Thank you for posting this...

I'm more than happy to use your average of 20 minutes as a realistic flying time for my drone...

For recreational use it is not very useful to know this value, except to reassure the novice DJI user who does not understand why his flight time and autonomy of the RC are far from the time announced in the advertisement.  

For use in mapping it is essential as information.

You are still speaking absolute nonsense about this after a week of having it explained to you.
It's quite simple, but it's obvious that you are never going to understand.
How about giving up on your silly game.
It's a total waste of forum space.

What I think is that you looked at your flight log, and you realized that yes the flight times are linear.  

We're not going to make a drama out of it.  Nobody likes to be wrong.  

Look at the flight logs I uploaded and admit it, or else kid yourself.  But stop commenting negatively on what you don't understand.  

Besides, every time the app asks me to calibrate the compass, every 50 km +/-, I think about what you want to "teach" me.  Once again, a lot of talk from you, but the facts are there.  Flight log in support.  If you don't want to open your eyes and persist in your beliefs, that's your choice.

On my side I bring data, you don't bring anything.  The real waste is there.  Show me flight data that proves otherwise and we'll talk, because iam ready to change my point of view, but not based on blah blah.  Otherwise, please let the adults talk to each other.

I think about what you want to "teach" me.  
And I learned that it's impossible to teach you anything, just as demonstrated in this pointless thread.

I wouldn't waste any more effort attempting to convince you of anything.
You've showed again and again that you cannot follow any explanation and just don't want to change your mind about anything.

Lab, it's sad because it's not a matter of convincing me or not. I am convinced that a data exchange would have been interesting.

Mine can last up to 2 hours easy.

Really, you've got to be kidding!

I have flown my Mavics with the DJI RC and have run 3 Mavic batteries down to nothing and the DJI RC still had 3 bars!

Are you sure you are running with a full charge?

I would suggest you follow DJI Gamora's recommendation and send it in for inspection and or repair.

Actually there's no need to ask them. In the US the EPA reviews every car manufacturer's claims. Then they go on to test 15%-20% of those vehicles on their own. Either way there's a third party to verify a car manufacturer's reported claims. In the case of DJI, there's no such review. DJI reports a number with no evidence to show or outside review of ANYTHING. You see the difference? For all we know this 46 minute flight could have began at 8000' MSL and touched down at sea level. If you calculate the numbers DJI is reporting this test flight travelled 24.84 km which makes this not so far fetched of an idea.

Spot on homie! Let capitalism run its course. If any company makes better drones than DJI everyone will buy from them and DJI will go down.
