Is it just me or does the P4P+ seem slightly quieter than the P4?  I don't have testing equipment to check this, but it does seem slightly quieter in the air.  

It's ~3dB quieter. (Or so my test shows)

Wonder why DJI has adopted those bent stealth blades that some military helicopters have.  Blue Edge (??) or something to cut noise.  These things are buzzy!

Ok.  I did notice that right away.  Just making sure that is was.

OK I thought I was just losing hearing.  I 'thought' this P4P seemed a tiny bit quieter.  NAMELY the angry bee swarm sound is gone.  It sounds more like, well...  a flying drone now - serious.

How is this possible with same props/motors?  The new flight controller changes the rotational speeds or something???

I'm curious about this too.. Maybe the spring loaded mounts.. I am going to upgrade my P4 with those when they become available anyways.

Somehow it's gotta be the new flight controller then??  This P4P sure seems to BRAKE with some serious authority.  It gets nearly sideways (downward sensors are now looking forward)!

I read in the manual that there was enhanced braking on it.. Can't wait till someone does a comparison video on YouTube between the two.

Coolest part is you cannot tell ONE BIT on the footage how violent the braking actually was!

Cost to manufacture and quite possibly physics.

They could Q-tip them though for cheap.  Just an update to the current mold.

*Q-tipped blades would sharply curve 90 degrees inwards a few millimeters or so.  Stops the sonic boom caused from the tips going supersonic.  HOWEVER, I'm not sure the tips on the P4P reach that speed so it might be moot.
