Hands-On with DJI's Phantom 4 Quadcopter Drone!

[@tested]

Here's our final review of the Phantom 4, after a month of testing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZe2Y2N4fJZmd9k

[@YouriIsEenBanaan]

I love how informative this video is! "Battery life is 28 minutes which is almost half an hour"

[@YoungBlaze]

ehhh i'll wait till the Phantom 5 come out

[@darkdancerman]

ikr

[@bobbyreview3413]

+YoungBlaze Of Chitown and Phantom 6 too

[@myk6694]

same here, though I'm happy enough with my P3adv.

[@YoungBlaze]

+hans banaan no he doesnt want it

[@califpv]

+myk same here man. This is like the S serious of iPhones. Not I mind-blowing upgrade. I'm very satisfied with my P3 advanced

[@VineHeaven]

Norm is great at leading an interview

[@kyleyankanich3726]

+baitboy3191 Wait, are you doing the thing where you say the opposite of reality?

[@teemohnay]

fuck. I just spent almost $2000 on a p3pro with lots of accessories. same thing happened when I bought a pv2+v3

[@dmdphotography8417]

+Tyler Lyssy Not a bad thing to be honest... I did the same thing as you on purpose because the sale is awesome and the P4 is not all that much better.

[@247.mp4]

that's normal in the drone business. you can buy the p4 and in less then 4-5months there will be a new and better one released. I mean, the release of the P3 is not more then 10months ago... this drone are coming out faster then smartphones

[@hubertosborne5886]

+Tyler Lyssy dw man i did the same thing but yes the p4 has got longer battery life and a tracking system but the p3 pro basically does everything else . for the p3pro: 1. get numerous batteries( i have got three and thats more than enough(bout 1hr and 10 mins) 2.i dont see any need for the p4 to have a more stable gimbal, the one on my p3pro works so well. and plus give it a year and dji will probs add the tracking thing as a firmware update for the p3 series. im just relived they didnt put a better camera on it, thats the only thing that would have pissed me off

[@PeresD]

+Tyler Lyssy you got company. Though do you want a drone that is completely autonomous like this,no skill involved ?

[@mikeymikehanna]

+Tyler Lyssy me too, this suckes, if every year they are gonna bring a new model, nobody will buy them, the price is high, and u get a new model in 10 months, whats the point? i got a phantom 3 pro only two months ago, for 1300 $ with extra stuff, and now they release the 4 ? bummer

[@troycambo]

Holy shit dude. The future is here. I can't believe this tech is available for the public during my lifetime. Haha.

[@handheroes1303]

Hey guys, thanks for the video. So you know, I just purchased a phantom 4 as my first drone. I am a film maker and am making a documentary from san diego to miami for 4 months. I bought this drone for SO many reasons, but mostly for all of it's automation. The reason I never bought a drone is because I knew I would crash it. Even though it isn't fully going to keep me from that, I am excited to use all of the automated flight paths so I can closely control the camera for my shots. This thing looks perfect. I will also be filming with the DJI Osmo, Sony RX100m4, GoProHero4, Nikon D800 and Nikon D4 ... and I am sure a few iPhone shots will make it in the mix as well. Can't wait to get my droneydrone!

[@JTTiglaoHD]

I recently got a DJI Phantom 4, and holy cow is it fun to play with, take awesome scenery videos with, and fly around in some places where you wouldn't usually be. Using this with family is fun! I went to the park with my uncle and we had a blast. Nice review!

[@aaronrajala4271]

Im going to buy this phantom 4 drone

[@IkoptaUk]

Go for it, they have some amazing deals at DJI at the moment. Brought this one, and it was great click.dji.com/Mhw3cB2-CC-Ecp-b?pm=link&as=0001 Just make sure you get extra batteries

[@sherlock72]

Waiting for the first P4 crash videos on YT!

[@Olivier-C]

At 9:30, how come it lost track of a single guy, on a clean football field ??

[@wyldslanerail]

+Olivier C Cause no technology is infallible :)

[@portumaan]

+Mark Smallman Then don't make your users the beta testers for 1.5k$

[@wyldslanerail]

+Portuman My point is nothing works 100% flawlessly although I don't think it is deal breaker in this case :) They did say later it had some difficulty holding a lock on people in varying light conditions,maybe that was what happened there? I won't be buying one regardless.

