[@meckster28]

Starting at 58 seconds there is a Josh Bixler head in the window.

[@drivedevision4539]

+Mark Ellison get rid of peter and get josh scott back!!!

[@ulaB]

+brent v Josh Scott never left. He's just busy with other things. And without Peter we wouldn't have two thirds of the planes that were released lately...

[@thejardz4787]

Thanks so much for uploading this! I was so hyped about phantom 4 review

[@TheMoonKity]

Wow... This channel, and hobby have grown up so much. To me Flitetest just isnt the same though I miss the days when they were a small fan based youtube channel with chad kapper, josh scott, and david windestal. Don't get me wrong its still a great show, but nothing will ever beat those memories of dorky josh, and david joking around flying planes in there backyard. Good job FliteTest hope your living the dream, and thank you for your contribution to this hobby :)

[@briantorsell]

There were some nice shots in this episode. Thanks for sharing!

[@SeanDuffyProductions]

Nice to see Josh Scott again!

[@Ethan-is2py]

Absolutely amazing review.

[@jackjohnston3315]

Good to see Josh on again :D Top job on this video

[@myfrenchheaven8190]

And yet another fantastic video. You rock man!

[@stevensam1313]

Best video demonstrating the features... Thank you flight test for this

[@NicoMyers]

You should try tracking a (RC) plane with it!

[@mihailazar2487]

That would be soo cool

[@aidanmco]

They did that with the chroma drone!

[@FrostbiteUK]

Great Scott!!! Always good to see Josh Scott :-)

[@CaveyMoth]

+FrostbiteUK He's my favorite Flite Tester.

[@Hami10101]

Phantom 5: "Hey, while you were at work I went out and took a couple photos and videos, they're on your Facebook and have 50 likes BTW you're out of milk."

[@you_just]

Phantom 6: You're violating your curfew. Please remain indoors.

[@corneliusoswaldstoffer1455]

Wait... WHAT!!!???

[@junyangng]

I been waiting for this, flitetest reviews are the best!

[@noeysfastrc3291]

That was a great video guys, great test of the Phantom 4

[@adiovidiub]

Nice, very helpful and fun to watch! Great job guys! I'll actually change my phantom 3 with 4, mostly based on your video!

[@SeanOzz]

would love to see what you guys do comparing the autel X STAR Premium in comparison to the phantom 3 or 4 as well as the Yuneec Typoon H!!!!

[@gunsaccessories8853]

Very nice review! Thank you.

[@bruckmuench]

Great video, picking mine up on Friday...

[@aronisink1]

Awesome.. you guys rock.. One of the best vids out there for the phantom4...

[@ulaB]

As much as we sometimes mock DJI pilots, the technology is pretty impressive and perfect for their use scenario.

[@NikoMoraKamu]

+Balu they do their work very well , i flee the 3 pro series with wind burst up to 50kmh and it flies pretty decent

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

nicely done review!

[@keato82]

thanks a lot guys for the video, really did a great job and has really helped

[@utah133]

I recently got one. What amazes me is that if it's not too windy, this thing is like a tripod in the sky! Rock-solid static video shots, you can't tell them from stills unless a car drives by.

[@rayatlast]

Super cool video guys, thanks for sharing.

[@simmyqux]

Would like to see using the waypoint features and how well it does completely autonomous flight missions.

[@wesleyvanpeer1988]

Great video guys! Thinking of buying one this year it seems like a very smart and amazing device!

[@ThatHighViewNM]

+Infinite Growth I just purchased one a month ago and it was totally an amazing decision! This is a must have device! I have started filming videos and the quality is amazing!

[@wesleyvanpeer1988]

+ThatHighView I thought so! Subbed; -)

[@tom.gwilliam]

Best review yet!

[@DrDoinks]

Dude that was some DANK following with the four wheel vehicle

[@itzyaboybugz]

Tap fly so can record video or take pics etc while flying where u want to go safely similar too the two pilot mode on inspire one I'm guessing ?

[@amynicole8952]

Such a cool piece of equipment!

[@MIADrones]

Love the Active Tracking!

[@DuvalDashCams]

Just bought my p4 today! Super happy

[@meti9230]

I'm in a dilemma right now. Can you please help me? I'm about to go off to a holiday and I need a drone by next week. I live in the UK. Would you recommend buying: 1. second hand DJI phantom 4 (the basic version) from my cousin for 400 pounds? 2. A second hand phantom 4 Pro from my cousin for 750 pounds? 3. The new mavic mini FROM Currys pc world with 3 batteries for 460 pounds? I'm on a bit of a budget and I don't think number 2 is worth 750. Thanks alot in advance. Your advice would mean the world to me :)

[@australasiaplanespotting1329]

Hey flitetest, nice review! Can you guys review the Windrider 737 at some point, would be a cool one to see!

