DJI Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian - BEST DRONE EVER

[@PineValleyDigital]

One of the best tutorial vids I've seen so far. DJI 1,2,3.4 owner since 2013

[@Zeppy007]

Justin just so you know because of you, I just purchased my 4th DJI Drone after only 6 weeks of flying I am truly sick! I have the Tello, Mavic Air fly more combo in white, Mavic Pro Platinum Fly more combo with DJI Goggles RE and the PH4 Pro Obsidian all with 4 batteries because I am obsessed Haha 🤪 I purchased the Mavic Pro Platinum after the PH4 Pro to get that perfect Ocusync wireless goggle experience which is truly amazing but also upgraded the PH4P controller with the HDMI module so I can use the iPad mini 4 with the RE Goggles at the same time like the Platinum... I am so hooked it’s ridiculous but thank God I have a very understanding wife! I absolutely love all your videos! Hmmm, maybe Inspire 2 next uh oh 🙈 Hehe

[@LegitPilot]

Here's another tip on something I do. Just like when starting an aircraft, either a rotor craft or fixed wing, distinctively yell "Clear." If you're mostly flying by yourself on a daily basis, it should be fine to avoid, however, if you ever find yourself taking off close to friends, or just curious onlookers on more than one occasion, it is a good habit to have. Anything can happen in an instant, and Drones have been known to occasionally go haywire, so it's better that you have some breathing room for errors. Just like with aircraft, the most dangerous parts of flight are taking off and landing. Plus, it also helps others who may be nearby see how safe some pilots are, and could help down the road in regards to their perspective on drones as a whole. That is one of the many things that the aviation training hammers into you, and it is even in some, if not most aircraft checklists as well.

[@AmazingKitchen]

Thanks for all the tips and instructions to flying the phantom. Great help!👍

[@alpineskies2111]

I like how he said calibrate at each new location, i saw tons of people say not to do that so i didnt for a long time and would get compass errors constantly!! Now ive been doing every flight and i get no errors at all!!!

[@juliusjones1154]

This is the best video ever posted to the KZbin on this subject

[@keepitfair9]

Thank you for such a great video, your teaching abilities and your willing to explain every detail made it so nice to follow. I got the Phantom 4 pro white, and yes it's the first drone I have ever flown. I've had it for about a week now, and been up once due to always working. I'm lucky enough to have a jo where I can follow videos like yours to lean much more before being in the air. I subscribed, liked, and followed to be sure I can learn as much as possible by you. Thank you and I hope to do well with this drone, it's been a desire of mine for a while.

[@MidniteClubII]

RIGHT ON JUSTIN! BEST video, thorough but simple. Thank You Justin!

[@atomicdynamo6062]

Excellent professional review! Thank you for not having annoying background music.

[@spaul-khanflowers2593]

you re awesome ,who disliked this video show me what you got, better than this ? I dont think so

[@anilrazdan2130]

Those who disliked, probably couldn't afford to have one !!

[@alanw2235]

LOL this is so funny talking about orientation... We learned this on our own the hard way back in 1980 when I started my RC career...of course drones were just dreams back then. It's just funny to see this now online for those who never picked up an transmitter of any kind. Good stuff man. It sure would of been a lot easier back in 1980 if we had videos like this LOL Take care. Very good video!... My very first RC project was an "Eaglet 50 kit" (which you had to build from a box of wood) with an .21 K&B glow engine and an 4 channel AM Futaba radio. Take note newbies and PAY ATTENTION!!. :)

[@dronecamps]

Thanks Alan. My first kit I build as a kid was a Gentle Lady. My first nitro was an Easy Bee with an .049 😊 Just bought an old one on EBay. I got a Carl Goldberg Eaglet before they stopped selling them. He’s the man! Classic stuff. Most of my tutorials are based on what the older plane guys taught me at the field. Just passing on that knowledge to the new guys. 👍🏻

[@timboambo1]

I've watched many vids to help me learn all about my 4Pro. I was shocked to learn recently that the all around obstacle avoidance works ONLY in beginner mode and tripod mode. for the rest of the time only the front and rear sensors are working....side and downward sensors are off! I have confirmation from DJI on this. How many owners know this little fact? Disappointing they aren't all active in P mode. Otherwise its a great Drone. Thanks for your video. Tim (Australia)

[@OLIVER-sz1zr]

i don’t know why people are disliking these videos even these giys can’t do better than they do...

[@jimwilliams5887]

I sub'ed yesterday to your channel. I was looking forward to watching this episode. This will be my 2nd time through. You have succeeded in putting in more "beginner level" info and exercises than anyone else I am sub'ed to. Thank You so much. I've been wondering what I should do to get acclimated to quad flight and you have much of what I never even thought of. Thank you again.

