Transmission range is not a valid point because a clean analog video signal and Crossfire outpaces DJI enormously.&lt;p&gt;The 20 min flight time is a lie, Joshua Bardwell measured 10 minutes hovering. That&amp;#x27;s extremely easy to surpass on typical light weight 5 inch freestyle drone with a 1300mah battery that cost a fifth of the price of the DJI ones.&lt;p&gt;It is an impressive drone, but for experienced FPV pilots it&amp;#x27;s very limiting.</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;m curious to see how DJI competes with that on a digital video.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; ~5 minutes fly time -&amp;gt; ~20 minutes fly time&lt;p&gt;For FPV racing that&amp;#x27;s rather a downgrade. Ideally you&amp;#x27;d like to land with almost empty battery right after finishing the course. Any leftover charge is a dead weight that only slows you down. But then again - I don&amp;#x27;t think this drone will be used in competitive FPV racing.</text></comment>
