@@DustinDunnill higher hertz have shorter range. In every cenerio.. why do u hear the base from the club and not the song it self? But when u come inside its the trebble middle tones that bother your ears? And the bass u only feel in the chest? Lower frequenze travle further. Will always do. But as we now know from the experiment. If you are close enough higer frequenz are "faster" more "impact" on you ear. Thats why when in shorter range 5ghz internet is faster, drone have more direct image with lower lag and so forth...
When wireless home phones came out they had different gigahertz everybody jumped onto the bandwagon of the five point whatever it was 5.0 gig cards after everybody went to six was left alone so it’s clear if you went back to that
Thanks for sharing the video, always great to see what others are doing with their P4 Pro :) I did a range test myself not too long ago... With direct line of sight and a fairly calm day, I managed 2.29 miles before I started to get my first weaker signal warning... Second test I trialed the $12 Sunnylife branded, copper insert, parabolic, range extender... I managed 3.8 Miles with that! - Both using 5.8ghz with no interference or loss of video. I never use 2.4ghz anymore!
These are really cool videos. I've watched a bunch of your range test videos now and I have to say, I'm kinda jealous lol. I built a TBS Discovery about 4 years ago with a DJI Naza-M V2 flight controller and anytime I tried to use the RTH function, the damn thing would fly to 200' and just hover there until the low battery forced it to descend. Absolutely terrifying lol.
Wind direction can change from one area to another. It might be perfect where take off occurred but changes once the drone is, lets say, 1/2 mile away.
Nice video. I have a p4p as well. I was wondering , The pad on the ground you took off from, did you make that? If you bought it I would love to purchase one to use with p4p
Cool. I just got a phantom 4 pro and been wanting to do a long flight. I've pick a route from Wendy's to McD's that's 2 miles apart.. just kinda nervous about it.. wondering if I could make it and back.. I've done a mile a back no problem
Great video and demo again and thanks. Your videos really give us Phantom owners a real look at what these aircraft are capable of doing. Really appreciate all the effort you put into this for us. Happy Flying.
+Tdrex720 if you can have nothing between controller and craft and no wifi interference than you should get about the same. If you have trees between it will be much less and worse with multiple trees.
At 10:10, for that you would need local topographical maps of quite a high resolution. And to do live computation of AGL requires a built in conversion model. There would have to be specific maps for each region that the drones are sold in or available.
That's crazy. I would hate for something to happen and lose it a mile away. I like how it returns to home. I don't know anything about these things so that's pretty cool to me.
This is a great video! I have a phantom 4 pro but I've never tried to go anywhere near that far. I do have some cool videos from it. I'm wondering why your altitude shows a number that appears to be much lower than what I see on the video feed? Maybe you said something about it in the video and I missed it.
To have an accurate AGL reading it would need a sensative radio altimeter which would probably be good only to about 20 to 30 feet off the ground since the sensor would have to be small and light enough to fit on the drone. So once you fly over a cliff the AGL reading wouldnt be accurate.
I have had the MP1 for about a year and a half and have loved it . I just got a P4P after finding there will be no more Phantoms I now have the first and last Phantom lol . We and the drones have come a long way from when we first started . Do you ever break out your old stuff and fly it ? I need to dust off my old F550 and take it for a spin .
Hey Spencer. Congrats on the P4p. I rarely have time to take out some of the old stuff. I am however still Loving the Disco with all the mods and capabilities it's got. Spending way to much time with it when I should be reviewing some newer products 😂🍻
Just stumbled upon your channel. I have been looking at the Phantom 4 Pro + for almost a year now. I'm going thru the information overload period of the various pricing and purchase options. Thank you for a great video and I'm now subscribed. Your voice is very pleasant and easy to stay tuned to. I will be reviewing your other videos. Maybe I will find help on purchase options. Thanks!
Dustin just a question that has nothing to do with the drone just the atmosphere. When it is really humid and hot there do you ever sweat so much you sweat on your drones and your equipment and I have to wipe your face plus feel uncomfortable at times. I live in Texas and summertime is no time to fly a drone I cannot handle it. I just bought a Mavic pro two last year and I Mavic air two weeks ago and I have never flown them yet and I am paranoid to fly them in the heat. I have to fly out of Texas I guess. Wish I was there. Have fun you’re so good at what you do I’m so jealous. I have purchased so many batteries for both rounds all the fun things to put on them and the best lighting and just plain The best accessories. Several boxes of them still in boxes ready to be unpacked. All dressed up and nowhere to go. I sometimes wonder why I did this because I have such a problem in the heat that it scares me, Other things as well but someday I’m going to have to get over that. I might be flying across your way sometime real soon.
