I just recently went into settings on my Matrice 4 E and upped Normal and Sport mode to the maximum settings allowed.

It did allow me to set Sport mode to 33 meter/second or 73.8 mph.

While it did not go 73.8 mph even with a decent tailwind, it did go 68 mph.
This was with the low noise propellers, so I will try again with the "normal" propellers.

I was just a little bit surprised since my Mavic 2's only got to 50 mph with some good tailwinds.
I had just flown my Avata 2, although only with the Motion Controller and the Matrice put it to shame in top speed.

Because you know the Avata whenever you using the MC cannot fly in manual mode and is limited to sport mode which has a much lower speed capability. I may or may not agree with what DJI has done but they don’t allow an FPV drone to fly super fast using the MC that is meant for the ultimate in maneuverability.

I didn't realize that.

You will twist your arm off!! :p
 
Not sure on the 3.
Constant high speed flight will strain your Batteries if you do it enough times to the same battery you can damage it Just don't apply full throttle all the Time. I saw an FPV in Manual Flame up and fall out of the sky because of this.

Perhaps you could clarify this.
There's nothing wrong with flying at full right stick (elevator) with DJI consumer drones.
Flying at full left stick (throttle) won't hurt anything either.

In general, DJI photo drones doesn't draw amps to the same degree as FPV Acro quads... but full stick commands will cause voltage drops even on photo drone batteries & it's worse if both the elevator & the throttle is maxed out at the same time.

If the battery is healthy & haven't degraded internal resistance wise, the voltage drop shouldn't be a problem... but if the battery is older & worn and also used in not so favorable conditions (like really hot or cold ambient temp) the voltage can be pushed below 3,0V/cell... which first cause a forced low voltage landing & then damaging the battery further.

Very soon! Although I will venture into manual mode with a homebuilt unit with O4.

The Avata is needed for work, so I don't want to risk it.
My previous fpv experience was home built and analog. The range and clarity with dji's latest offerings are crazy good by comparison.
