7:33 totally agree. It's also on DJI site which I would read as not obsolete. Very much in my opinion as a craft they still want to keep in their consumer line of drones.
...good news for p4-p4pv2 owners! - was beginning to think the lack of availability of these batteries was going to be the death knell of my p4 drones as soon as the batts wore out...hope is alive again!!! :)
Hey Rick, thank for this very informative product update! I knew DJI was not going to retire the P4 format even if for commercial use, they will hopefully bring back hobbyist versions. As always, thanks for this excellent overview, take care!
Steve, thanks for the post and for stopping by. I think they view the Phantom 4 frame as a less costly platform for adding tech like this at a lower price point. This allows even smaller farmers and rescue squads to acquire one of these to really help them in the field. I love this type of innovation. RIck
Thanks Rick, very informative. This drone has many applications. Agriculture interest me but also bush fire management. This will help a lot our firefighters out there! Keep up the great work!
That was very informative Rick thank you. I don't own a phantom anything so this does not affect me at all but the fact that DJI is still building on it that's a good thing to know! I hope that a lot of the farmers will benefit from this tool along with anyone else that could use this technology. Great stuff!!!😯
Jack, thanks for the post and I just love when a company puts this much powerful tech into a product, especially when it can help folks do their jobs safer. These are hard times for farmers and if this quad can improve their yields by even 5% it could make a huge difference.
Thanks Rick fantastic information on this new Drone I would love to hear a lot more about it and the cost. It’s something that I’m very interested in Thanks for doing.the review hope to see more on it to come
Rick, thanks for the post and it's always great to see you stopping by. This looks like a pretty cool quad and I think it will put a lot of tech in the hands of the people who need it based on it's price point. Hope you had a great summer! Rick
Hi........Is it true that the obstacle avoidance sensors are automatically disabled on the p4 pro I've just bought when prop guards are put on? ..seems ridiculous... thanks..
@@hankfink5412 They are real tools. I was flying mine around the ranch the other day. When I got up about 75' I couldn't beleive the perspective I was seeing. I could see stock ponds, dead trees that need cutting down. It was pretty windy. A few buzzards were flying over head and down below. There are a lot of good uses for this piece of equipment. Finding cattle and calves in the brush is one good one. A friend of mine was flying over his neighbor's cows. He got down within 20 feet. They looked up like it was a bird and continued to graze. One day we'll be dropping bails of hay in the pasture !
@@dhansel4835 haha! our cows haven't quite gotten used to it yet, but I used that to my advantage by chasing two young heifers back into their pen after getting loose into a hayfield 🤣🤣
@@hankfink5412 That saves a lot of running and hollering waving rags trying to get them in the run-around. When my dad was alive we had to heard up the cows with a couple of horses. Some of the cows and horses were back in the pasture about 2 miles from the house. When he passed away I decided to start feeding the cows range cubes and strew the range cubes from the pasture to the run-around. The range cubes were in white Purina paper sacks. I could blow the horn on the truck, wave an empty sack of range cubes and the cows would beat me to the run-around corral. When they got in I would close the door and open the gate by the barn so the only way they could get out was go through the traps and out that gate. They got so used to that it was a cinch to round up the cows. We were cutting the caves from the cows when it was time to sell them and some old cows would want to come back into the pen. Those were the days.
Thanks, Rick! Sounds cool. I agree completely about innovation in the upper price ranges - if it’s useful, folks find a way to trickle it down. Also, I imagine this gives another boost to my Phantom friends (not me so much; I like the more portable stuff) who may be becoming discouraged. On that, though - if there’s one thing DJI does even better than drone creation, it’s marketing. Can’t help but think that a part of this is to keep those folks hanging onto that cliff by their fingernails... Bring on the Bob Franks songs!!! :)
Dennis, I'm still rooting for the Phantom 5 and even though I love the folding portability of the Mavic series, the fixed frame of the Phantom does provide a better platform for a removable payload. That would be a game-changer in a quad of this size. I'll have a few more updates this week so be sure to stop back soon. Rick
Hi. This drone is shown on DJI'S, DJI Terra section of their website. DJI Terra is all about 3D mapping - creating 3D models. Being my area of business is Architecture, this use of drones is very interesting to me, I hope this technology filters down to the mavic range, perhaps the enterprise version of the new mavic 2!
Rick, nice job as usual, two things I'd like to see then do with the P4P is to make the legs fold up. Either like the Mavic Pro 2 or the Inspire and that work the other possible a camera that can rotate 360°. If they do that the P4P or add those to a P5P in a new Phantom drone
This is something different in relation to drone noise from propellers . What if you have a sound recorder on a which records realtime voice from the drone and a speaker on the drone which will play the inverse wave of the sound recorded just like a noise cancelling headphone will it reduce the noise ??
Pat, thanks for the post but let me play the devils advocate for a minute. I think that since they just started offering this new P4, it means that the production lines are all up and running for this mold. That could mean that a Phantom 5 (using a similar mold) could be closer than we think. Fingers crossed.
I agree and think this will be in the hands of a lot of land management teams. It would also be great for any company that has to maintain a large area of grass like golf courses or stadiums to know where the turf is stressed.
Thanks Rick that is some good info..if you have time I would like to see more on the camera I work with the Fire Depart. in my area and wanting to get them in to the good work that drone are doing out there. they are starting come around but need to be push a little more this will help ... Thanks again