[@masonshopperly6892]

How do you change it to display the velocity in MPH or KMH rather than the default M/S? (@1:30)

[@BOKI797]

Alex ,Josh ,Scott Oh & Peter Great Driving ! The DJI Phantom 4 looks Really Nice a Great job on the Video also ! Dave B. Illinois

[@timbennett7211]

great video....I have a 3...4 is coming soon! i love it!

[@mazingerZ06]

Thank You Guys!

[@snoozinglion8596]

Great review! thanks for sharing ;)

[@danielclampitt5012]

Great video guys!!!

[@BastHoen]

Great test, tnx guys!

[@MrThuggery]

Great review Boys I'm getting one!

[@DuDuShitirt]

Great Review

[@johnkavouras2355]

Will you guys be doing a comparison of the DJI Phantom 4 and the Yuneec Typhoon H?

[@davidschmidt871]

You should to a test to see how well it will track the Kraken. And/Or do the Hunt for Red October thing where while it is tracking something like the Kraken, fly another Kraken between the camera and its target and see if you can get it to follow the wrong one.

[@XxDrac13xX]

The tap to fly is great for cinematic shots. It flies on it's own at the set speed and you're free to just control the gimbal

[@JCQuadcopters]

Great stuff lads

[@McGuire2778]

I think the go to mode is more like auto pilot than actual go to a specific place, so that you can have it flying on its own while you operate the camera. So you send it in a direction, and also an angle (ascending, descending, or level) and it will continue in that direction, at the speed you set, until you tell it to stop. So you can operate the camera while it is doing that. Very cool item though.

[@Redneck5]

I want to see a race, a Mini quad vs the atv ! Drag race style!

[@mr.inspector8251]

hehe

[@dittestknumeteen9297]

+Freek Roderik Get the DJI Phantom 4 now with a HUGE DISCOUNT: click.dji.com/M9gs8Vy_HO-V4260?pm=link You have to hurry though! Price will rise to 1799,- soon

[@omegasun4922]

+dittestk numeteen there was no discount. It was still $1399.00 idiot.

[@antdx316]

+dittestk numeteen no it's not going to rise above $1399 it's everywhere including best buy they are in competition w/ other products other companies releasing drones like this at $899

[@Lyrixnl]

+Teilo Smith They are spam bots.

[@stubey777]

can y'all test to see if the phantom 4 can track a 250 size quad? would be a great way to get some footage of racing quads. maybe test on a small circle track so the phantom doesn't have to chase very much, phantom would be in center of circle and just yaw to follow.

[@Emo666Cali]

you know for being late making a video about dji 4 you guys were great and the touch and go button is for guys like me who can run a train off the tracks at 10 mph haha!!

[@AlanBathurst]

excellent video thanks

Knows where you sleep! Great video guys.

[@AeroworksProductions]

Nice job guys.

[@alibekwo4679]

+Aeroworks Productions Indeed, this drone is great. I bought one from the DJI website which makes for a fast delivery and sharp prices :). You can buy one here click.dji.com/CiHhivJ5QbKyUnz2?pm=link

[@KendallSmithFPV]

The touch to fly could be used for someone who wants to dynamically capture the flight between two points but focus on using the gimbal controls.

[@anthonylombardi3903]

you guys should try and make a V-22 Osprey build!!!

[@ZezoG-jg1he]

My favorite channel on KZbin

[@martysk8r]

Thanks for a good video on the new DJI. I think I still want to build an H-quad out of some Home Depot towel rods like Bixler did way back when ;)

[@livingthedronelife4346]

Awesome, love my 4!

[@TomSpurlock]

How about doing some max distance test comparisons between Phantom 3 Pro and Phantom 4? With and without Windsurfer.

[@Cambridge792]

+Tom Spurlock about 100-200m more range on the P3 pro

[@Cult1022]

i have now a fair share of experience with drone flying. and after having owned the XuGong and seen it as a really capable cameradrone, i now think the Phantom 4 is finally ready to be bought and used.

[@rubywarrior1]

I would love one of these, perfect for wildlife tracking and video,, deer on the mountain all over.. this would be cool

[@incrypt_2220]

Hey guys. Nice review. I wanted to second the idea below from Nico Myers "You should try tracking a (RC) plane with it!". But I also wanted to add, would Mr. Fury be OK with having it follow his RV-8? Specifically, I'm wondering what the Phantom 4 will do when the object it's tracking goes above the horizon, and into open sky. I'm thinking RC Aircraft may be too small to effect a good test, and that a full size aircraft would give the best chance to see what happens. I've got my Phantom 3 Pro, and I love it - for what it is: "a Flying Camera which can be positioned anywhere" It's not for the "experience of flight" for that I've got my Hubson 107, and now my Apprentice E-15 set up with FPV. (I'm a staunch FPV'er). I don't see enough in the Phantom 4, though, to jump on that bandwagon. My brother, however, who just got a second hand Phantom 3 Advanced, is now thinking of dumping his advanced, and his Blade 350, in order to pick up a Phantom 4. After this review I can see why he's thinking that way. Keep up the good work. And let us know what Mr. Fury says. ;) InCrypt

[@bill1595]

love the baby on the stick in the window

[@carlostrachwitz2509]

amazing drone!