[@atlmacman]

Tremendously helpful video for me, who's never flown a drone before. Thank you very much!

[@BobSmith-mc7uq]

Excellent Video! Thinking about purchasing the Phantom Pro 4 for my first drone.

[@blitzkrieg7353]

first drone? not recommended one crash and you lost $1500 BUT its kinda weird a crash

[@DJDevine]

Nice job. It's so important that people start slow and steady, I flew toys for two years while the industry became what it is now! then I transitioned to an X220 FPV quadcopter and it was a natural and thrilling experience, everything was under control because I was ready for pretty much anything with a lot more power and that changes the game but you're ready for it...Cheers

[@scotthopkins7711]

Just brought the black version pro plus. Look forward to trying out your techniques great informative video.

[@IUSECAMERAS]

GREAT VIDEO!!!! what kinda of transitions are you using to do the "morphing" look between your drone footage? that's amazing!

[@Sameir8055]

Thank you so much...!! Just bought the device :)

[@seanthompson258]

amazing shots man thanks for all the v cool info much appreciated!!!

[@Drew18000]

Your videos are so awesome! I’m new to the drone hobby. I just orders 2 and I can’t wait to start flying! Keep up the good work 👍

[@ericstramecky3642]

GREAT job!!! Thank you for your insight, instruction and professionalism!

[@Secretmafia.]

Ordering this drone tonight can’t wait to use it

[@jasonbodenheimer4017]

Thank you, Justin. Found your video after I had already made the decision and purchased a P4P Obsidian. Flew it a few times and had trouble with the iPad 3 mini and garbled video. Found my old Nexus 7, connected it and now video is butter smooth. I also realized my Nexus 7 matched the Obsidian color scheme. Bonus! Where was your footage at the end of this tutorial? The waterways and shoreline are beautiful. Cheers, Buddy!

[@splashhs1]

Excellent video mate. Great info and instructions. I'll be picking one of these up soon. Cheers

[@splashhs1]

yeah mate. happy to do that

[@HusseinKefel]

Well done Justin, thanks for this fantastic video guide. Keep it up bro

[@alansavage9656]

Excellent video Justin!! Really like how you do the tutorials & love the footage

[@okarpf]

Crystal Clear training section!. Thanks Justin.

[@farmermacs8008]

Realy nice video.. I haven't bought the drone yet, but I'll use this video to get started with the practicing when I get one. Thanks :)

[@jonpetersdronemedia4142]

Many thanks Justin, very informative as per usual....Can you tell us what settings your using as the colours are very nice. Cheers.

[@peterhickey7151]

What filters do you use on your phantom 4 prosy for landscape shots in valleys and mountains at sunrise and sunset, plus over the ocean, great video on the Obsidian

[@fondoo]

thanks! great video review. i just got a dji phantom 4 pro for xmas. Merry Christmas

[@jeffreyross8855]

HEY.. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! Very cool training just got my first drone..an XK X300 This Pro Obsidian is what I am working twards thanks to this video of yours... Thanks again Jeff in NO. County San Diego!! BTW nice shots at the end here.. where is that .. East coast??

[@JamesLaws-Cinematographer]

What's up again man? Quick question. I just bought another Obsidian, that is phenomenal, but the batteries are not good. Fortunately, I have 4 extras, but to go on, if the charger shows yellow light (or God forbid, a red light) on the bottom of the charger, can they be saved, or should I just throw them away?

[@user96RR]

What an amazing review...I'm new to drones and this literally answered all of my questions and more.

[@johnnybickle13]

Wow , beautiful drone. Thanks for the in depth video on it. I need one !!

[@captainstablemdr113]

Justin, Great content and clear directions for the beginner like me. Question, do you recommend completing all the updates like firmware for the drone after the initial purchase. I see mixed guidance saying not to upgrade and things didn't work after the upgrades from DJI. Could you give your opinion who I consider to be an expert. also any thoughts on the new Autel drone coming out. Thanks in advance.

[@jonpetersdronemedia4142]

Hey Justin, such a great tutorial, many thanks. I have the inspire 1 pro but want to get the P4 pro for travelling. You probably have a video on it but what settings do you use and also what program for editing? Many thanks again. Subbed!!!

[@kacywheatley2239]

I am going to fly professionally. Which is the best drone to have for professional flying? Not sure the area of expertise yet so a drone that is versatile, but I do like the sensors for when I begin flying. Thank you for your help in advance.