Read somewhere on EU DJI Declaration page that the P4Pro will be on the market again sometime in October '19 ? Read it will be called P4Pv2.0 - PLUS model though. Crossing fingers.
Tom, the pricing is $6500 for the standard package and $9100 for the one including the base station. I know a lot of people will look at this as a lot of $ but compared to some of the equipment used on a farm, this is pretty reasonable. Thanks for the post and stop back soon for more content. Rick
@@Dronevalley About cost for farm equipment, a JD combine with head goes about $1 million. So as things go you are right about the price. Remarkably, most purchasers of combines are INDIVIDUAL farm owners. It is extremely expensive nowadays to be a successful farmer.
@@karthurjr Thanks for the post and I live in a farming area in NJ and every time I bite into an ear of corn that was planted, raised and harvested by a farmer down the road I realize how lucky we are. I know these are uncertain times for a lot of the farming families and think that a tool like this can really help them improve their yield and reduce their waste (water, pesticides) by surveying their fields.
Jay, thanks for the post and I totally blew the city. I was just out there last week on business and it was still in my head. Thanks for catching that and I hope you enjoyed the clip! Rick
Charlie, I'm sorry to ask but remind me what it was again you needed help with. I've been traveling a ton these last 2 weeks and am just getting caught up. Shoot me an email (rick@dronevalley.com) and I'll sort it out in the morning. Rick
If DJI produced a Phantom 4 turd scanner, all these UA-camrs would make a video about it for views and the little money they make here. All of a sudden they’d all become turd experts. Ugh. What do you expect though from veiled advertising? Infomercials.
Thanks a lot for the post but I do these clips because I love the tech and am constantly fascinated by the innovation. To a farmer or a rescue worker, a product like this is like martian technology that allows a single farmer with a quad to pinpoint the exact location in their field that needs water. It allows a rescue worker to search an area of a forest in an hour for a lost child that would have take a score of people a day to cover. This technology is a "force multiplier" for these professions and gives them a better way to do their jobs. I've been a nerd since before it was a word and cover a wide range of tech innovations on the channel, if none of this gets you excited, you need to check your pulse. These are very exciting times and I can't help but stuff all of that excitement into the clips I post. So stay tuned for more from this turd expert because I find something interesting to talk about almost every day.
@@Dronevalley I know my comment isn't popular among the fan boys, but let's be realistic. A majority of the consumers out here aren't looking for this product and watching YT'rs clamor over it is cringe worthy. My opinion, yes. Yours is noted, and I enjoy your enthusiasm. It's disappointing that DJI doesn't listen to its consumers and makes folks like you say 'the Phantom 4 is alive and well.' It's not well.
@@genx1144 I appreciate the reply but with all due respect, I'm a fanboy of technology and I cover a lot of different emerging products on the channel. Being a geek at heart, new tech excites me and the Engineer in me is compelled to investigate. Folks come to the channel to learn about this new gear and seem to enjoy the "Reader's Digest" version I provide in these clips. A lot of my viewers are commercial pilots (as am I) and will be flying this type of drone for their farms or part of a First-responders team. As I mentioned in the clip, the simple fact that DJI is still producing the P4 frame at all is a breath of fresh air and I'm still convinced we'll see some of these advancements trickle down into the consumer space. I have a strong suspicion that we might see a Phantom 5 sometime soon as it provides the perfect platform for a removable payload at a lower cost than the Inspire series. There is a huge gap in product between the "Hollywood" high-end film-making fliers of the Inspire 2 and the consumer models like the Mavic Pro 2. DJI is a very smart company and I expect they'll fill that gap eventually with a Phantom-like product in the $2000 range. It's all speculation but I've been studying them for years and wouldn't be at all surprised if I'm right. I hope that helps explain why I get jazzed about these releases. Where else do we terrestrial creatures get to explore the third dimension this easily? Thanks again for the post. Rick
Dude, are you seriously picking on a clip I posted 3 years ago on the channel? The clip was an overview of the announcement and mostly about how the Phantom 4 product was still being produced and what the new version provided. When I did the clip they hadn't even shipped the product yet and I wanted to let other fliers know about the changes to the air-frame. I know you're trying to grow your channel, but maybe spend your time creating building a collection of great content others want to watch instead of tearing down others that are actually doing the work and trying to help other fliers. Just a thought.
I'm looking forward to the Phantom 5 as well but they are getting some great mileage out of the P4 frame by expanding the type of quads they are building on it. Stay tuned for more content this week. Rick

Welcome back! It's great to see you on the channel and I hope you had a good summer of flying. Rick
As I rancher it would great to have a camera that you could fly over your property looking for lost calves OR track coyotes or wounded cattle.
I was flying my mavic 2 pro a few days ago and found a calf out in the pasture
@@hankfink5412 They are real tools. I was flying mine around the ranch the other day.

There are a lot of good uses for this piece of equipment.
Finding cattle and calves in the brush is one good one.
A friend of mine was flying over his neighbor's cows. He got down within 20 feet. They looked up like it was a bird and continued to graze.

Well Rick, with that being said looks like the Phantom 5 won’t be out in the near future anytime soon. Great informative video👍🏼

I like the smaller size of the phantom 4 over the M200 series, but depending on the price, the M210 RTK may be a better investment.
