So I've got the RC Pro coming in the mail. I'm going to live stream among other things. But I'm curious if anyone has ever used the HDMI port for an external recorder like an Atomos ninja or similar? Seems possible in my head but wanted to check. If no one knows I'll post an answer after I get the controller and start playing with it

The mini HDMI port can be used to port out the video with or without telemetry. What you do with the output is up to you. Nothing should restrict the recording of it.

I guess more so what I'm asking is will it be full recording resolution 4k30p or will it be at the 1080p controller resolution going into the recorder?

AFAIK RC Pro does not receive 4K video via OccuSync O3+ during flight. From the manual:
"RC Pro features O3+ video transmission technology, capable of sending a 1080p/60fps live feed from up to 15 km away and latency as low as 120 ms."
I have not tested the HDMI output format myself but based on the above I doubt the external recording would be in 4K 30fps

Only the 1080p of the controller resolution. The full recording 4K30p quality can only be stored to the microSD card in the drone for later retrieval.
