DJI CPT.PT.000312-B White "Phantom 4 Professional Aerial UAV Quadcopter Drone with Built-In 4K Full HD Video" Camera and Sport Mode - white

The Phantom 4 is an amazing piece of toy for everyone! The older you get the more expensive your toy is ;)

Simply fantastic bit of kit. Super easy to fly and set up. You really can get fantastic video footage from the drone. Has a quality feel to it and comes with a nice little carry case. Also dji support very helpfull!

Not the professional model

Just change the damn title so people don't get confused

Customers are having increasing problems with getting support from DJI when problems arise. You could be left with a white elephant

Es todo un prodigio tecnológico. La calidad de manejo en cuanto a prestaciones, precisión, estabilidad, alcance... son increibles. No he tenido la oportunidad de comparar con otros drones de la competencia, o de la propia marca DJI, pero para un usuario amateur como es mi caso, sobrepasará vuestras expectativas. Interesante que tengáis en cuenta que el dron es muy fácilmente usable, dado que tiene múltiples modos de funcionamiento: manual, semi-automático, full automático... etc además de varios sensores anticolisión, que os harán la vida más fácil. Adicionalmente, dispone de modos como vuelos programados, return home ante casos de riesgo (batería baja, pérdida de conexión... etc). La calidad del vídeo es bastante buena. Intachable en cuanto a estabilización, y muy decente en cuanto a calidad del vídeo y fotografía. De nuevo, siempre hablando de un usuario amateur (desconozco que exige un usuario profesional). El dron viene equipado con una batería, dos juegos de hélices, así como un maletín de corcho (de bastante calidad) en el que guardar todos los accesorios. La parte negativa es el precio de los accesorios, bastante caros a mi entender. Especialmente en el caso de las baterías, que además son especialmente sensibles a los ciclos de carga/descarga y temperaturas. Por último y no menos importante, ten en cuenta que volar estos aparatos está muy, muy restringido. El dron os indicará donde se puede volar, y donde no, pero es recomendable que os informéis sobre los lugares en los que vais a querer volarlo de cara a valorar si os interesa comprar este aparato, o no.