[@LincolnArmstrong]

damn phantom back at it again with the white drone

[@meybirdcreative6059]

nice work!

[@mobilcams]

Did you guys try to do active track with the forward sensors turned off? That brings up the speed of the Phantom..

[@dailyrc1172]

Sweet, that looks so nice

[@derpderpson4504]

6:00 why you would use that is for a pan shot well your solo so you can still fix miss framing with the cam.

[@kestrelflyer7637]

I think you should try to make a scale type flying castle. It should of course have an awesome drawbridge, and a rc dragon with a red mouth prop to fight.

[@karlahansen6802]

How about a FliteTest DIY version? A fixed wing that could follow when the target is moving and initiate an orbit around the target when stationary would be cool.

[@ryanp6639]

Do a test on the blade chroma.

[@wilianamaral]

For the ordinary customer, DJI finally have my respect. Kudos to them and the Flite Test crew

[@JosefFitzGeraldPatrick]

You should do a review of the XK Detect X380

[@MrBsyamaha]

I want to see a review on a quad for the first time flyer. I have bought a few Walmart quads that are just to unstable and the slightest wind makes them crash. If I was going to invest a $200 or $300 in a RTF model what do you recommend? Thank you love the channel.

[@OldLineAngling]

+fliteTest If he were to run through the treeline would it go over the trees and continue to track him or would it lose him?

[@IslandDigital]

DJIGO 4. Vs Litchi I love that you can map out an entire Mission ahead of tim on Litchi then go to the location and press play and it goes through entire mission perfectly. What are your Plus/minus for both apps? Your preference ??

[@alexanderday2576]

Alex some great vids IM in the UK, and I fly p3s,but gonna change to p4 and u have answerd most of my questions , I thank u for brilliant vid thanks very much.

[@brameldm]

Are you guys still planning to put together a build comparable to the DJI Inspire 1 like you mentioned back in January 2015?

[@slothFPV]

I'd like to see that

[@benstotesbury-byrne377]

I was waiting for this video

[@markscott2830]

Great video!!!

[@dergod2000]

Great review!! Would love to see if it can track objects other than humans, such as cars, animals or even other drones?!

[@onemangeeksqaud]

What ever happened to Josh's diy Inspire "beater"? I do have one, it's the dragonfly electrohub with the ardupilot control board and tarrot 2 axis gimbal. It will pick up a phantom 3 quite easily, and locks into a gps hover more solid than any phantom I've ever seen. Plus the tail tilt makes it much more agile.

[@ulaB]

+OneManGeekSquad Yes, but you are still missing a few features probably. HD downlink, three axis gimbal, ground camera for indoor stability, ... As far as I know they tried to come up with something that comes close to all the features, but you had to put so much money into it that it wasn't the "inexpensive beater" they hoped it to be anymore.

[@robsfpv3350]

What is your teams favorite goggles to use for FPV

[@doutorsaude_]

Aqui no Brasil ainda nem chegou o PH4. Uma droga morar no 3º mundo. Abraços!

[@icarus_1559]

what apple iPad device are you using and what generation? do you know by any chance if the iPad mini 4 is compatible ? thank you

[@fredanderson1753]

Great! Now I have to have one!

[@JonathanJScottFilms]

Hi there, can you tell me is the housing that the camera is in made out of metal like on the P3 or is it now plastic? Thanks

[@alexzvada705]

+Jonathan J Scott Films it is metal, and all the gray on the bottom side of the quad is also metal.

[@JonathanJScottFilms]

+Alex Zvada nice one. thanks for the reply

[@vbritt3990]

I wanna see the Phantom track a versacopter. What is the smallest thing it will track. Also if the target is moving up or down hill with it adjust it's own altitude? Can I have this thing follow me down hill skiing?

[@rickdeckard9810]

Great stuff thanks

[@NH-hg7us]

what is that thing behind the glass??

[@bullet10002]

will it track another drone? or sail plane?

[@hypoelmo8045]

thank you for this video

[@jackwitchalls1355]

Would it be able to track another aircraft? would a fixed wing chase be possible?

[@Kschalmo1]

any thoughts on how a gear vr would work for with this drone?

[@MartinRodgers2255]

Hi Alex & Josh, @10:12 you have the P4 active tracking Josh and you mention that even when he has sort of same colour scheme as the ground the P4 still tracks HIM. That is good but what if (again @10:12) he was to walk very close behind the guy filming it, would the tracking pick up him instead? Hope you get what I mean? :) cheers MR

[@ulaB]

+Martin Rodgers They had to try very hard to have it lose the tracking object. The same clothing (plus hat) and the same size was required IIRC.

[@robertbowman3406]

May I ask what tablet are you using and will the cord supplied fit the tablet?
