I use phantoms for research documenting the behaviour of small whales. I fly P3pro but I am often challenged by the quality of the video downlink to the controller. In summary the quality cost me data. I fly over water, and very often experience a kind of mild jpeg blockiness of the image. I think it is due to the drone percieving the surface as uniform and try to save bandwidth. BUT in fact it very much reduces the resolution i can use to track the animals, and i loose them from sight even though i can see them clearly in the video later. I have tried all the tricks of custom quality settings, i have even exchanged antennas on controller with long range antennas. No effect.
SOO my main issue when wanting a new drone is absolute quality of video downlink i can see on the ipad or other platform, the pilots live feed, in lack of the proper lingo please help...
Anyhow i have heard implied that the video link on the mavic may in fact be superior to the p4pro.. BUT i actually would prefer the p4pro since i have to hand catch the drone, legs are better for that. So if anyone has both, and especilly tried the p4pro on the water, filming straight down so only water surface fills the field of view I am very curious to hear what pilot feed quality you get. I am really uncertain how the two models compare. I can read that the mavic has occusync, and the other lightbridge but which gives the highest quality downlink ??
Hope someone can help before i have to make the investment.