Yep! More than once. In the hot summers here in areas of no wind I sweat like crazy doing my reviews 😂. Man I've been to corpus Christi TX once when I was a teenager and it was like walking around in steaming sauna so I know what you mean.
pretty cool that you can adjust gimbal with RTH. you sounded pretty excited haha. Hopefully the spark will add that feature later on. That app closing is sketch too. Hopefully they address that.
+Son Ero the more interference and LOS obstructions the shorter the range will be. I could do the test but it would be different in similar areas. The way I'm doing it here takes out the variables which would give consistent similar results in the country with good LOS. When you start adding obstructions and interference, the results will be more drastically inconsistent in similar situations. I do understand your point though. I can say from experience range would be much less.
Yes indeed my usual flight route elevation is opposite yours. I am down in a valley with tall evergreens around Home Point location. Been flying a Spark lately and lucky if I get 500m ...
I’m lucky if I can get a 1/4 of a mile, without a transmission problem, signal loss or a disconnect issue! I can’t figure out what the problem is! Mostly farmland and trees, no big cities fore miles away! Need help! Great video!!
wow great video, really good. I laughed when you had to mute the review audio while someone decided to stop and chat to you, always the way!. But the return to home accuracy was amazing, even the way the drone decided to use the original orientation for landing, and lots of battery remaining. Thanks again, great review. You were very brave sending that monster of gold, way out to even 2 miles, knowing it's fate would be unknown.
Hi Dustin Can’t beat a range test ! Love the footage mate Could I ask what program do your editing with .? And how much does the program cost ? Also how do you get the voice on the film Is it added post production or done live ? And how ? Sorry so many questions. Love it keep them coming . UK JIMMY
If someone 1st drone flying with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus ! How high up in the Sky would you Recommend Binger to Flying drone up in the Sky a DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus drone.
Good to know.I have the phantom 4 my brother in law has the p4p so I wanted to get that info so I can tell him. I also would like to buy the Mavic for the occu-sync transmission have heard nothing but good things about it.
Big reason I have the plus version. Noticed using any device such as smartphone tablet seems the go 4 app periodically does crash. Since I have the plus version basically comes with it's on screen attached to controller I have yet to experience any crash with the go 4 app. Good video tho
Thank you for the nice video! For the same amount of money, would you buy a Mavic Air or a Phantom 4 Pro? Portability is not an issue in my case since I usually drive to my flight locations.
So, i'm getting one of these. (less the built-in display). i'll be using the iPhone 7 + as the monitor. So this was very impressive and helpful ! Now,where the hell to buy it from???? (support point of view )
Dustin Dunnill well I care I just didn't care for the p4 I'm into the racing drones but like I said I watch everyone of your videos because you explain the best with the most clear voice even when it's windy love it man for real
i have the ph4 pro + version and i test the drone in 2.4ghz i am shocked from the result lol 6.4 Km . put in maind that i am in saudi arabia i can called it ( sand drone test ) and mybe in future i'll put my experiences in youtube :) i am not sure
That's kinda odd ... You get further distance with 5.8Ghz and the 2.4 is for penetrating barriers ... or at least that is the way WiFi is supposed to function. That's why 2.4Ghz travels further in your home than the 5.8 ... but it is slower than the 5.8. Odd ... Keep flying ... either way ... it doesn't matter how we get there and on which signal ... as long as we get there ... Happy Holidays!
That Lightbridge technology is very impressive, however, I dont own a Phantom. Im interested in Lightbridge but what's the story with Phantoms and cracked motor mounts? Also, is there still a need to upload flight data and telemetry to DJI? That's a huge turn off to a potential purchase for me.
Excellent work. I'm glad to hear you speak of the airspace situation. I'm a private pilot and we fly our drones in the same airspace light airplanes are operated in. 500 feet AGL is not low altitude. 100 feet is, but I know of guys who did that just for fun. And it's perfectly legal in class G airspace. Also I have had 3 near mid-airs that I know of. I didn't see a single one until the flashes of airplane zooming by. Pilots believe we don't have more mid-airs because of The Big Sky Theory: It's a big sky. Drones are changing the odds, and the feds know it. I had my first airplane encounter just last week. I was demonstrating RTH with a rookie flyer. Here trees are over 200' so my RTH altitude is 75m. A guy in a C-172 came scud running out of the pass the park is in. He was 300 to 400 feet AGL. Not even close, but a great teaching moment as I am new to drones. We need to fly smart or they'll take drones away. One last point. I'm an F-111 crew chief vet. That jet had a terrain following radar setting; "200 ft" "Hard Ride" and could go 800 mph down there. Lots of modern military acft do it now.
