I flew two full batteries this evening and was in and out of S-mode a half dozen times including one continuous 7,000 foot flight back and forth over man-made lakes at a local park at full throttle (average speed of 42 mph) the entire time. Gimbal performance and video quality was superb. Gimbal tilt was adjusted so that horizon was very near the top of video frame, so tilted slightly down from straight forward. No limp gimbal issues in S-mode here.
Also, I discovered that the P4 can fly at 37 mph in P-mode if you turn obstacle avoidance OFF. I call this P-Fast mode. I flew a long-distance flight 23,652 feet (4.5 miles) out and then back same distance to home point with the throttle at max. (avg. horizontal velocity of 37 mph) the entire time except for brief bits at the beginning, middle and end of this 16-minute round-trip flight. Gimbal performance was stable and flawless and I also panned the camera down and back up to near horizontal smoothly a half-dozen times. Again, no limp gimbal issues in P-Fast mode either. |
