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

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.

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.

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.

Pre-ordered through the Apple Store and received on March 14th, actually a day before you could buy in store. My company gets a discount through Apple as a partner, and I was able to get a discount there on this as well. I also own a Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K, so this is my second quad. Here is what I can say about this incredible machine: 1. Build quality is amazing. The weight is substantial, it is a solid machine. Compared to my Q500, this thing is built like a tank and makes the Q500 feel flimsy and toy-like (and I love my Q500). Although smaller than the Q500 this gives me the feeling of I got what I paid for, hands down. 2. The included styrofoam box is pretty amazing. My Q500's inner is styrofoam as well, but falls apart and leaves flakes of styrofoam on the machine. This is coated with something that makes it hard so it does not flake apart. The latch that locks is solid. Opening the box, it is amazing how compact the package is inside this small case. Compartments for storing two batteries (though one is included), and technically you could hold 3 with 2 in the case slots, and one in the quad. Batteries store on the left side. On the right side compartment for the charger, cables, and the nylon bag of two sets of rotors. The rear is a snug compartment for the controller, and it does fit in snugly. The front slot has the documentation. A very nice free case, compact, solid, and not bad for people that just want to pack the quad from location to location and do not require a more expensive plastic case. More than meets my needs. 3. It took well over and hour for me to unpack this, setup the controller and settings (based on a lot of reviews I read on YouTube), updating the software on both the quad, and the controller (a nice thing is there is an included cable that links your iPad, or Phone to the quad to update, where the Q500 requires you to pull out a cable in the battery compartment, and connect to a computer). You probably could fly this with everything set to the defaults, but you would not be fully utilizing the software. 4. The DJI Go app is complicated. I am using with an iPhone 6+. In comparison to the Q500 settings, the Phantom 4 is way more of a professional device, with far more settings and options to go through. Whereas the Q500, you could literally take out of the box and get flying in about 15 minutes, with this machine you will certainly want to know what all of the settings and controls do before you simply get in the air. My fear was not knowing what everything did in case something went wrong and I had to assume total control in a bad situation. Automation is good, but you need to know how to operate this machine with all those automated functions turned off. 5. The camera- I am on the fence about in comparison to the Q500. I know it is basically the same camera as in the Phantom 3 Professional, with some minor improvements, and I am still tweaking with the camera settings, but I still think the quality of the Q500 4K is slightly better with respect to sharpness and detail. Perhaps when I fully get the settings manually adjusted I will change that statement, but out of the box compared to my Q500 out of the box, the Q500 is a bit clearer. There are way more gimbal settings and adjustments on the Phantom 4, which I like. I did find that the Phantom 4 does not record sound from the camera at all (I did not know that). The Q500 4K does record sound. It probably makes no difference in the end, but I find that the sound of flight in my Q500 videos adds something extra. Lastly on the camera, I will certainly be investing is a nice set of ND filters in the future so I can slow down the shutter speed and get a more cinematic look to the video. The rule of thumb is that your shutter speed should be twice the frame rate- and to get proper exposure with those manual settings you will need filters to achieve that. Most people will shoot video for fun, so it likely would not matter if you were to keep the settings to auto. Unlike things I have read about the stock UV filter on the camera, mine unscrewed with ease. I have also read that Phantom 3 Professional filters fit the Phantom 4. The included filter installed I have read is already a UV filter. The plastic gimbal / camera guard is nice, one piece that just snaps on for storage and covers the camera lens. I ditched the included 16GB MicroSD card from the start for a 64GB card, and have no issues with a budget priced card that met the published specs. You don't need a super high end card to record on this machine. Save your money for a second battery. 6. The controller is amazing. It charged fast, and the balance in my hands with the iPhone 6+ is perfect to the point that I feel that I do not need a neck strap for it. Perhaps with something heavy attached like a full sized iPad I could see my arms getting tired holding after a while. Love the tilt of the holder for the phone, and the way this folds up for storage. Tried out the "Return to Home" button a few times, and quad came to land itself literally within inches of where it took off. My Q500 sometimes will get within 10 feet of the home point when doing the same. The Q500 has the screen built in, but honestly, it can't keep up to the resolution of my attached phone on the Phantom, and there is no lag in transmission like my Q500 has. I flew this machine out as far as I could see it, way farther than my Q500 can go, and there was no lag in either control, and no loss of video signal. 7. The speed of the Phantom is incredible. I did not even try the Sport mode yet. Reaction time from the controller is almost instant, far faster in response time compared to my Q500, even when at a distance. Descent speed seemed about on par with the Q500 when coming down to land from altitude. The Q500 seems more stable to land as I think the stance of the legs are wider. At first I kept thinking the Phantom would tip over- it never did. The Q500 does not auto-take off and land with a button command, only in the Return to Home mode will it auto-land. The automated functions of the Phantom are the selling point. The only one I had time to try out was the Active Track, where the quad will follow and film a subject that is selected within the app. Probably my favorite feature. To get the Q500 to do something like that you need to have the subject holding the controller, or the Wizard so it knows what to lock onto. The Phantom 4 does this through the visual aids and the software, very cool. The other flight modes look amazing too, but I want to read up on how to properly use them before I try them out as I would hate to crash this as it is expensive. The last feature that also worked amazing was the obstacle avoidance. Even flying this at night in a dimly lit parking lot, there was enough light that the Phantom would see a light pole and just stop and hover when it realized it could not go around it or over it. Will have to play around with that feature more to fully trust it, but it is great to have. The Q500 has nothing like it. 8. The battery- wish it came with 2 like my Q500 did, they are much more expensive. I have had a second one on order from DJI since I ordered the Phantom and still have not received it. I have seen the battery last about 23 minutes- but I am flying in 39 degree weather, so I can see how I could not get the published 28 minutes run time. The included charger can charge both the battery and the controller at the same time. 9. Quick release props- amazing, the ones with the black circles go on the rotors with the black dots, the silver circle ones go on the rotors with no black dots, push down and a quarter turn and on and off, not unlike a child-proof pill bottle, same concept. Unlike the Q500 that rotate on and just seem to tighten until you feel like they are on tight enough (you are really never sure), these lock, no questions asked. Amazing. There are 2 sets included like the Q500. To sum it up I would have to say that this is an amazing piece of hardware that you could spend hours learning to fully use, or not based on how you plan to use it. For a professional photographer, there are simply some amazing things you can do with this that are very difficult to pull off with a quad that is less automated. This machine will do the things I have learned to do over time manually, and pull it off with ease and polish given you understand the setup and limits of the hardware. The quality, the features, an easy sell for this price range. If I had anything negative to say about it- it would be that it seems like there are just a ton of updates every time I go to power this thing on, and it appears that it will not fly until everything is updated and checks out- I get that for safety sake, but my Q500 rarely has an update, and never seems to prevent me from starting the machine up if I did not update. In my opinion, in this price range and feature set, this is THE machine to buy, and sets the standard- not perfect, but really really really good. * 3/21/2016 Update- taking back to Apple Store to exchange for another. No matter what camera settings I use on this pictures and video are blurry except for one quarter sized area of the frame. DJI suggests exchange as could be lens issue. I've read of similar issues on the Phantom 3, some were camera related, some the lens, some the firmware. Out of the box and with auto settings shouldn't produce something that looks like it came out of a 1999 cell phone. Hopefully the replacement is a better example- understanding these are early production builds.

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.
