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
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 DJI Phantom 4 is the most complete aerial imaging solution out there at the moment. It features an impressive 4K camera that has plenty of options and, most importantly, delivers excellent image quality. Video and stills footage can be tailored to you...

Abstract: Drone flying is great fun. The downside is that it's all too easy to slam your expensive hardware into a wall. That's why DJI's new Phantom 4 is self-autonomous, with a 3D-sensing camera that can avoid obstacles and other smart features, is a godsend. Thi...

High, quality stabilised footage, Object avoidance, Easy to fly
Phantom 3 batteries not compatible, Constant software updates, App can get a bit confusing
The Phantom 4 is a refinement of the Phantom 3 Professional. There are tweaks to the camera's performance, but the major upgrades are the robust design, improved materials, and clever flight aids using new sensors. This makes the Phantom 4 a worthwhile up...
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
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, so you can't collap
Yep, it's not cheap, but DJI has made one of the smartest drones available with the Phantom 4...
The Phantom 4 is unquestionably DJI's best drone yet. It shoots decent quality 4K video and is easier to control than ever before. Batteries are very expensive, though, and the intelligent modes still don't quite match those you'll get with a 3DR Solo whi...

The DJI Phantom 4 is not quite a drone for the non-enthusiast, then, but it's closer than ever before to that ideal, and it's the safety features – the collision-detection and tracking features, not to mention the safety net of the automatic fly-me-home f...

Excellent quality footage; intuitive app and controls; sleek and polished design
Only shipped with one battery; propellers obscure footage at high speeds; object tracking isn't always accurate
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
Low light still a challenge, Lack of model choice
Without actually being able to fly it out in the open, we're not ready to pass judgment on the Phantom 4 just yet, but from what we've seen it's shaping up to be a worthy replacement for the Phantom 3. The tweaked looks, faster top speed and improved cam...
If you want a drone that's easy to use with great video and still performance, look no further. But if you don't have $2000 to sink into the hobby and make it worth your while, think again...
In the end, I really, really, really loved flying the Phantom 4! One of the easiest parts was installing the propellers — easy turn and lock. If you find yourself getting frustrated when filming or flying the Phantom 4, remember that it takes people many...