[@ComputerTeckMaster16]

There needs to be a speaker where you can play music and stuff on the drone, that would be cool especially in areas where there are a lot of people. There's LED propellers i wanna see a speaker, never seen one on the market. I would love to play music or a siren or something to get peoples attention that would be cool, like if you agree speakers need to be on the drone with long range Bluetooth compatibility. I live in Florida and that's the jam down here its all about music especially in Miami. I just brought it cant wait to have it delivered.

[@StanCook]

Nice video Justin. I think one other con is that when on the ground on start up the lens on the camera points straight down and if on gravel or rough ground the lens could get scratched. I think it is time for DJI to change the design since every other company in the world has copied the Phantom look. Thanks again for all you do.

[@BraveTallGoddess]

Justine, our obsidian has no usb port on the RC controller. Is that normal since for upgrading firmware for Phantom 4 Pro there is supposed to be a USB port?

[@gitech7450]

That ending was sooo good! "Inspire, create, and teach others..." Profound af! :D

[@rodrigoaparicio6675]

Hi Justin, I respect a lot your opinion and I´m just about buy my first professional drone for filming(I´m a post´producer) witch one do you recommend me : Mavic Pro 2 or this beatifull obsidian pro? Thanks Men, great videos !

[@DroneManiac]

Just subbed and liked. Great job. Keep it up.

[@tyclark8162]

16Mar2019. Hey Justin, how are the Phantom 4pro+ operate when flown around Woodlands? As I live in heavy woods with a few open meadows. I was gunning for a Mavic2E but think this might be a better route where I live. Any thoughts or suggestions be appreciated n awesome. Ty

[@dronecamps]

Should do quite well. It’s a strong signal but remember if you fly off a distance and then come down low it could failsafe into return to home. But it should do just fine out there.

[@tyclark8162]

@@dronecamps Thanks for the reply, I'll hold ya to it then. 🤪 I am so tired of researching drones. Which one would most folks go with? The Phantom 4pro plus obsidian or the Mavic 2 pro smart controller, or the Enterprise dual? I am afraid I'll wish I had just gone with a Inspire 2 bundle as I always want the best of most things. I want to fly more than seating taking pictures n videos. Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions from whomever as well. Ty

[@dronecamps]

I have the P4 Obsidian. Its one of the most solid drones ever.

[@tyclark8162]

@@dronecamps Thanks I just might get that drone package. As it is very solid outfit.

[@thegman7523]

I got this 2 weeks ago. I really do like the color scheme of the obsidian

Wow. I thought this was just going to be a review, but it was a really great tutorial too.

[@tonyde6744]

Great video. Thank you for the flying tips for us beginners.

[@Robertdesterk]

can you advise me which drone should I buy ? I need the drone to fly as long as possible with an animal detection we have family business we Camel farm our camels are free in the desert when the water time comes we need to look for them and get them in the water point but they could walk for kilometers.

[@tedcharp]

Awesome job on this review Justin. I️ love the color of it. Thanks Justin

+tedcharp you’re welcome Ted!

[@zolaneger]

hi, I just unbox my ph4pro+ obs and and have a problem, cant connect remote with aircraft, I have update firmare but cant connect... should I link the remote? I heard that all phantoms are already linked in factory so I dond knot what to do...

[@brendanomara339]

Have you tested how well you see one vs the other when they are in flight? Love the shot of the drone close to the water with the sunset, and then bringing it up slowly!

[@dronecamps]

Thanks Brendan. I have both and see no difference in either. ~

[@victormarcano2097]

Exelent explanation 🤜🏻🤛🏼

[@racheltgal]

Excellent video very well done

[@SirBeauJangles]

Colour shift - to one that's maybe the very hardest to see in any conditions apart from maybe snow. If shifting colour I think should have given an option to a day-glo colour, maybe hot Lime or Orange. If something goes wrong and one of these charcoal birds goes down it's more or less a waste of time searching for it unless it's got a tracker fitted.

[@bubbawoods1203]

Great vid my dji phantom 4 is 3 feet away from me and its saying max distance reach do u got any tips its a brand new remote that i bought and now it keeps saying that help... thx

[@EdEditz]

Beautiful footage at the end there! Absolutely amazing! Does it has the same flickering as the Mavic has? I thought I could see some evidence of that in the footage here and there. You know, because on the Mavic each 8th frame is an I-frame with more noise in it, you get that flickering. Very annoying in the Mavic that I fly. I wondered if it's the same on the P4PO.

[@JamesLaws-Cinematographer]

I've been waiting to get the Obsidian for weeks now, and now that I have it, I can't get it to connect to the controller or show me the interface at all. If you know anyone that's purchased a used one, who has had this issue, I'd like to know how they got past it. Thanks in advance for your help.

[@jeffreyross8855]

Since many people say DJI has bad customer service.. what da ya think of Yuneec's 4K Typhoon bt comparison? Do you have a review of it?

