to make the connection, much easier with a PC. Alternatively, you can pop the SD card out of the aircraft, place the micro SD card in a full size adapter, then plug it into an SD card reader and copy the file off the card to your computer. Then you will be able to play back the 4K file, providing your computer has enough horsepower for the job.
The file you posted has either gone through some file conversion process, or it is not the real file from the SD card, because it is 720 x 1280 at a bit rate of 2.1 Megabits per second, which is way too low a bitrate for decent quality viewing, hence the fuzziness. I would suggest your camera is fine and does not have a fault, you are simply looking at the wrong file. If you remove the SD card and look at it, you will most likely find the correct file.