DJI Phantom 4 first impressions has been a fun ride to say the least. In the past, the best quadcopter I used was about $150 on Amazon. While it was enjoyable to fly around, it doesn’t surmount to the level of the Phantom 4. No duh…Captain Obvious, right? Until you’ve got some experience with the Phantom 4, coming from a minor league quadcopter, you just don’t appreciate what you have in-front of you. The DJI Phantom 4 is a quality built machine that packs tons of features! Not too mention rather easy to fly. DJI Phantom 4 Unboxing One of the great things about the Phantom 4 is it’s packaging. The box it comes in can be used a case itself. No need to go out and buy a case to protect the drone. The Phantom 4 isn’t cheap, so it’s appreciated of DJI to help the user save some money. I’d rather buy an extra battery than worry about how the drone will be stored. This Phantom 4 is the base model and ships with… Drone 8 propellors/blades Controller Battery 16GB Lexmark 633x SD card Power cable/brick OTG and USB cable Box/case Manuals In this base package there is everything needed to get started. The next couple of accessories to get for the drone would be extra battery or two and a large 4k supported SD card. Apart from those accessories you can get by just fine without the need to get anything else. Thankfully, the case comes with a couple extra slots for more batteries, which is great! Personally, when I get a chance I want to get more batteries to increase the time to fly the drone in one setting. Phantom 4 Setup The biggest piece of advice about getting the drone all setup is to do two things. 1) At least read the Quick Start Guide. 2) Watch many tips and guides YouTube videos as possible. This will help familiarize what the controls are and how to successfully fly the drone. More advice includes… Use a device that can easily be seen outdoors in direct sunlight. Such as a Galaxy S6/7, Note 5 or a tablet. Get the app downloaded. Use the tutorials on the DJI Go app. Don’t be a hero. Take your time and gradually increase your skill level. Let the controller and battery charge fully before first flight. During the first flight, simply maneuver circuits and practice flying inverted. If shooting video with the included SD card, drop the resolution to 1080p to save space on the card. 4K can eat up some storage space quickly. Last, be safe and make sure no people, animals, or obstructions are nearby. Safety is very important. Make sure to know what your local regulations are for flying drones. Ease of Setup One of the things that I was pretty impressed with was how simple the setup process was. Basically, as far as the parts go all there is to be done is twist on the props and slide in the battery. Getting the software going was a little more tricky, but not too difficult. Long story short, upon first flight setup connect the remote controller to the phone or tablet of choice > download the DJI GO app, follow the instructions via app, and turn the drone on. Overall, the entire setup took me about 20 minutes and that’s with reading the Quick Start Guide provided step-by-step. First Flight Got to be honest here, nerves were pretty high because I didn’t want to mess the drone up on the first attempt to fly. I’ve got a little bit of experience flying less of quality quadcopters, but nothing used comes close to this level of drones. Not too mention the cost involved. The Phantom 4 is no inexpensive/cheap toy, it is a piece of equipment and is to be respected. Again, to reiterate the importance of knowing your surroundings and equipment. The more you know, the better. “Knowing is half the battle.” G.I. Joe. After reviewing many YouTube videos, one of the repeating pieces of advice was to start slow and steady. Don’t be hero the first day. Gradually increase difficulty and skills. Part of the advice of starting slow was to work on circuits. Basically, make a square pattern. Left, forward, right, backward, and repeat. Then once comfortable with the square pattern, move onto a rotating pattern. Completing small tasks will help lead to bigger more exciting maneuvers. First Flight First Impressions Being that nerves were high, it was best to discipline myself to basic maneuvers. However, the Phantom 4 is actually easy to learn and fly. That said, I took the Phantom 4 to new heights! After completing and getting to know the Phantom 4, I was able to take the drone high enough to capture some fantastic footage of the surrounding area! The camera on the Phantom 4 by far one of the best you can get and is definitely better than the $150 quadcopters previously flown. The difference is literally night and day. Speaking of night and day, one of the most desired subjects to capture is a sunset. Lately, there’s been spectacular sunsets, which then became a mission to get some sweet footage. The Phantom 4 did not disappoint! Other notable features that pretty great (for first flights) are the auto take off and auto home. A simple button touch will raise the drone for a safe and easy take off. Likewise, the auto home will safely return the drone to the original take off spot. Obviously, the better the phone/tablet, the better the screen, the better the viewing experience. But the Galaxy S7 Edge really adds a clear and crisp view from the app. Truly amazing! Camera First Impressions I’m no camera buff, but I do know if something looks good or not. The Phantom 4’s camera is top notch. This is actually my first time working with gimbal technology and now I want all the things gimballed! The Phantom 4’s camera setup is smooth, crispy, and high quality. It supports 4k resolution to give the best video from an entry level consumer drone. What excites me the most about the camera the most are the creative possibilities to capture footage you normally couldn’t get. Ariel footage adds an element and flavor to videos giving viewers an enjoyable scenic experience. “Use drone footage to tell your story, “Casey Neistat, one of my favorite YouTubers explains how he uses drone footage for his vlogs. That perspective will help operators/creators focus on what makes great videos from drones. That’s how I plan to use my Phantom 4. It’s more than just capturing amazing footage. Battery Life The Phantom 4 comes with a battery and optimization that can last up to 28 minutes. During the time of flight the Phantom 4 seemed to last about 23 minutes, because of the setup process and installing the latest firmware. Actual flight time was about 20 minutes, which is much much more than any quadcopter used before. The best feature about the battery is how fast it charges up. It can be to full strength in less than an hour! The reason that’s awesome is because if you’re like myself at this time I only have one battery. If you want to fly more, it won’t take too too long to charge it back up and hit the skies again. Obviously the more batteries you’ve got, the more flight time. Simply pop in a new battery and start again. More than likely I’ll be getting another battery to be able to have more flight time. Think about it, two batteries just about equal to about an hour of flying! Final Thoughts Overall, I am really impressed and very happy with the Phantom 4. It seems like one of those products that has endless possibilities for creating awesome content and just plain having fun! The build quality is top notch, camera results look fantastic, and rather simple to operate. All those characteristics combine for a great experience. Yes, the price seems heavy, but you get what you pay for. If you are in the market for a new drone that will be easy to get going and give quality results, the Phantom 4 is the way to go! Amazon.com has been pushing out some nice deals lately as well, so be sure to grab one for a discounted price when it the price drops. There’s also bundles to take notice of that come with extra batteries, SD cards, and props. At some point you’re going to need those extras, so minds as well snag em while you’re at it. What’s your thoughts about the Phantom 4? Is it cracked up to what all the hype has made it out to be? I think so. Be sure to watch the video for some footage from the Phantom 4. This was provided with a discount in exchange for an honest review.

