Justin, I can't thank you enough for your work and dedication to safe successful drone flying. I am a complete rookie novice to drones. I've just enrolled in a commercial drone flight training course. I just purchased a Phantom Pro 4 and will be using this for the course. Your videos are so incredibly helpful, informative, and strictly following important safety guidelines, I feel so much more prepared and ready to launch into my new drone training course. I've subscribed to your channel and will be following closely for any news and updates that you produce!! All the best, Jay Wiley/Ardmore,PA
Great review! I absolutely LOVE my P4P! I've never had a problem with the app crashing using my Galaxy S7 Edge and I've had mine since the 2nd week in December. I've flown it in -20 degree F weather multiple times. I have noticed some jello in my video in sub zero temps, but other than that it's an amazing quad. Keep up the good work bro!
I have the Phantom 2 vision,the Phantom 3 pro,both of which were purchased used and only have had them for 2 months.I really like the 3 Pro and yesterday I had the opportunity to make the purchase of a refurbished 4 pro and at a great price and jumped at the chance. Hope that when it arrives it will be just as good as new like they say it should be.
I knew those from those aerial shots you were like in my backyard, nearly literally, Glenwood Community. Solid. You must have gone out on that one clear day this February.
If you ever want a nice spot to shoot video, which has ground line of sight to all three mountains, my work is on 30+ acres with minimal trees and only 7 miles from here. Just let me know.
Hi Justin, I found your old video on the DJI phantom 4 that I am getting this week once again since my last one as you know was stolen. I am still going to buy the mini that you recommended by email. As you know I wanted one to hook up my thermo camera for search and rescue operations and was unsure if the mini was capable of doing it so I wanted this one first. Mine is coming with an iPad mini in which I felt was nice at least I hope until I buy a smart controller with its own screen. The seller fortunately respects vets like you do and understands my injuries from understanding my injuries from overseas and is throwing a few extras he stated and like you assisting me where he can. I appreciate you covering details about it much like the heat factor since Florida is a very high heat state. I would appreciate a call from you at some point as I know that I will need to get a remote i.d. to be legal of course here in the near future. The drone officially was shipped as of yesterday so I should be receiving it in a few days.
I use a Samsung j3 prime and never had problems use it with my p4 and p4 pro works great never had video stall or blur it's awesome I guess just depends on how how many apps your running and app notifications. Never had problems with my cheap prime j3 with metro pc
Good review as usual,. Dji insist on keep changing everything so nothing from previous versions will work with new version requiring you to buy more props, more batteries, ect. I like my phantom, and Mavic, but I also think my GoPro Karma has features that are superior if you are looking at video or photography. Sensors are nice but only two crashes I have had was hitting limbs above the quad.
Is there likely to be a problem in the near future of obtaining parts, as batteries etc. as the technology is now 7 to 10 years old, when today it is measured in minutes.
Great video Justin. I just wonder how you feel this drone stands up today with the current range of DJI drones available, in particular if you had to choose between this and a Mavic 2 PRO where would you put your hard earned dollars?
i got my Phantom 4 yesterday really don't see a huge difference with the Pro version plus its out of my range and hopefully next year i can get the Inspire 2 that's the drone i really want but for right now im gonna enjoy my Phantom 4 and dope video by the way bro
phantom 4 pro since update the screen is very laggy june 2017 any ideas ? Samsung Tab 10.5 used. and the Forced update is not fair fora lot of reasons. But seeing as MOST lots did not fly with rules in mind I can see why. hope you can help. DJI are No Help.
Thanks for the nice review. One remark: When one motor drops out can't the opposite motor stop too? In that case the Phantom might be able to fly with 2 propellors, no? No crash then. But that needs a soft(firmm)ware update by DJI I presume.
Thanks for this great review. One question- How come your video looks so fantastic on UA-cam? My experience has shown that my HD uploads don't look nearly as good, especially when viewing on Full screen - it seems that UA-cam limits the resolution somehow. Thanks.
Make sure your UA-cam viewing settings are set to the quality you know the video was uploaded at. I only found this out myself last week after a computer tech mate pointed it out to me.
Did you begin by saying that DJI do not give support to the Phantom 4; using the same scenario that means next year they won't give support to the Phantom 4 Pro? If that's the case what about consumer rights? Mike in Oz
Mr camps your channels rather good glad I subbed I literally have a few racing quads and still keep looking at the phantom I like it flown one and yh it's either this or the connex falcore or the rtf walkera f210 or something I have saved like crazy now can't decide
Great review! I wish I could afford one. It would come in handy surveying properties and with our volunteer fire dept if we have more missing persons which unfortunately we do get. I'm where the Mississippi river and Ohio river meet and we do have several searches/recoveries a year A drone would make it MUCH FASTER!
DJI Go 4 app update...May 27. Phantom 4 Pro...Be cautious... my update changed the manual controls...It was windy, so brought it home....didn't like where it was landing, so took manual control and the Up control was now Forward!!! Crashed into rocks immediately! Minor damage...2 broken props and 1 prop guard...check settings before you fly!
No sensor on top to protect the propellers in close flying. That is that I need in this small Er size compared to the higher grade Inspire. It is to big. Phantom pro4 is just right but in small inside spaces for my job. Why nothing on top?
my p4p+ is not so good as yours ,mine as poor video feed at close range at 4k at 1080p it ok, then my app crashes ,the range is not so good as my old p3p , what firmwear is on yours i read that that there put updated firmwear in the later ones now,
Can anyone please tell me if the Phantom 4 Pro has the ability to come back to the controller by using home lock in case I am moving during piloting,, ( like on the boat for example ) so meaning my starting and current position have changed.. thanks a lot
mr. vain vice fantom 4 is,way to noisy and big to carry all around I have the mavic and it has the same range as the can't 4 but it's smaller easy to carry and put up in the,air fast and it has a 4k camera so there for the mavic is the best drone on the market
Nice Joel. If you're interested in racers you have to check out my channel. It is loaded with race videos. Last week we drag raced Team Ferrari with race drones... check that one out!
just sub'd. I am in the market to get my first drone. I just dont know what to buy....there are a lot out there. I have narrowed it down to the Bugs3 or a Sygma?? i'm sure i'm getting that wrong. Anyways, here is what i'm looking for....can someone help point me in the right direction?? brushless (keep reading its the way to go), 10-20 minutes of flight time, around 150-200m range, can hold a gopro (stability is important), headless mode, return to home. and i'm looking to spend around 100 bucks, give or take. would love some feedback....the bugs3 is just missing the return to home. Since its my first drone, I hear it makes it easier. Unless someone can tell me otherwise. Thanks everyone!
i've had my eyes set on the x16, but keep on back at the bugs 3. I see people had moded a gimbal on it for the gopro. what would you suggest for a gopro ready drone??? I just want one that I know I can fly a good distance and get some cool, steady shots. I know what I want is mostly found in the 1k drones....but hey, I can dream, right?

