Is there any way to record the specs (Altitude, Distance, GPS Signal, etc) on the video itself. I'm just learning how to use it, and this would be super helpful as I go back and review the footage.

Thanks!
 
In Video Settings turn on 'Captions'
You will then have a separate 'sidecar' file with a .SRT extension.

Play your footage in a subtitle capable player and you will get following output:

(Depending on aircraft type the contents of the subtitles may differ)

You can get some of it by enabling caption. It then records telemetry in an SRT file. Many video players can play SRT caption files along with the video. Height is in meters from sea level as determined by GPS. Not sure why DJI switched to that. My P3 records height in meters from takeoff based on barometer in that file.

edit: looks like Keule beat me to it.
