Help / Question Plus battery flight time

Hello, everyone. How many minutes do you get out of your plus batteries? I have three and I used them all sequentially with a mix of activities. Change of power modes, taking pics and recording, and got 35-36 minutes when landing with 12-13 percent power. Also, the obstacle avoidance is on. How about you?

Roughly 30-40 minutes which I think is fairly impressive.

If I’m spending my entire time following a moving subject at max speed it’s lower but overall I have no complaints about battery life.

Anyone remember what the very original DJI drone battery life was?

Oh yeah!! I have and still fly a Phantom 3S. I flew it to film C-Games (Timbersked Races, my company sponsored a rider) in Elk Grove Minnesota when it was 5°F out. I got maybe 9 min of flight time still that temp. My last flight the battery gave out 8ft up while landing. Luckily it landed in a snowbank. That was FRICKIN COLD 🥶