Hi Dustin, Great Video as always! Not to sound like a broken record but as I have asked before with the Mavic Pro I (and I expect others) would like to see range testing from average ground level like you do at the park. Not everyone has a mountain to go up to fly their drones and it doesn't really show what to expect range wise for the average user. I think all of us would like to see real world range testing for all of the latest DJI products: Mavic Pro, Spark and the Phantom 4 Pro from somewhere like the park. Also testing for Max range you shouldn't use sport mode on any of them as it eats up so much more of the battery and really limits the range you could actually get out of them. As you stated when the P4P landed you had 36% battery left when you landed and 93% percent when you took off was 42% battery that wasn't actually used in flight. I really hope to see you do some more range testing with these birds if you have the time. I really enjoy all of your videos and appreciate all the hard work you put into them. Thanks!
+Mike Brooks thanks Mike. Main reason I don't really like to do range testing in the residential area is because I done feel it's safe flying over people, homes, businesses. Not to say I don't ever do it, but to work it into a review routine definitely ups the odds for an incident. That said, I do trust DJI products in the air but just the idea of it falling on a person or property in a failure still scares me.
+Dustin Dunnill I agree, I wouldn't want you to endanger anyone doing a range test but using a rural area such as you did in your hubsan 501S dual battery long range test would be excellent. Not trying to make extra work for you but I think a lot of people would be interested to see a real world test on the range of these birds and I would definitely trust a DJI product long before I would a hubsan. I think in that video you tried to demonstrate hubsan's famous "tumble of death" when not using gps to keep it stable. Just a suggestion if you have the time as I am sure a lot of potential DJI buyers would be very interested to see those videos. Thanks for all that you do for the RC community!
If you want a true range test start with a completely full battery and don't fly in sport mode, if you fly in P mode you will conserve much more battery and will go further!
in sport mode i get 1km per minute. i flew 3km in 3 minutes and when i was back i still had 75% battery. 5km in 5 minute so when i am back only 10minutes are past in sport mode. Sport mode is so fast and the battery doesnt goes low quick.
Sebastian Asia 8km out, then 8km back, all at 56kph, for a 16min flight,( 0% battery on landing... Hard on the batteries, Program autolands to soon) I suggest, first a 4km(for +50% battery on landing), 6km(for +25% battery), then 7km, out & back Waypoint(for +12% battery on landing) Sounds like a quiet early-morning Waypoint test, using Auto-Launch, Bank to Turn, and Zero Loiter Time.
Sebastian Asia 35mph may be the most efficient speed for distance traveled. Fly faster than 35mph, and battery drains quicker than your speed, slower and you fly longer but don't go far.
If you set precision landing on take off and set the RTH altitude at an altitude that is lower than the altitude of the ground when RTH is enacted, will the drone attempt to go down and crash into ground? For example, if you take off from valley and set RTH altitude at 400 feet or 120 metered, then fly up a mountain that is 5,000 feet high - and RTH begins, will the drone attempt to go down to the RTH elevation set at takeoff, crashes no into ground because the ground over which you are flying is any above the relative elevation of RTH set at takeoff? I suppose one could manually fly away from mountain and then manually execute RTH once again .....
I wish someday I could own one. I'm so much of a drone enthusiast. I've only ever flown a Phantom 4 drone once, for aerial videography for a pre-nuptial shoot.
Love all of your videos Dustin. I have definitely learned a lot from you. I will soon be purchasing the Phantom 4 Pro. Would love your input on what the best options would be as far as accessories, battery chargers, drone case, etc. I see you have a few links for these items. Do you normally purchase from Amazon? Thanks again!
In our country we can’t fly beyond line of sight so we aren’t able to verify maximum range of our P4P+ V2.0 . Still, we never lost connection while flying for a single second.
when will there finally be a phantom pro 5, which can transport small rescue equipment, so has a release pin, a pivot pin to push or pull something and a winch function? also remote controlled of course. because the camera can also be operated remotely. It's already 2020.