DroneWolf Media lets see ur utube p4p vids then!!
I bought the P4P last week and already had two great flights. Very happy with this great drone.
Just got a Phantom 4 pro and it’s a whole new beast to the Mavic Air
Just got our new Mavis Pro, both these cases look great, can't wait to start using this drone!
I have the Phantom 2 vision,the Phantom 3 pro,both of which were purchased used and only have had them for 2 months.I really like the 3 Pro and yesterday I had the opportunity to make the purchase of a refurbished 4 pro and at a great price and jumped at the chance. Hope that when it arrives it will be just as good as new like they say it should be.
Will be purchasing one within the next 30 days. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Very well done. Currently zeroing in on my first drone.
I knew those from those aerial shots you were like in my backyard, nearly literally, Glenwood Community. Solid. You must have gone out on that one clear day this February.
If you ever want a nice spot to shoot video, which has ground line of sight to all three mountains, my work is on 30+ acres with minimal trees and only 7 miles from here. Just let me know.
Sounds good. I'm always looking to fly new scenic spots. Shoot me an email Anthony. ~ JD.
Now that it is 2024 and DJI for some time now has not had support for the phantom 4. Would you still consider buying one
man I need to get me a phantom , also great reviews! I really enjoy them

fyi. You can buy a replacement piece for the controller to get the Plus features of hdmi. Easy swap out as well.
Niceeeee change that into music after Casey wheezed your juice 👌👍👏
AGREED!
+DEMUNSEED! Thanks Jim. I'm really enjoying this quad. Not missing my old 4.
Looking forward to seeing more tutorial vids with the Phantom 4 Pro, i just bought one last month and its so bad ass!
Good review as usual,. Dji insist on keep changing everything so nothing from previous versions will work with new version requiring you to buy more props, more batteries, ect. I like my phantom, and Mavic, but I also think my GoPro Karma has features that are superior if you are looking at video or photography.

Suprisingly I agree! It took me a few years to warm up to the lineup
Is there likely to be a problem in the near future of obtaining parts, as batteries etc. as the technology is now 7 to 10 years old, when today it is measured in minutes.
Excellent video. Great review. I have a P4 Advanced. Love it. Fly safe.
Great video Justin. I just wonder how you feel this drone stands up today with the current range of DJI drones available, in particular if you had to choose between this and a Mavic 2 PRO where would you put your hard earned dollars?

Awesome!
Can you provide a list of the top engineers in the world, thanks
With the 1 inch sensor, 20 mp is not crowding the array. It's 20mp's done right.
phantom 4 pro since update the screen is very laggy june 2017 any ideas ? Samsung Tab 10.5 used. and the Forced update is not fair fora lot of reasons. But seeing as MOST lots did not fly with rules in mind I can see why. hope you can help. DJI are No Help.

