Hi Dnerve
The Beta Testers have tested the new features for the P4 so there is no reason why they won't be in the new firmware. DJI would be silly not to implement these features for the P4, it would be a real kick in the guts for all the Beta Testers.
One reason for DJI to release these features on the P4A only would be to ensure that there is some more differentiation between the P4 and the P4A. At the time the beta was released to the testers there were no P4As in the public arena so beta testing on the P4 may have been their only option. It would not surprise me if DJI subsequently released any new features on the P4A only, even if the P4 beta testers were able to use it. They could always claim that the standard P4 was not able to pass the rigorous testing (even though the P4 may well be perfectly capable of running those features - it may all simply come down to marketing decisions)
I hope that hand gestures etc do find their way into any subsequent P4 firmware but it's not the end of the world if they don't. What is very frustrating, though, is that numerous posters have identified issues which appear to be associated with the release of firmware late last year and those owners have had no real indication when those issues might be addressed or, for that matter, even "if" they will be addressed. Hopefully, DJI will come to the party and release some long awaited P4 firmware very soon. |
