Great review! I just bought one. I have only flown it three times so far. Seems really easy to fly. I have to keep practising. Thanks for the tips. Fly safe.
I'm considering buying a P4 and don't know much about quad copters. I've watched numerous videos and find that yours is by far the most informative. Thank You!
Larry Manuel Thanks for the kind words. The P4 and newer P4 Pro are probably the best all around drones on the market. You cant go wrong with them. Feel free to shoot me any other questions you have.
They are if the battery will charge I went back to change the battery 5 times in the end I just took the phantom 4 back got my money back they are utter rubbish don’t waste your money

Andor Koval Great to hear you found the video useful. Positive feedback is what keeps us making videos. Make sure to subscribe as we have over 200 videos like this one.
Thanks for your video your video should be a must for new flyers with the Phantom 4. This is my fourth DJI product the first being the DJI phantom 2 vision + ,the inspire 1, the phantom 3 professional and now the phantom 4. I use my quad copters for photography and not for racing so this quad copter is ideal for my needs. I am extremely happy with the additions to this quad copter. I take nothing for granted when flying so these extra items for me are just safety measures.
+Curtis Howard Great to hear you like the video and congrats on your P4. It's a great bird and we love ours. Thanks for watching and don't forget to LIKE and subscribe.
Thank you for your well done intro! I just wanted to mention I had little difficulty updating the radio through the Go app but found it necessary to download and use the DJI Assistant 2 software to update the copter after several attempts failed. I presume my 3 batteries did not require updates since they all indicated being up to date. Also I was unable to install the DJI Assistant 2 on an older Windows Media Center computer but no problem with Windows 7 (still old). Perhaps my older Google Nexus 10 tablet was the problem when updating the copter.
@@JonniArmani Same here, its 2024 and I bought a P4P a couple months after you. You did good! From all reports these are still a desired and practical drone, especially with the mechanical shutter. What are your plans with the drone? The quality and functionality of the P4P is amazing.
Awesome video... Thanks for sharing all of the information with us. I'm soon to get my DJI 4, and am looking forward to learning how to work with it. I started out flying the cheap toy drones, Now that I feel comfortable with flight, I'm ready to step up to better drone, The DJI 4. Can hardly wait to get it... I'll be watching your videos, I will need all the information and or help that I can get. Again, Thanks for sharing... Thumbs Up, and I'm a subscriber now.
Thank you for doing this excellent video on the Phantom 4. I just purchased a DJI P4 today, and it happens to be my first quadcopter of any sort. You really nailed down why I chose this because of all the safety features... Great detailed and useful review!
5 years later. I just got a P4 and started watching your video. I must say that 9:37 was a trigger for me. There is nothing quite like watching your $1800 drone Slam into an obstacle at 20 miles an hour and 50’ … “The Horror. The Horror!!!!”
All the videos state that it won't pick up power lines, which is good advice, but amazingly I was tracking my friends car, he took off down the road, I couldn't notice the power line from where I was cause of background or whatever, but out of the blue the alarm sounded and it stopped!! Didn't even know why at first but even in video can clearly see the power line right in front sure enough!! It was horizontal if that makes any difference, and i certainly wouldn't bank on it, but in very first day drone was saved from power line with the avoidance system!!! Can't believe it lol!!
Strange, all 200 comments I saw were either “thanks for the review very helpful” or a serious question, nothing else I guess I’m the first to say something else
Excellent review! so tired of vidoes with m\loud music. Good detail, I live in the suburbs, Lots of forest and few homes. Can you tell me a realistic distance lets say at 80% battery remaining then return to home? Miles, yards? Thanks
Great review on these. I remember my first Quad the DJI Phantom 1 with a GoPro slung underneath. By the way, these are not called 'Copters'. They are called 'Quads'. Copter is short for ' helicopter'. These are NOT helicopters!
Make sure you have done at least 1 good compass calibration and make sure you allow for as many Sats as possible before arming the motors on take off. The app will also tell you that the home position has been recorded. A high K value can also make Sats less accurate. An app light UAV Forecast (free) will tell you the K value when flying. The higher the number the worse your GPS accuracy will be. You want 5 or less for best.
Thank you for the reply, I didn't know what a lightning cable was so I googled it, now I know. As you can tell I don't know much about quad copters. even tho I have flown model airplanes for years everything from stick models that you cover with tissue to 40% IMAC models, now I am interested in guad copters the videos I see posted on you tube is very entreating As a nube would you recommend the phantom 4 over the phantom 4P for me. Thank you so much.
Very informative video! At 25:40, how were you able to show both the telemetry icon (on the lower left of screen) and the map (on lower right) of the DJI GO app? I can't seem to get both on screen; the icon functions as a toogle and appears only on lower left of screen.
My gimbal not straight after changing yaw motor now I don't have old motor I have installed new yaw motor now my gimbal not straight ..please give me solution by software or others.. Remember I lost old motor OK don't ask about old megnit was broken
hello. i've got a phantom 4 advanced. 2 weeks old now, it said to do a firmware upgrade so i did so then i needed to recalibrate my vision sensors so i did so. now on my controller, it's not displaying the video stream from the drone to my monitor. any help with this
Aeroworks Productions I tried downloading the zip file from djis website and it kept timing out on me. Are you able to send me a link or even the vip file for Mac to do the update?
Its like a radar screen and you are the center. Once you fly out a bit, the blue arrow represents the copter in relation to you in the center of the dot. Turn the copter and point it back to the center and you are flying back to you. Great if you loose orientation while flying out a ways.
My phantom 4 continues to say cannot fly ? I set compass calibration , but no motors spin. I live across the street from a small airport, and just want fly in my backyard couple feet off the ground for practice, but no good.
When you was showing the active track and TapFly, I noticed some problem in the camera, like its not clear, I think it happen when there is to much light, If you got me, I wonder why is that happening??!. I also saw it while using someone else Inspire 1
If you're talking about the black-and-white zebra lines that's indicating an over exposed area we weren't focusing too much on the exposure just the activetrack for the video.
+Aeroworks Productions I would love to subscribe, I support all my subscribers videos over 350 its hard to keep up, I sub when my channel is supported, thanks again 😎 ✌🏼
I don't understand how ppl don't use these for filming or making art with them. When I see ppl just flying them or taking Aerial shots for no particular reason. It makes me want to smack them, then steal their drone for purposeful shots. Nobody cares about aerial shots when it's just a pretty location. You need to make it interesting. Soooooo many people wasting their money on brainless drone shots. Make art or film something interesting at least.
Very informative thanks brother ! Buying one tomorrow
Thanks for the comment, not sure you can still get the P4 though.
@@AeroworksProductions got one

