- DJI Phantom 4 still worth buying in 2022/23?
Phantom 4, released in 15 March 2016, introduces a safer and better quick release propeller system. It also improves usability by adding obstacle avoidance and an ability to track subjects (Active Track), thanks to its five sensors. The cost of the Phantom 4 was £1,229, about the same price of the Phantom 3 Professional.

I always wanted to buy the DJI Phantom 4, but I couldn't afford it at the time. While searching on eBay, I found this drone and bought it. Will this drone still fly?
The p4 is big and noisy but you have to remember it is a very powerful drone and it’s very fast in sport mode if you need. It’s a very capable drone with a great camera. I’ve been flying my p4 advanced since 2017. I still have it and it still fly’s like it’s brand new. The new mini 3 series from dji are awesome drones but in a heavy enough wind, they can get blown away where the phantom 4 series have the power and weight to handle much heavier wind. I know this first hand as I almost lost a mini 3 in a heavy wind. Luckily I was able to get it back just barely. The phantom 4 on the other hand flew in that very same wind and handled it no problem due to it’s awesome power and it’s weight. My phantom 4 is a great drone and I would never sell mine. If someone can find a good deal on on a good working used p4, I absolutely recommend buying one. Just make sure it’s in good working condition.
Hi, many thanks for your comment and advice. Have to agree a great drone and I need to fly it more. Many thanks for watching :)
@@shaunthedrone Yes sir. Your video gives a great tribute to the phantom 4 which it deserves. It’s one of the greatest ever made. It’s extremely reliable even after 6 years of flying. It has those great powerful enclosed brushless motors that turn those big high pitch propellers with ease. Those propellers really bite the air hard. I have a newer, quieter, more advanced mini 3 which is an awesome little drone but the phantom 4 is a proven all time great. It’s like a p51 Mustang of the drone world.
I still fly my Phantom 4 that I bought in 2017. It is big and easy to see in the sky.
Thank you Arron and glad you still enjoy flying your drone. Many thanks for watching.
So glad you did this video. I’ve owned a phantom 4 since 2016. I did a lot of flying here in the states and in Scotland. Stopped flying about 2 years ago, because l started working with another pilot which allowed me to just shoot and edit. I have been wanting to start flying again , but did not know if I should purchase a newer drone. Seeing this video reminded me of how capable the P4 is at getting great aerial footage. Just got it out of the case and have it charging. Thanks again.
Thank you Rodney and glad my video helped you decide there is nothing wrong with still using the Phantom 4. Many thanks for watching :)
If you didn't fly it for a few years and didn't charge the batteries at least once a month, you will be surprised. I lost 4 batteries this way - if you don't keep them charged, apparently they die, and DJI doesn't fix and doesn't replace them. New one is around $200.
man its been awhile!! I just pick up one recently too back in October. Im loving it.
Glad you enjoy your Phantom 4 drone Joe, many thanks for watching :)
Thank you for this video.
Thank you Blake, glad you enjoyed the video. I will make more videos of this drone soon. Many thanks for watching :)
Great demonstration, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks for watching :)
Nice to watch your video and glad you were happy with the drone.
I have been flying my P4Advanced since I bought it new in 2018 and I am always amazed by the performance, picture quality, build quality and power to handle hight wind speeds with ease.
Also have the Mini 3 Pro as an everyday flyer but although very capable it is so compromised with "safety measures" that its hopeless for serious use.
With Litchi and NLD software and you have the ideal setup, impossible to achieve with modern hobby drones from any source.
The only drawback is that it is noisier than modern types but as I would likely be flying in remote areas or over the sea this hasn't been a problem.
Thank you for your comment and glad you still enjoy flying your Phantom 4. Many thanks for watching.
Shaun great coverage of an excellent Drone. I have one for sale in excellent condition.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and good luck with the sale. Many thanks for watching :)
Hey, I don't have a Phantom 4, nor any DJI drones except for the Ryze Tello which is powered but not made by DJI. I do have a DJI Osmo Action 3, and looking on the footage that you recorded I think it's in a flat color profile mode. It's meant for editing and color grading but if you don't want to do that switch back to normal color profile :D
If you upgrade your drone to the 4 pro you get 20 megapixels and 1 inch sensor with an analog shutter f2.8-11 aperture. I’ve owned a few, and now have the phantom4 pro plus edition. I will never trade this model in even though I have the Mavic 3 and mini pro models. I would miss it terribly because of its rock solid capabilities. The only thing I would suggest to you is changing your props to the Master Airscrew Stealth models. Cuts down on the noise quite a bit. Cheers and happy aviating!!! 😊😊😊😊
Thank you for your comment, I may try to get the 4 Pro. I do love flying the 4 and I do have some Master Airscrew props but only for the old Phantom 3's. Many thanks for the info and thanks for watching.
Great video. I've been thinking of getting another 3 standard. I may be better off with the 4.
Thank you Gil, you can get some great deals now on the 4. Many thanks for watching :)
Show de bola dji phantom 😊
Yes still amazing drone.
The P4 seems to be holding its own. I think it will hold its value with its capabilities. I am concerned with the Nov 2023 remote I’d requirements that will come out here in the states. May ground some even more recent drones.