[@ethang105]

The a mode stands for atti or attitude mode. This turns off the gps and only holds the altitude. Kind of what you said

[@rgatestac]

great advice on orienting to return.

[@djjefffernando7800]

Who is more prone to marks and scratches? Osbidian or white?

[@DavydB]

Justin, do you give drone giveaways?

[@Dr_K545]

Great review. Just bought 2 last night. Cant wait. First drone, looks like I got a good one...or two, lol. Really appreciate the newby tips. Huge help. Thank you. I ordered the 2 pro + with the screened remote. I kind of feel like I blew $600 on something that wasnt needed. Any input?

[@sosua_beach]

Up to 64 gb msd card? I use it with 128gb

[@michaelauknz]

Hi Justin, Great Stuff - My need is to fully understand battery management of the quad and controller -It is a very complex subject and I need to know HOW not to damage them - Plus how to charge correctly, using fully charge and store plus how long can you leave full charged batteries, when to run them down fully every few months and why and how many cycles before replacing them..etc The batteries are costly and screwing them is very easier to do..

[@1EagleDave]

Thank you for such a great video

[@dronecamps]

Yw!

[@Rash1490]

What about p4+? Do you think the screen is worth it? Does it have any problems so far?

[@michaeldande]

sometimes u are getting low on battery n u dont have time to spin the drone to check the orientation to pull it back , as to me i avoid that method, the best way is , on the screen there is a small red arrow that shows the direction u have flown, all u do is just spin it n make sure the arrow points home n u will come home safe

[@dronecamps]

+Michael Dande I do that also. But in the case you loose phone connection. Purely manual return

[@wadesharp11]

Great video bro i want one now! All the others ive seen are wobbly. Cheers

[@MrTommyboy11]

Is there a performance as to which phone to use giving best performance? Thanks, Tom

[@MrBilbobagins]

[@SurfingwithBen]

Did you shoot 4K and crop in on the last shot with the sunset/sunrise?

[@garylazo9394]

Nice review may I justest a strobe at your location to help orientation to return drone .just a an idea even though I never flew one

[@BraveTallGoddess]

Throw some Anti collision lights on and you will know what direction you are in. Green is right, red-left and there is a spotlight in front

[@rodakaskas]

What do you do when someone calls your phone while you are flying?

[@kodyblazer5802]

Is it possible to put a GoPro gimbal on a phantom 3 standard?

[@heatseeker7]

Great video! I thought the A mode was for Attitude mode, you stated that it stood for Altitude hold mode. Are you saying that the P4P is not subject to altitude changes when in A mode? I know it’s definitely subject to horizontal wind shifts in A mode.

[@dronecamps]

Same yes. ATTI Mode

[@efijydesigns-webdesignsipu4904]

Hello. I love what you do and the professionalism you inspire. I want to buy the P4 Pro. At first, I knew what I wanted, but after the obsidian version was launched, my face fell off. I really love it. Although I have a slight doubt regarding the overheating issues because of the colour. This colour would suit me better because I want to purchase a CrystalSky display also. Do you think the dark colour would be an important issue regarding the overheating potential? Thanks.

[@dronecamps]

If you fly in a hot region I might buy the white version. ~

[@efijydesigns-webdesignsipu4904]

This summer we had some days with 95, but generally it's not like the desert. What could happen if it overheats?

[@rickydrone9274]

Great videos Justin and also great pointers. Are the videos from the Chesapeake Bay area? I purchased a Mavic Pro about a month ago and have yet to fly it. But, I also purchased an inexpensive quad, an Aeosenma CG035. I have been honing my flying skills with the execises you have shown for some time now in VLOS. This quad has really decent GPS and altitude hold. I also have an inexpensive action cam attached , so I can review my flights and see what I was doing from the quad perspective. So, as you stated, when I do begin to fly the Mavic, it should be much easier for me and I should know what to do in a hairy situation. I am a senior and figured this approach would be the best for me having grown up in an era when none of the modern technology was available at all. What my situation has taught me is to be very patient and especially acclimate to the sensitivity of the sticks. Also, the more you practice, the lower your "freak outs" become.....lol. My ultimate goal is to save up and add one of the Phantom 4's to my line up. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming.

[@dronecamps]

+Open Eyes And Ears this is the kind of post I love to read. Honest and sincere. Hope you get one of these sometime. Take your time. 👍🏻

Hey man great videos, I just subscribed! I’ve been interested in drones for a while now but can’t quite afford one. I was wondering if you might have a beat up beginner type drone that you’d be generous enough to part with? I could buy it from you for a decent price if you’d consider! Keep the videos coming I love em
