Hi,
New here. Just ordered the MP Fly More kit. Not sure when it will materialize. I had ordered a Phantom 4 Pro and a range of stuff (more batts, props...) and then tooling around I discovered the MP. ! Not everything the P4 is (camera wise) but close enough and for the rest, the MP looks like a smoking hot machine. So canned the P4 and ordered the MP even though I'll have to wait a bit.
In the meantime vicariously enjoying it via the many good (and not so good) YouTube videos.
Q1: One thing I definitely want to do is record the control/displays/status on the iPhone screen as we see in many of these YT vids in order to review after the flights. Is that native to the DJI app? I don't see that mentioned. Or is that what is recorded with the record button in the DJI app?
Q2: The MP FM kit comes with a 16 GB SD - how much video time is that at various recording rates?
Q3a: Where I live the woods are pretty dense. If I fly legally (300 ft in Canada) and lose sight of the MP - what sort of range should I expect before loss of video or loss of control? For me 1 km will be ample most of the time. (I expect if the MP loses the control signals that the MP will "fly home").
Q3b: has anyone had a loss of control signal event and a complete automatic return to home?
Q4a: One or 2 of the videos I saw suggests that the MP has a fan pulling in cooling air just behind the gimbal? Is that so? If so I'm going to make a 1 m diameter rigid "landing pad" to take into the field to reduce dust ingestion.
Q4b: In the case that there is a fan, is it easy to open up the MP from time to time to clean out dust? The only "teardown" video I saw shows a lot of thermal paste...
Q5: has anyone had a catastrophic failure in flight. eg: just dies and obeys the laws of physics?
Thanks,
AB.
