okay so i still have my old phantom 4 pro sitting around and ive been flying it alongside my air 2s for a while now and honestly the lightbridge on the p4p still feels more solid to me in certain environments. like at this one spot i fly near an industrial area the air 2s on O3 gets choppy video and occasional lag spikes around 300m, the phantom just... doesnt. same conditions same day.

i know on paper O3 is supposed to be the better tech and the range specs are way higher but specs are specs you know. curious if anyone else has done any kind of real world comparison or if im just getting unlucky with my particular unit. also worth noting my area has gotten more congested with 5g towers in the last year or so, not sure if thats relevant but throwing it out there

lightbridge was genuinely overengineered for its time and i dont think people give it enough credit. DJI basically moved away from it not because O3 is better in all situations but because O3 is cheaper to implement and works well enough for most consumers. in dense RF environments lightbridge's frequency hopping and encoding held up really well. that said your 5g point might actually be the real culprit here, some of the mid-band 5g deployments overlap in ways that just didnt exist when O3 was designed and i dont think the interference rejection has caught up fully yet

idk i flew my air 2s in downtown chicago once and barely had any issues past like 600m which surprised me. but industrial areas are probably a whole different animal with all the machinery running. have you tried flying at different times of day to see if it changes? sometimes heavy equipment cycling on and off makes a big difference with interference and it might not be a constant thing