A quad doesn't fly with less then 4 motors... 😉
killer review! lots of info others haven't covered.
great review as always sir

got mine yesterday and sold my p4 on eBay. can you do video on ND filters or what fits it. thx love your channel
What color settings your are using to get this kind of vibrant video?
I want to put the Z XT thermos camera on. Will it mount and function?
Did they fix all the software issues????
Great review! I love watching them. maybe the wife will let me buy one some day.........I DOUBT IT! LOL
No sensor on top to protect the propellers in close flying. That is that I need in this small Er size compared to the higher grade Inspire. It is to big. Phantom pro4 is just right but in small inside spaces for my job. Why nothing on top?
I just ordered a Phantom 4 Pro +, is it hard or something? Never had a drone before, it's my first drone.
Timur D. Masterpiece don't fly too away the first time
Pretty cool video dude.
my p4p+ is not so good as yours ,mine as poor video feed at close range at 4k at 1080p it ok, then my app crashes ,the range is not so good as my old p3p , what firmwear is on yours i read that that there put updated firmwear in the later ones now,
did you say mechanical shutter? i knew it has one for stills - but i thought video didn't - ty for great review
What is the best phone to use?
where did you film this? Oregon or Washington? thanks
I'm installing a Parachute on mine
Ray I was thinking the same... after I crashed mine thanksgiving day... Lol
I love my dji phantom 4 pro. Just wish our city weren't so stingy about us flying lol.
They already stopped support on the phantom 4? Are you kidding me? I was going to buy a phantom 3 but maybe I shouldn't.
Awesome, now you need to include the P4P+.... 👍👍👍👍
same gear, 4plus has a screen is all
Nop, it also has an HDMI Port...
for an additional 99 bux, you too may buy an HDMI port for the P4P or the plus.
Bang Switch ok, and how much more for a good ipad or compatible tablet? ...
***** Thanks for your advice.
Can anyone please tell me if the Phantom 4 Pro has the ability to come back to the controller by using home lock in case I am moving during piloting,, ( like on the boat for example ) so meaning my starting and current position have changed.. thanks a lot
Are you located in southwest Washington?
Hi awesome page ☺ Keep it up!
Lots of water, is that Mt Shasta I see in the background?
Mount Hood back there
How loud is P4 Pro compared to Mavic Pro if I may ask.
Quite a bit louder I think
Thank you.
side sensors only work in beginner mode, right??
Beginner and tripod modes
have a phantom 3 standard plan on getting the 4
mr. vain vice fantom 4 is,way to noisy and big to carry all around I have the mavic and it has the same range as the can't 4 but it's smaller easy to carry and put up in the,air fast and it has a 4k camera so there for the mavic is the best drone on the market
100000000% agree
I thought you were gonna show footage of the racers? That's why i hung thru your vid.
Nice Joel. If you're interested in racers you have to check out my channel. It is loaded with race videos. Last week we drag raced Team Ferrari with race drones... check that one out!
AT 22:00 are those marks on the grass by the airgates from the racing drones?
Yep
Gus F look like tire marks. Probably a large rc truck or buggy
what about the p4 do a comparision if possible
yeah I will one day get that
william thechosenone same but one day
nice i love dji :)
p4 series is the best drone in the market i have p4 and for me its ok p4p its a little too expensive
Phantom is nice
I would love mine that I own if I could get it to update and take off it refuses to update
osm really super
Pity DJI.. customer services, can't live up to there products..
Torn between P4P and the Mavic.
Image quality = P4 Pro. Portability? = Mavic
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊. ไฟไฟไฟไฟไฟแอดพ์.
just sub'd. I am in the market to get my first drone. I just dont know what to buy....there are a lot out there. I have narrowed it down to the Bugs3 or a Sygma?? i'm sure i'm getting that wrong. Anyways, here is what i'm looking for....can someone help point me in the right direction??
brushless (keep reading its the way to go), 10-20 minutes of flight time, around 150-200m range, can hold a gopro (stability is important), headless mode, return to home. and i'm looking to spend around 100 bucks, give or take.
would love some feedback....the bugs3 is just missing the return to home. Since its my first drone, I hear it makes it easier. Unless someone can tell me otherwise. Thanks everyone!
For that price range you will get none of those things.
Kwad Skwad is right. Those features cost way more for manufacturers to add to a drone.
+Jeff Kelly I would look at the Bayangtoys X16 or the AO SEN MA CG035
I know its a long shot....thanks for the response though =)
i've had my eyes set on the x16, but keep on back at the bugs 3. I see people had moded a gimbal on it for the gopro. what would you suggest for a gopro ready drone??? I just want one that I know I can fly a good distance and get some cool, steady shots. I know what I want is mostly found in the 1k drones....but hey, I can dream, right?
💯👍🏾
I want a drone to gly it to the philippines
👍
These drones are the same as a plane autopilot,where is the fun in that.
4:17 drunk flying?
Just a joke. Don't try it.
13:12 Hex is six, not five.
Yes I know. :) I was speaking of a hexacopter losing a motor and going into 5 motor mode.
Can you give this drone to me please please pleeeeeeeeaaaaaasssseeeee
