Drone Review
DJI Phantom 4
The Obstacle Sensing System only sees things in front of the drone. You still need a tablet or phone ready to go along with the controller and drone battery. Extra batteries are expensive. Landing gear and camera are fixed to the body
So you can't collap
Form factor is basically unchanged from earlier models
Pricey
True mission planning requires third-party app
Only comes with one battery
Collision avoidance is not foolproof
Some modes disable collision avoidance
Flight modes are confusing
Occasionally catches sight of itself in video
Still no controller display screen
Needs external display
Camera and gimbal can't be removed so no camera upgrade or change

There's a lot to like in the Phantom 4. It shoots very-high-quality video that looks significantly sharper than what you get from the Phantom 3 and as good as the video from a 3DR Solo using a GoPro 4. The Phantom 4 is very easy to fly, even for novice us...

Abstract: The DJI Phantom 4 is a slick, feature-packed drone. People say its the drone that anybody can fly, the quadcopter that you just cant crash. Let me be painfully clear about two things: 1) Not everyone can fly the Phantom 4, and 2) Its pretty damn easy t...
Abstract: Aerial photography drone manufacturer DJI just released its latest drone on Tuesday—the $1,399 Phantom 4—and the reviews are already overwhelmingly positive. “The drone for everyone.” “Outsmarts bad pilots.” “Blazingly fast and almost crash-proof.” So whe...

Abstract: I am absolutely loving the new DJI Phantom 4 Drone! I've had mine for a few weeks now and if there's a gadget that makes you get outdoors and appreciate nature more it's this!I'll post up my unboxing video (yes, I know I'm late with everything these days...
Multiple flight modes, Collision avoidance, Flight time, Easy to control
Props in frame can ruin shots, Loud
The best thing I can say about using the drone is that it enables you to reach perspectives that are otherwise not possible. Until recently the CASA regulations essentially put drones into the fun category, but now you can sell the footage you capture fro...