Very clear and useful video.
Thx! A nice review!
Thanks! This video provide IMP knowledge.
We've also added the addition of sport mode. I'm not insulting your grammar I'm asking if you had a hand in developing the p4?
Thanks for the great review
it will fly faster in p mode if the avoidance system is turned off. great video 👍

I just bought a DJI Phantom 4 pro new in the box for $821.00 ..I do not know the retail price of it but I think I got a good deal...
Nice Review, please Can and Do DJI phantom 4 automatically return to home if loss signal strength or run out of battery power?

My Phantom 4 Pro will not return to her home target ,coamanybody explain to me why

It's not an Android cable.. is for connection the drone to a computer and use the dji software for windows or mac.
Hello, where are you reviewing the drone from
I loved that video. I's like a Tutorial. It is clean and neat. I learned much of it. I subscribed. I am waiting my Phantom 4 to be delivered... :-)
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Weekly drone vlog and training videos.
Thank you for the reply, I didn't know what a lightning cable was so I googled it, now I know.
As you can tell I don't know much about quad copters. even tho I have flown model airplanes for years everything from stick models that you cover with tissue to 40% IMAC models, now I am interested in guad copters the videos I see posted on you tube is very entreating
As a nube would you recommend the phantom 4 over the phantom 4P for me.
Thank you so much.
Good information. Thanks
What free app can I use to setup my phantom 4, DJI fly go wants to charge me. I saved to get it and I can't afford to pay for the app.
thanks for great video
How do I know if my drone needs any updates. Do I need to connect the drone to the tablet using the USB connectors to check for updates.
loved it Thank you.....🙏🙏🙏
while recording video, can you press the shutter button to take a still photo without disrupting the video?
+mel rolleri nope
Hey Midtownguy! here!
I found out bye placing the proper guards on Phantom 4 drone the voidance sensors! get turned off!
Hello Adam. Thaks for the demo! Good job. I was wondering if you have a Autel XStar Premium that you can do a review on.
Thanks for watching. We should have one soon and definitely will be reviewing it so stay tuned!
M a,8'mk. M ,c to go out m.
Ry
Aeroworks Productions I love the drone but how can u afford something so expensive especially a drone..
it's an awesome drone
Amazing review :)
I heard the upgrade lowers the transmitter power causing a smaller range, the copter won't fly as far but I don't know if it's true
We haven't experienced any issues. You can also set video channel manually for better range and/or video feed.
Apparently the June 1 update seems to make everything better, if I have time I will fly the drone today and see what happens thank you

Hi. Can you please explain the circle in the bottom left corner of the past and how it relates to orientating the drone. Thanks.

how fast can it fly in Active track? I want to use it to film one RC car running on a track.

At 53.52 What is this, A Phamtom 3, or a Phamtom 4 Pro?
very well informed video on the new Phantom can you use fpv goggles with it?
If you add the HDMI board to the back of the radio you could plug-in goggles directly to your remote.
