Flight Times

[60Cents]

I'm curious. Is anyone achieving the flight times on the Matrice 4E that DJI is advertising?
I'm getting around 26, 27 minutes per flight while recording video.
Anyone else?

I do not get anywhere near what DJI claims for flight times with any DJI drone.
I assume they must bring the battery down to very low levels.

I try to be on the ground at 20% but may dip to 15% if I am flying close by.

I have several 31 minute flights and also a large amount of 25 to 29 minute flights.

This is with the low noise propellers.
Has anyone tested if the standard or low noise propellers have longer flight times?

Jaja, for me it depends on weather conditions. More wind less time, higher humidity and lower atmospheric pressure less time. And if I'm In sport mode with high wind even less flight time. And yes the low noise props get less flight times as they are fatter and take more power to grab air. Less efficient. Now just for fun I flew inside a gymnasium once. I got better flight times per battery but nothing near the dji specs. And jaja, I didnt notice a huge noise level difference between the low noise props and the standard props. It may be just me but I wasn't too impressed.

The flight times they advertise are basically how long they can fly before dropping out of the sky in a
windless environment at the most efficient speed. They are not real world. Pretty standard for this kind of stuff.
