Speed Accuracy Dji Go4?

[Shaw10]

Just wondered how accurate the speed reading displayed on the Go4 app? Do you think a 63mph is correct with wind behind it?

63 mph is way too fast. It should never be flying that fast even with wind. The Mavic limits itself to 70kph with wind and 65kph without.

Please upload your flight log so we can check too.

I believe the app has a mistake. It's using kph.

I doubt that is the correct speed.
Next time you see a questionable speed like that, glance up to the RC and check the speed displayed there. RC displays the speed the aircraft is sending to the RC, before it gets interpreted by the DJIGo4 app and is generally reliable.

Thanks for the replies, I did an upload and saw the log which stated my actual max speed reached 44.5mph

Android or IOS? I'm betting Android

It's an android bug. Watch your speed on the controller. I'll bet it's different than the app's displayed speed.

You were flying in wind speeds of 28.6 km/h.

Your max speed was 70.60 km/h.

Where do I look for the wind speed in the log?

It's a calculated value based on the flight logs. HealthyDrones calculated it for me.

Yeah the bug is specific to Android DJIGo when using imperial units. Instead of displaying MPH, it very obscurely displays feet per second (FPS). Hence your actual 44.5mph display as 65 and is labelled incorrectly as mph on DJIGo only. Many people around here including myself thought this to be a kmh conversion. This would be incorrect. It has been pointed out by an observant person that it is in fact FPS. (mph x 1.466)
Anyway just use the RC MPH speed.
