When you turn up at a job you want your kit to be ready in as short a time as possible
And the Phantom 4 fits this brief perfectly
Simply click on the props
Fit the battery and power up
And within a minute or two
GPS connection permitting
You're rea
The DJI Phantom 4 is a very polished drone compared to its competition
And for those who've flown a quad before
You'll have no trouble getting started with this one. The new Sport mode lets you get to your location faster or just have some fun. Its Obst
High
Quality stabilised footage
Object avoidance
Easy to fly
Obstacle detection and automatic modes means it practically flies itself
Still the easiest drone to use
Even in Sport mode
Fantastic camera and an even better gimbal
Excellent quality footage
Intuitive app and controls
Sleek and polished design
The editors didn't like
Yet another change in the design of the battery means anyone upgrading will need to buy a whole set of new batteries
And they're not cheap. The video quality at 120fps isn't great compared with the excellent quality that can be captured at all other reso
The Obstacle Sensing System only sees things in front of the drone. You still need a tablet or phone ready to go along with the controller and drone battery. Extra batteries are expensive. Landing gear and camera are fixed to the body

As this is the first drone that we've tested in our lab we've little to compare it with directly, even though 1/2.3” inch sensors are still being adopted by compact cameras (albeit with less enticing video capabilities). Of course, drone photographers are...
Drone Review: DJI Phantom 4, JUNE 27, 2016, By Greg Scoblete, Decades of science fiction have conditioned us to view robots warily. For every helpful R2D2, there's a menacing T1 or HAL looming in humanity's future. DJI's new flying camera/robot, the Phant
Drone Review: DJI Phantom 4
DJI worked closely with Apple on the launch of the P4, giving the electronics juggernaut an exclusive hand at distributing the quadcopter during the opening weeks of its availability. We couldn't help but think of Apple when using the P4. Just as Apple ha...
Integrated gimbal and camera for smooth, consistent footage, Active track mode makes moving and action shots much more feasible, Sport mode allows you to get places faster and is a lot of fun, Included carrying case
Form factor is basically unchanged from earlier models
Placing the Phantom 3 side by side with the Phantom 4 helped me to immediately realize how big of a departure the new design is from the previous versions. The Phantom 3 is basically just a regular Phantom pushed to the limit with a modular camera system...

Abstract: If you're in the market for a prosumer-level camera drone, DJI has set itself out ahead of the pack again with the new Phantom 4. It's faster, smarter and safer than the Phantom 3 Professional , 3DR Solo or Yuneec Q500, and features some nifty practical t...

New obstacle avoidance system, new autonomous flight modes, snapon propellers, takes great video and photos, 28 minutes of flight time
Obstacle avoidance system is frontfacing only and only works in welllit situations, ActiveTrack feature loses subject in crowds, behind objects, or in sun's glare or reflection
Based on all of the upgrades introduced in the Phantom 4, along with the hours of flight time I've already racked up testing it in all kinds of conditions, I can highly recommend it for all sorts of skill levels, from beginner to expert. If you're in the...

Superb flight time, Great controls and ease-of-use, Assortment of intelligent flight features, Great flight safety mechanisms, Well built, Excellent 4K video and photo camera
Still no controller display screen, needs external display, Expensive, Camera and gimbal can't be removed so no camera upgrade or change
Overall, we love the Phantom 4. It has a few minor flaws but otherwise it's a superb and very versatile drone which comes loaded with flight and recording features we like. If you can afford the meaty price tag, this is one excellent piece of consumer UA...

Longer battery life, Faster flight, Excellent image quality, App is straightforward and easy to use
Collision avoidance is not foolproof, Some modes disable collision avoidance, Flight modes are confusing, Occasionally catches sight of itself in video, Expensive
There's a lot to like in the Phantom 4. It shoots very-high-quality video that looks significantly sharper than what you get from the Phantom 3 and as good as the video from a 3DR Solo using a GoPro 4. The Phantom 4 is very easy to fly, even for novice us...
