Andy,
Very sharp image.
The white object top center looks like an obelisk when zoomed in. Do you know what it is?

Thank you A. Rolling them out this week - hard not to fly in this weather.

That is exactly what it is mate.

"The large Obelisk in Trent Park, North London was brought from Wrest Park by Sir Philip Sassoon in 1934 in order to impress the Duke and Duchess of Kent, honeymooning at the estate (the Duke of Kent in 1934 was the younger brother of the later King George VI, an Uncle of the reigning Queen Elizabeth II and the father of the current Duke of Kent - the Prince who gives out the main trophies at Wimbledon). A channel was carved through the forest to afford a grand view of the monument from Trent Park House."
You can just about see the house to the left of the monument. The Queen stayed here for a while at the start of WWII. The house is now being converted into apartments. One of the rooms in the house was hand painted in blue by Winston Churchill and it is where the British army imprisoned Nazi Generals caught during the war. Very historic area and now just miles of beautiful fields and one of my favorite flight areas.

Thanks Andy for verifying what I thought it was. I always zoom in on images to check out the quality and to see if I can see something that most others overlook.
I keep looking for that Pot of Gold.

Looks just a few blocks away ;)

Trent park is - central London is about 12 miles from this position.

Beautiful looking place. I am guessing the rooms will be very pricey?

I believe so seven figures per apartment for sure.

Great shot there mate! I hope those clears skies hold up for the next couple of weeks.

Have you taken the P4A+ out for a spin yet mate?

Just did that now. The range is very poor, seems that Lightbridge is nothing compared to the Mavic Pro. The only thing I enjoyed about it was the camera and the screen on the RC. It sounds like a massive swarm of bees even at 100 meters high. The Pro to me beats this hands down

That is exactly why I sold my P4P - plus arm ache carrying it. The advantage is when you get home and see the footage though - noticeably improved but it kind of ends there.

Thats is true. I am watching the footage now and its amazing but recording on 2.7k at filled up that card before the battery even ran down

The camera uses very high video bit rates and the 1" sensor takes 20mp stills as standard. I recorded in DCI 4K @ 60p a lot when I first got it and three back-to-back flights would eat up a 32gb Sandisk Extreme Pro before the end of the third flight. The file sizes were insane. That's why it takes a 128gb micro SD card I guess. Still, it's better than the Inspire 2 (in terms of smaller file sizes) which has a bit rate of 4,700MBPS in 6K using the X7 LOL and a 480gb CINESSD stick costs more than a Mavic drone...

Have been looking around ebay for a cheap Mavic Pro and seen a few going at low prices, might order 1 today. Do not think I will be able to afford the new Pro if that is what is launching next month as it will come in at around 1300 to 1500$ and will be nearly double that price for us here in South Africa. seen a Pro for $700 which is not bad

It will be quite difficult to gauge the price of the next gen MP mate. I've always said around the $1500 mark but it will depend entirely on the specs. I do not think it will be so expensive that it completely pitches itself out of the Evo price range but I can't see a brand new Mavic with a 1" sensor (if that is the case) priced the same as the current MPP. One thing is for sure, when the drone is released the price drop on the current MP will continue and it will eventually be discontinued - just like the original P4 was soon after the P4P was released.

Fomr me here $1500 equites to nearly over 20k and the local stores will sell it much more then what Dji does.

Get the MP then mate - you'll notice on here that some of the 'new MPII' posts have gained over 30,000 views - the orders will go though the roof and supply may not meet demand - could be months before you receive it after paying out that much then we'll have the FW issues later down the line - seen it before. Though the launch and distribution of the MA was very smooth so you never know.

Yup. ALways when a new product launches there will be some sort of hicup

Another great shot mate! By the way, i had my case number: CAS-1934211-K7B8T8, hope DJI can finish it soon. The one thing left i am so worry is image quality after the fix. I do not have many chances to send in and back for a fix or replacement if DJI did not test it carefully and send me a blurry/soft spot camera replacement.

May be the pro II will get closer to MP4P 2.0 but not too equally. Better camera quality, a little bigger sensor, higher bitrates, two remote controller or have bigger battery.
