I think it it's about 18-22mph

Why not advertise the minimum amount you can get?
Instead DJI puts down an impractical 28 minutes flight.
How about this for next time:

'The P% can fly a minimum of 25 minutes under "X" mode""

That would be something good to know...I wonder if DJI already calculated this an implemented it into the RTH speed...?

28 minutes with everything turned off how is that ideal?

I don't see it as whining but just being honest. What do you think the forum is for-to blow DJI's horn for not being honest about this?  It was a good test but the test was conducted in parameters that the P4 is not advertised under.

I love the P4, but lets be honest here, in order to get the advertised flight time you have to almost double your battery expenses and these batteries are not cheap!  I fly mine as much as possible but in order to get enough time to enjoy it I have to use 3 batteries that gives me about 40-45 minutes of actual flight time.  I spend at least 10-15 minutes landing to replace batteries during this time.  In all honesty, I had already purchased the P3 pro when I learned about the battery life of the P4 and quickly returned the P3.  I am glad I purchased the P4 for other reasons but the battery life is not one of them!