@@DustinDunnill you just believe it? I'm sure. now people with all kinds of knickknacks have to hang the drone as a Christmas tree. Consequently: out of balance, not waterproof, loss of lifting power, assuming that the drone already has little lifting capacity. then one more thing, the phantom 4 pro seems to me to have enough space because none that i now want to build in. now 2020. should we wait for the sleeping designers?
I like how manufacturers sell products based on the extremes of what they can do, but legally they are limited to what you can do with it. A drone can only be flown within line of sight, but I CAN go 5 miles away, the speed limit is 55, but a Corvette CAN go 180 mph, a Big Mac had 1800 calories and 155 grams of fat, but the FDA says you can't eat that and live past 40... with all the rules and regulations, who wants to live past 40 anymore LOL.
Soo... The phantom 4 pro won't go 4+ miles on distance?? I am looking at upgrading from my Phantom 3 4k, cause I can only get about 3/4 of a mile range. And I wanna go a lot further. I want either the Phantom 3, or 4 pro. But I do want to know I can get at least! 3 miles before spending the money.
I enjoy your video test and I have some questions to ask you about phantom 5 when is it going to come out because that is the Drone I'm waiting for to have as a drone lover and still going to be the only drone I will have too.
You have some serious kit Dustin! Some amazing reviews, are you going to get your hands on a DJI Inspire 2 with an X7 camera? They should defiantly give one to you in my opinion! What if a few thousand people donate £1 and you can get one? I would love to see you do a range test with the parabolic reflectors on this P4. Also you missed the punch test. Keep it up man. Thanks
onthedownlow100 it probably defaulted into manual mode , they were having major problems with that , how long ago ? You might be able to get another one from them.
i spoke to Shally liu, she said sorry from hubsan. That was it. I got it for xmas Was not pilot error but try to explain that to them. They treat you like your lying to them even when you are not.
I've been watching your reviews for some time, and a co-worker is about to buy a quad-- I mentioned your UA-cam channel and he too has been following your reviews. :)
What's up Dustin! I live maui too. I had the phantom3 phantom4 now I just ordered my phantom4 pro. How like it the pro compare to the regular phantom4? I heard a lot of problems about the pro like gimble shake when its wind.
It is supposed to auto switch. It did not need to switch here because there was still good video then it did it's smart RTH prior to needing to switch to 2.4
i have the spark and want to save up to get another dji drone which would you suggest between the dji mavic pro the dji mavic pro platinum or the dji phantom 4 professional
+george aura Apple constantly blocks screen recording apps and they need to be re installed and re activated which was the case here but I did not have the time for it 😀
Nice video Dustin. I also like android better and now have a Galaxy Note 8 and it is by far the best android on the market. It has a very bright screen and even brighter than Crystal Sky according to a DJI employee at the DJI store here in Colorado. You might consider uograding.
My spark has precision landing. I only take off straight up to 10 m and hover there for a few seconds and after that my spark says precision landing on RTH

Solid machine. Flying quads in Hawaii. Living the dream.
Do you live in Hawaii?
Yes Dustin I checked with DJI, it use the optical flow system for precision landing. 4K not used at all.
JHey Google Google
The vision position sensors take photos as it takes of and lands and compares them to match the take off spot
You shoulda used 2.4GHZ. Its meant more for long range. 5.8 is used for close range in a dirty air environment.
Didnt know that🤔
Not necessarily. Depends on surrounding interference on both frequencies 🍻
@@DustinDunnill higher hertz have shorter range. In every cenerio.. why do u hear the base from the club and not the song it self? But when u come inside its the trebble middle tones that bother your ears? And the bass u only feel in the chest?

@helpaholic true, if u struggle with WiFi speed, u can log on to your router and see GHz traffic and fine adjust your GHz to minimize GHz interference

A good way to get a sense of wind direction is to launch it and let it hover in Atti for a few metres.
Wind direction can change from one area to another. It might be perfect where take off occurred but changes once the drone is, lets say, 1/2 mile away.
Try 'above Sea Level' (instead of AGL - above ground level) setting in app.
great video man! DJI makes some really cool drones. I'm new to this technology and I'm hooked
+david mish Thanks. Amazing technology for sure 😀👍
Cool, Im getting 1 soon, I can't wait to fly around my town in Illinois!
Is this drone still worth it in 2020?
I'm on the fence about getting this one.
