Looking forward for feedback, My Hero4 Black came with 3.0 and I kept it at that version. I have no issues.

You've already deleted my response to your irresponsible flight I posted on your channel.

I'm running a GP4 on ver 5 just fine.
The only time I have not received video feed is at power on.
What I do is get everything but the GP powered on and then turn on the GP.

I didn't delete anything. I like your comment, I am actually looking for the pilot who flew so irresponsibly and when I find him I will admonish him very sternly for you and me both.

I offer the same feedback that I gave to your posting of this video on Facebook:

Flying blind through a cloud is illegal. If you can't see your drone, you can't evade manned craft approaching it. Please stop before you kill people. And stop posting self-incriminating evidence on YouTube.

My standard setup is:
V3. for my GPB
4k wide, Protune Off.

I only instal V5. if i need any of the new features.
Rarely used, but having options is what make good things GREAT!

Can I ask what upgrades you have which allowed you to maintain control so far out? Do you think you would of maintained the live feed at that distance if you had remained on version 3?

Thanks.