Many thanks Joe, it's a shame with these new requirements - seems here we got till 2026, bit more time to fly them, unless the change the laws :)
there is already an FAA approved addon module albeit its 300 bucks, i would think you could put it on a p4p or whatever drone, more modules should come out i would think
@@cmdrefstathiusplacidus9003 Many thanks :)
I've just brought a mavic pro an I'm very happy with it, I couldn't afford it a few years back but for 300 it's worth it's weight in gold
Great bargain Joe, I still own the DJI Mavic Pro and its a great work horse, enjoy your new drone :)
Great drone, flying this until now, but one of its problem i mostly encountered is the weakness of its signal that always automatically returns to homepoint
Thank you, never really pushed it on its distance yet but still a great drone for its time. Many thanks for watching.
Chique drone ❤❤❤
Many thanks for watching.
Nice video thanks for posting. Does the tablet need to have cellular service connection? Or will a normal IPad or Android tablet work?
Thank you Glen, glad you enjoyed the video. None of my tablets / iPads have cellular, so no problem while out flying. Many thanks for watching :)
@@shaunthedrone Thanks Shaun! I just picked up a Phantom 3 Advance for $150.00 CDN. It came with two batteries and came in a DJI backpack.
The back pack alone sells for $250.00 CDN 🇨🇦 bought it at a Pawn shop. The owner of the shop is originally from Australia 🇦🇺
New that quad sold for $1500.00 here. It’s all working fine, the radio transmitter and the quad!
@@RC-Flight that's a great bargain plus a back pack for the drone, enjoy :)
Hello!
I just bought a DJI Mini 4 Pro. I was thinking about selling my Phantom 4 Pro but... It is a beast. I´ve used it just a few times (size is a matter) but for some jobs it is a great drone. So I am thinking about not selling for a few bucks a keeping it.
Regards from Spain too!! :P
Thank you, yes good idea to keep it. It's a solid drone, yes it is big and heavy but if you want something that can fly in all windy conditions, the Phantom 4 can handle it. Many thanks for watching - Spains amazing place to live.
Great video, quite interesting and informative. I think I'll buy the Phantom 4, it's clearly an extremely capable craft.
Happy flying, Shaun.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and still a great drone to fly - hope you enjoy your Phantom 4 :)
I own the phantom for Pro plus which the controller has the screen very sharp!
Good to know George and many thanks for watching.
Hi thank you for the video!
I have a P4 I love it but now is broken and I can´t fix it.
Someone offers me a P4 advanced which is in good conditions.
I´m scared about the spare parts.
Would you recommend it to me?
Thanks
Hi, sorry to hear about your P4, true about spare parts. When I had my Phantoms, I used to crash them and getting spare parts was a nightmare, there was people about that used to fix but that was years ago and I would imagine spare parts are rare. If it's a good price and you love the P4/Advanced get it or maybe go for a newer drone, which would be smaller, less weight - it's your choice :)
@@shaunthedrone thank you!!!!
Loads of spares in e bay or just buy another s/h 4
Would this be a good investment if I already have a mini 2? One of my buddies is giving me a good deal on a Phantom 4 Pro and I kind of want to buy it. I know it does have more capabilities and such, but is quite bigger than the mini 2. The main reason I’m wanting to buy it is because I feel that I would be getting a lot of value out of what I’m paying. On the other hand, I don’t want to waste the money since I already have a solid drone.
Good question and one you can only make. The Phantom 4 Pro, is a solid drone and still on the market, manly used now for mapping. Me personally, it's a big heavy drone, it's loud and you need a big bag to carry it. Where as the Mini 2, could fit in your pocket! I will be sharing my thoughts on the DJI Mini 3 Pro, best drone on the market for the everyday flyer. Good luck with your decision :)
@@shaunthedrone Okay! Thanks for your thoughts, Shaun. I am wanting to get into real estate videography and mapping/photogrammetry, so I might just pick up the Phantom 4 Pro as well. The Mini 2 is really solid for just filming but the Phantom 4 Pro seems like it has more capability in terms of accurately mapping an area. I am going to go check it out tonight and make my decision if I want to buy it.
@@huntertomlinson2351 a wise decision :)
Shaun, my P4V2 is still one of my favorite drones among my fleet
@@txarchdroneguy4731 good to know, I must fly my P4 more, many thanks for watching :)
I use mine to hunt for runaway rc planes when they crash :)
Good idea Mark, many thanks for watching :)
My father gave me his as he stopped using it. How is the picture quality?
I am watching videos now so I can learn how to use it.
Hi, I've only flown it once and the picture quality was very good. What I did notice that when flying forward in speed, the props are seen in the video, while the new drones don't. I will be making more videos of the Phantom 4 later in the year. Enjoy flying your new drone :)
@@shaunthedrone Thanks for taking the time to write a response. Cheers!
I just bought one today in jersey for 150$ p4 and I fly more advance drones but nothing like the OG drone
Good price, have fun with it. Many thanks for watching.
Shaun 😄🤙🏽🇵🇷🍊Fanta
Top man you found me :)
Definitely still a good drone, just a bit on the un portable size! Where abouts are you?
Very true Rob, many thanks for watching - South East of Spain :)
@@shaunthedrone no problem, weather looks good ! Have subscribed
My app does not work any suggestions?
Try downloading the app again Roy, or if you have the Litchi app, give that a go. If all else fails, contact DJI Support :)
Its not the app, but more the device your using to fly it with. Newer Android phones (past 2-3 years) no longer support the Go 4 app. If you have an older phone/tablet laying around you can get the app and it will work just fine. I use 5 & 6th Gen apple tablets and Samsung Galaxy 8 phone and another older Android tablet that works perfectly.