Yes but if you have the money get the Mavic 2
I'm still using a phantom 3 and I think it's absolutely worth it
Levi Rehn the phantom costs more than the mavic and the image quality is better
High Humidity will also help chew up battery time, the blades have to fight through thicker air...
Nice video. I have a p4p as well. I was wondering , The pad on the ground you took off from, did you make that? If you bought it I would love to purchase one to use with p4p
Have a Mavic air and watched all your vids on that. Now thinking to upgrade to a Phantom Pro +

The alt doesn't account for the mountain sloping down.

Dustin Dunnill well I care I just didn't care for the p4 I'm into the racing drones but like I said I watch everyone of your videos because you explain the best with the most clear voice even when it's windy love it man for real
For me ive found that in open area that 2.4ghz works better. 5.8ghz works great in urban areas better than 2.4
i have the ph4 pro + version and i test the drone in 2.4ghz i am shocked from the result lol 6.4 Km .
put in maind that i am in saudi arabia i can called it ( sand drone test ) and mybe in future i'll put my experiences in youtube :) i am not sure
That's kinda odd ... You get further distance with 5.8Ghz and the 2.4 is for penetrating barriers ... or at least that is the way WiFi is supposed to function. That's why 2.4Ghz travels further in your home than the 5.8 ... but it is slower than the 5.8. Odd ... Keep flying ... either way ... it doesn't matter how we get there and on which signal ... as long as we get there ... Happy Holidays!
No More
Ill like to see that. I bet a pretty site.
That Lightbridge technology is very impressive, however, I dont own a Phantom. Im interested in Lightbridge but what's the story with Phantoms and cracked motor mounts? Also, is there still a need to upload flight data and telemetry to DJI? That's a huge turn off to a potential purchase for me.
Te esta pidiendo que limpies la tarjeta micro Sd esta casi llena.. Y chevre tu video.. Al parecer el P4 pro tiene más rango que el P4 normal
Wow awesome landing right on the money 👍🏼
Excellent work. I'm glad to hear you speak of the airspace situation. I'm a private pilot and we fly our drones in the same airspace light airplanes are operated in. 500 feet AGL is not low altitude. 100 feet is, but I know of guys who did that just for fun. And it's perfectly legal in class G airspace. Also I have had 3 near mid-airs that I know of. I didn't see a single one until the flashes of airplane zooming by. Pilots believe we don't have more mid-airs because of The Big Sky Theory: It's a big sky. Drones are changing the odds, and the feds know it. I had my first airplane encounter just last week. I was demonstrating RTH with a rookie flyer. Here trees are over 200' so my RTH altitude is 75m. A guy in a C-172 came scud running out of the pass the park is in. He was 300 to 400 feet AGL. Not even close, but a great teaching moment as I am new to drones. We need to fly smart or they'll take drones away.
One last point. I'm an F-111 crew chief vet. That jet had a terrain following radar setting; "200 ft" "Hard Ride" and could go 800 mph down there. Lots of modern military acft do it now.
You would have to have a radar altimeter in order to know altitude above the ground. Maybe someone is working on one small enough for drones?...
Hi Dustin, Great Video as always! Not to sound like a broken record but as I have asked before with the Mavic Pro I (and I expect others) would like to see range testing from average ground level like you do at the park. Not everyone has a mountain to go up to fly their drones and it doesn't really show what to expect range wise for the average user. I think all of us would like to see real world range testing for all of the latest DJI products: Mavic Pro, Spark and the Phantom 4 Pro from somewhere like the park.
Also testing for Max range you shouldn't use sport mode on any of them as it eats up so much more of the battery and really limits the range you could actually get out of them. As you stated when the P4P landed you had 36% battery left when you landed and 93% percent when you took off was 42% battery that wasn't actually used in flight. I really hope to see you do some more range testing with these birds if you have the time. I really enjoy all of your videos and appreciate all the hard work you put into them. Thanks!
+Mike Brooks thanks Mike. Main reason I don't really like to do range testing in the residential area is because I done feel it's safe flying over people, homes, businesses. Not to say I don't ever do it, but to work it into a review routine definitely ups the odds for an incident. That said, I do trust DJI products in the air but just the idea of it falling on a person or property in a failure still scares me.