La caja del producto venía ya abierta, no se debido a aduana pero el producto esta en buena condición, pero eso me hace pensar que el producto es refurbished. El dron tiene una buena calidad de fotografía y la aplicación lo hace fácil de volar teniendo un poco de práctica. No lo recomiendo como regalo para un niño debido a la complejidad de los controles.

Fantastic piece of equipment! This was my first quadcopter and I was surprized at how easy it was to fly. The video & camera components function as expected providing beautiful shots. I would recommend that if you are considering a drone that you adhere to all local laws with respects to flight. If people ignore the laws we will all be grounded.

ich möchte Anfangs erst mal erwähnen das ich noch nie Modellflugzeuege, Drohnen oder Ähnliches in der Art geflogen bin. Will hier auch nicht alle Extras oder die Technik aufführen, die kann man sich eh besser bei YouTube ansehen. Die Phantom 4 ist selbst für Anfänger sehr einfach zu fliegen, es gibt auch extra eine Einstellung für Anfänger, die allerdings nur die Reichweite und Geschwindigkeit begrenzt. Es ist aber auch fast nicht möglich die Drohne abstürzen zu lassen, da sie wirklich immer eine sehr stabile Lage hat und einen zusätzlichen Kollisionsschutz. Der Sportmodus (72 km/h) ist dann doch eher etwas für fortgeschrittene Piloten, da der Kollisionsschutz bei der höhreren Geschwindigkeit zu spät reagiert und es zu Unfällen kommen könnte. Als Anfänger wollte ich mir erst eine günstigere Drohne kaufen um etwas Übung zu bekommen, bin aber jetzt echt froh mir gleich diese Phantom 4 erworben zu haben. Selbst meine Frau hat mittlerweile Spaß an dem Teil gefunden und fliegt es problemlos. Allerdings sollte mit dem "HomePoint" etwas aufgepasst werden, da das GPS eine Abweichung von 10m haben kann! Auf einer großen Wiese kein Problem, eher mehr im heimischen Garten oder am Waldrand. Die Videos und Fotos werden sehr gut, was bei bei günstigeren Drohnen sicher auch nicht der Fall ist. Allerdings muß für gute Aufnahmen auch das Licht stimmen. Beste Fotos und Videos entstehen im Sommer, wenn die Sonne hoch steht und wenig Schatten geworfen wird. Die Höhenbegrenzung war bei mir Softwaremäßig auf 120m eingestellt, habe sie jetzt auf 180m raufgesetzt, aber bin bis jetzt nur bis ca. 150m Höhe geflogen. Etwas Angst spielt auch eine Rolle, wenn ich den Quadkopter für immerhin 1200€ in Weite, oder auch Höhe kaum noch sehen kann... aber bisher hat die Phantom 4 mir nie Probleme mit dem Rückflug bereitet. Da ich den mitgelieferten Styroporbehälter etwas zu klein fand und zu instabil, habe ich mir noch einen vernünftigen Koffer B&W Outdoor.case für DJI Phantom 4 (Typ 61, Ready-To-Fly) - Das Original nachbestellt. Allerdings leben wir hier in Deutschland, bzw. in der EU wo es für fast alles Regelungen und Vorschriften gibt. Diese beinhalten zb. eine Drohnen- Haftpflichtversicherung, nur Sichtweitenflug, Flughöhenbegrenzung und Überflugrechte. Nicht zu vergessen ein "Antrags- und Erlaubnisverfahren für den Aufstieg von unbemannten Luftfahrtsystemen, gemäß § 20 Absatz 1 Nummer 7 Luftverkehrs-Ordnung (LuftVO) (NfL 1-786-16)“!! Damit auch alles seine Ordnung hier in Deutschland hat. Letzteres (kostenpflichtig) allerdings nur für Gewerbetreibende.... *Kopfschüttel Meine Phantom 4 wurde über Amazon aus England geliefert und hatte eine Lieferzeit von 3 Tagen.
