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
Great video 👍👍👍 i just picked up a P4 at a second hand charity shop for $25 it needs a copter battery but hey 25 bucks with everything in the box except for the manual its worth a shot.
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.
@@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.
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.

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

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!!!!”

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.
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.
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.
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!!
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
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.
Those are called zebra stripes and it's a feature in most video cameras now days letting you know areas that may be over exposed. You can turn off this feature or lower the exposure. We were not focusing on proper exposure for this video but more about the flight features. We will be covering advanced features in an upcoming video so stay tuned.
Hello I've got a phantom 4 and has a problem with the video when recording it is showing some line on the video the video is not clear any help with the problem
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.
You can flight forward with the camera pointed down but you would have to keep a visual on the Phantom as the camera would only seeing the ground. Was that your question?
Both Wi-Fi only and cellular iPad Air/Mini/Pro models are compatible. Only cellular models have GPS. You do not have to enable the cell service in order to use the GPS. The DJI GO app currently only requires GPS on an Apple device when using the Follow Me feature or to reset the home point to your current location if you've moved elsewhere after taking off.
Hi, one question pertaining to the Active Track feature; will the drone maintain the relative position to the subject as was set at the point of turning on Active Track. Asked another way, will the drone maintain the height, distance and relative angle to the subject from the point of turning on Active Track and assigning the subject (then hitting GO)? Thanks
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!
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.
+Doogies Vids We don't sell the sunshade but you can get them direct from DJI or Amazon, search DJI iPad sunshade. We applied our Aeroworks stickers to ours.
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.
+Travel Show Not really, retractable gear requires more weight and battery power. Unless you have a 360 gimbal there really is no need for it. Even on our Inspire 1 which has that ability, we often fly nose in around our subjects anyway.
+Travel Show We recent owned and flew the Yuneec H920 until it completely failed for no reason. In 5 years of full time UAS flying the only 2 complete failure we have had were both Yuneec products. We no longer support Yuneec.
Unfortunatley its no different than pushing your sticks in any one direction, you either need to cancel the flight or have a max distance limit set to trigger RTH. One thing with all these "Auto" modes is you still need to pilot the copter. We'll be diving deeper into some of these settings in another video soon.
+Jason Austin Nothing wrong with it at all. We fly manual 90% of the time. All these auto modes are a little gimmicky. You try them a few times then just go back to how we have been flying them for years, hands on.
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.

At the beginning this drone technology is there since 25yrs?

Awesome, I can't wait until this weekend when I can finally set up my Phantom 4 and start flying/filming!
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
Your tutorial its amazing! Congrats! Next week I will buy for first and I'm so exiting :)
just bought a P4 cant wait to try it out tomorrow

Hi. Can you please explain the circle in the bottom left corner of the past and how it relates to orientating the drone. Thanks.
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.
Nice Review, please Can and Do DJI phantom 4 automatically return to home if loss signal strength or run out of battery power?
very nicely done

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.

great work, what ipad u used? thx
iPad mini 7".
At 53.52 What is this, A Phamtom 3, or a Phamtom 4 Pro?
can you fly the drone and look straight down to the ground with the camera yet maintain that forward altitude ?
You can flight forward with the camera pointed down but you would have to keep a visual on the Phantom as the camera would only seeing the ground. Was that your question?

Is it necessary to have iPad with Internet or just wifi?
Both Wi-Fi only and cellular iPad Air/Mini/Pro models are compatible. Only cellular models have GPS. You do not have to enable the cell service in order to use the GPS. The DJI GO app currently only requires GPS on an Apple device when using the Follow Me feature or to reset the home point to your current location if you've moved elsewhere after taking off.

are the gimbel an camera removeable on phantom4
They are but not really meant to be removed by user. In the case of a failure or repair but not made for quick release.
Excellent review, Wish you sold the Phantom 4, I would buy from you.
We do on our store site at www.hardcoredrones.com
Sorry, but the higher motors DO NOT eliminate the props in the frame. It still show the props if you're on a tilt.
HI, what is the effective range of video down-link?
+Travel Show Up to 3 miles. Much further than you could see the copter.
+Aeroworks Productions Thx. Its rather disappointing that they failed to make it with raising gear.
+Travel Show Not really, retractable gear requires more weight and battery power. Unless you have a 360 gimbal there really is no need for it. Even on our Inspire 1 which has that ability, we often fly nose in around our subjects anyway.
+Aeroworks Productions yes with 360. Typhoon H will have the whole package. But with very short distance, huge let down

Larry Shreffler Using a lightning cable from your iPad to the transmitter. You iPad will mount on a bracket on the transmitter.
Thank you for your reply
does the Phantom 4 pro fit in the phantom 3 pro "dji" backpack?
How does TapFly know how far to go?
Unfortunatley its no different than pushing your sticks in any one direction, you either need to cancel the flight or have a max distance limit set to trigger RTH. One thing with all these "Auto" modes is you still need to pilot the copter. We'll be diving deeper into some of these settings in another video soon.
+Aeroworks Productions thanks for the reply. But you said unfortunately along flying with the sticks. There's nothing wrong with having to fly 😬