+Dustin Dunnill I agree, I wouldn't want you to endanger anyone doing a range test but using a rural area such as you did in your hubsan 501S dual battery long range test would be excellent. Not trying to make extra work for you but I think a lot of people would be interested to see a real world test on the range of these birds and I would definitely trust a DJI product long before I would a hubsan. I think in that video you tried to demonstrate hubsan's famous "tumble of death" when not using gps to keep it stable. Just a suggestion if you have the time as I am sure a lot of potential DJI buyers would be very interested to see those videos. Thanks for all that you do for the RC community!
Absolutely worth it watching this amazing video! Thank you for the flight! Got a P4P aswell, but used it only within half a mile so far
+termi77 😁✌
very cool Dustin...have you done this test with a phantom 3 standard
I'll have to do it with my brother in-law's P3 as I actually don't have one :)
If you want a true range test start with a completely full battery and don't fly in sport mode, if you fly in P mode you will conserve much more battery and will go further!
+JIMPER I have my doubts but worth a try 😀
in sport mode i get 1km per minute. i flew 3km in 3 minutes and when i was back i still had 75% battery. 5km in 5 minute so when i am back only 10minutes are past in sport mode. Sport mode is so fast and the battery doesnt goes low quick.
Sebastian Asia
34mph is near max efficiency for the phantom 2, 17min flight, traveling 10mi.
Sebastian Asia
8km out, then 8km back, all at 56kph, for a 16min flight,( 0% battery on landing... Hard on the batteries, Program autolands to soon)
I suggest, first a 4km(for +50% battery on landing), 6km(for +25% battery), then 7km, out & back Waypoint(for +12% battery on landing)
Sounds like a quiet early-morning Waypoint test, using Auto-Launch, Bank to Turn, and Zero Loiter Time.
Sebastian Asia
35mph may be the most efficient speed for distance traveled.
Fly faster than 35mph, and battery drains quicker than your speed, slower and you fly longer but don't go far.
Great video it was very informative
Great range test and some beautiful scenery.
+Ron Brown Thanks Ron 👌
I wish there were a lot of open space here to fly my Mavic but Oahu has a lot of No Fly Zones.
+Renegade0056 More people.. more problems...😕😢
So at this point did you already lose the mini four pro or had you not lost it yet?
I got 4km on my P4P+ over my home town as a range test some homes and buildings. Great vid btw👌
If you set precision landing on take off and set the RTH altitude at an altitude that is lower than the altitude of the ground when RTH is enacted, will the drone attempt to go down and crash into ground? For example, if you take off from valley and set RTH altitude at 400 feet or 120 metered, then fly up a mountain that is 5,000 feet high - and RTH begins, will the drone attempt to go down to the RTH elevation set at takeoff, crashes no into ground because the ground over which you are flying is any above the relative elevation of RTH set at takeoff?
I suppose one could manually fly away from mountain and then manually execute RTH once again .....
I wish someday I could own one. I'm so much of a drone enthusiast. I've only ever flown a Phantom 4 drone once, for aerial videography for a pre-nuptial shoot.
Just got my Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 i saved 2 months for it :D it's great if you are looking into getting a new drone
@@Tom-gj9iq I have bought the Mavic 3 and smart controller pro its a better buy the Phantoms are to big and dated now but thats my choice....
Hi Dustin
Regarding the cover on your screen, did you buy it or make it yourself?
I just got a free phantom 4 advanced. Do you recommend signal booster if I fly in the city?
I know this is an old video but why not do a range test starting at full battery instead of 89%?
That is nice! And what an awesome place to test it!
I am amazed of the range
Love all of your videos Dustin. I have definitely learned a lot from you. I will soon be purchasing the Phantom 4 Pro. Would love your input on what the best options would be as far as accessories, battery chargers, drone case, etc. I see you have a few links for these items. Do you normally purchase from Amazon? Thanks again!
In our country we can’t fly beyond line of sight so we aren’t able to verify maximum range of our P4P+ V2.0 . Still, we never lost connection while flying for a single second.
when will there finally be a phantom pro 5, which can transport small rescue equipment, so has a release pin, a pivot pin to push or pull something and a winch function? also remote controlled of course. because the camera can also be operated remotely. It's already 2020.
I believe there are several aftermarket options that do those things 👍
@@DustinDunnill you just believe it? I'm sure. now people with all kinds of knickknacks have to hang the drone as a Christmas tree. Consequently: out of balance, not waterproof, loss of lifting power, assuming that the drone already has little lifting capacity. then one more thing, the phantom 4 pro seems to me to have enough space because none that i now want to build in. now 2020. should we wait for the sleeping designers?
I like how manufacturers sell products based on the extremes of what they can do, but legally they are limited to what you can do with it. A drone can only be flown within line of sight, but I CAN go 5 miles away, the speed limit is 55, but a Corvette CAN go 180 mph, a Big Mac had 1800 calories and 155 grams of fat, but the FDA says you can't eat that and live past 40... with all the rules and regulations, who wants to live past 40 anymore LOL.
The Phantom 4 PRO is still my favorite done.
Soo... The phantom 4 pro won't go 4+ miles on distance?? I am looking at upgrading from my Phantom 3 4k, cause I can only get about 3/4 of a mile range. And I wanna go a lot further. I want either the Phantom 3, or 4 pro. But I do want to know I can get at least! 3 miles before spending the money.
I enjoy your video test and I have some questions to ask you about phantom 5 when is it going to come out because that is the Drone I'm waiting for to have as a drone lover and still going to be the only drone I will have too.
Most likely sometime after the Mavic 2.
One question if the range cuts out, on any drone does the thing fall out of the sky or does it return to home?
You have some serious kit Dustin! Some amazing reviews, are you going to get your hands on a DJI Inspire 2 with an X7 camera? They should defiantly give one to you in my opinion! What if a few thousand people donate £1 and you can get one? I would love to see you do a range test with the parabolic reflectors on this P4. Also you missed the punch test. Keep it up man. Thanks
good video! I love drones. I've got Hubsan H501s X4 Advanced
My first serious drone was a 501s loved it
Bitart Dude ditto here on the Hubsan 501, then had a fly away
I had a fly away too with my h501s. I think when i hit rth, the drone thought it should return to china and just screwed off...never to be seen again.
onthedownlow100 it probably defaulted into manual mode , they were having major problems with that , how long ago ? You might be able to get another one from them.
i spoke to Shally liu, she said sorry from hubsan. That was it. I got it for xmas Was not pilot error but try to explain that to them. They treat you like your lying to them even when you are not.
I've been watching your reviews for some time, and a co-worker is about to buy a quad-- I mentioned your UA-cam channel and he too has been following your reviews. :)
+nr552 Right on. Thank you 😀✌
What's up Dustin! I live maui too. I had the phantom3 phantom4 now I just ordered my phantom4 pro. How like it the pro compare to the regular phantom4? I heard a lot of problems about the pro like gimble shake when its wind.
Hey John. I have the pro plus now and yes I notice shake in wind unfortunately.
Dustin Dunnill. How do you like that one? I just hope its worth selling my phantom4 to buy the phantom4 pro.
Real nice Dustin, Good Job.
The Phantom 4 pro also has 2.4ghz for long distance flying. Yours was on 5.8 the whole flight. Not sure how to switch from one to the other.
It is supposed to auto switch. It did not need to switch here because there was still good video then it did it's smart RTH prior to needing to switch to 2.4
+Daytona 6263 Thanks. Maybe I'm thinking of the FPV stream resolution on Mavics OcuSync auto adjusting
Where is this mountain located? I might one day get a shot on one of my drones there.
Maui
i have the spark and want to save up to get another dji drone which would you suggest between the dji mavic pro the dji mavic pro platinum or the dji phantom 4 professional
if you switch to a frequentie of 2,4gh you should get more range
Hi man price
great flight man great range on that bird
Nice, amazing..
Another beautiful flight in paradise. Nice 👍🏻
+sallutz ✌
Why didn't you use the iPad you have?
+george aura Apple constantly blocks screen recording apps and they need to be re installed and re activated which was the case here but I did not have the time for it 😀
Have you tried the built in screen recorder in iOS 11?
Nice video Dustin. I also like android better and now have a Galaxy Note 8 and it is by far the best android on the market. It has a very bright screen and even brighter than Crystal Sky according to a DJI employee at the DJI store here in Colorado. You might consider uograding.
Wish I had this drone. What video editing app do you use??
My spark has precision landing. I only take off straight up to 10 m and hover there for a few seconds and after that my spark says precision landing on RTH
You can see on your spark range video that it says precision landing when landing.
+jesperbbb Yes it does. Just nothing when launching like Mavic or phantom 4
Hate the click bait but still like your videos😜😜
it shows 40 feet high but seems a lot higher.. closer to 1000.. ?
The only problem I have with this video is that sport mode uses more battery than normal gps mode which limits speed