[@SuckMyGreasyPrick]

+Olivier C Because the technology clearly isn't ready. It's just a gimmick that you will use like once or twice, and to show off to your mates. Apart from that, I don't see it being used that much.

[@KifaruOverland]

+Olivier C solution to this is to have wearable tracking sensor until further improvement are deployed.

[@MakeSushi1]

I would like one of these

[@3DPeter]

+klaas hansen Hoezo "flinke korting"? Dat is slechts 100 euro, en bij Toemen in den Bosch kost hij "gewoon" 1599,- dus 200 euro echte korting.

[@raphtjoeb5750]

+klaas hansen stop spammen gast

[@santiquiles13]

this is perfect for casey neistat

[@dougmpage]

+Santi Quiles I was thinking the same thing but I think he kinda likes crashing the cheap one for the vlog lol

[@Ybw200owns]

+Santi Quiles no, he needs to build his own

[@skotner]

+Santi Quiles Casey WANTS to crash his drones and does it on purpose... Destroying things is his trademark.

[@santiquiles13]

but not only for the crashing but for the following you

[@Fred.DonYT1]

Lol thought the same

[@snorrebusch5020]

Wow! I have been a Rc airplane pilot since I was a little boy. I've wanted one of these drones since I first saw them. But now I can se my self flying one of theses. The Phantome 4 looks awesome!

[@ucheucheuche]

Last year DJI released 3 versions. Do you think they'll do the same this year?

[@thewhitepanda60]

Nope.

[@DrooEdwards]

They are only releasing one version of the phantom 4 instead of the three versions of phantom 3.

[@akik705]

+Drew E phantom 3 actually have 4 versions. standard advanced 4k and pro

[@DrooEdwards]

+Aki K the 4K drone was the professional. They only had the standard which shot 720p, advanced which shot 1080p, and professional that shot at 4K.

[@akik705]

Drew E Nope. 4 versions. I have phantom 3 4K but its not pro version. Only lacks live feed quality from pro and range. :)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Great first review! I own the Phantom 3 and really like the new features of the Phantom 4. However, I would guess that after one typical crash one or more of those sensors will be fried (too much to go wrong). Also the new identification follow me mode is limited in it's uses (most be only 1 moving object in view & correct lighting). Other problem is flight time. Certainly in Normal mode with reduced speed one would get 28 mins, but in Sport mode I'm guessing 8 mins less. I like the obstacal avoidance BUT I like to fly between objects and I would think I'd have to turn it off to accomplish this smoothly. In your next video can you also compare the P4 designed gimbal to that of the P3 for range of movement and smoothness of video. Thanks.

[@sheepcute]

In my opinion, it's an unfinished/rushed through product. Obstacle avoidance should be 360 degrees. Heck, even the design looks unfinished. Needed more work. Maybe they'll get it right next year...

[@введитебросок]

it is the windows vista in-between Windows XP and 7

[@OpTicBossaru]

+введите бросок Except XP and 7 were good

[@Vylkeer]

+sheepcute In fact I'm waiting for the Phantom 5 to come out! 4K@60p, more battery life, better AI, longer distances from remote and 360-degree sensors are the main reasons why I'll still be waiting.

[@SD70E]

+sheepcute I agree with you about the 360 degree avoidance.

[@hotchi1566]

+sheepcute I think >80% of the obstacles are in the forward direction in practical scenarios. Of course, 360 degrees will be better. The 360 degrees may be a build-in function of Inspire 2 most probably.

[@catlinfoster1683]

You can noticeably see the progress Norm has made in his ability to interview and talk on camera.

[@njsullyalex2744]

I'm good for now with my Phantom 1. No seriously, I still fly a P1 as my primary AP quad.

[@agbhargihad7325]

what does it do with multiple people on the field? or in a crowd?

[@tcroft]

Well two things either goes mental or works, the fix this you could use the follow me with the controller so it never loses it

[@IMRROcom]

premature like a wet dream. You beet the official announcement by almost an hour.

[@_MJ07_]

+IMRROcom Gizmodo have made the announcement too!

[@cgiveans357]

Not sure that they "beet" anything. Don't think a vegetable is a verb in normal context.

[@IMRROcom]

beet is an autocorrect from the phone

[@cgiveans357]

I know, just being a dick.

[@njgagen]

the new features look great. I look forwarding in seeing your testing videos!

[@tcroft]

Phantom 4 comes out, phantom 3 goes cheap, everyone buys the phantom 3, evaluation baby!!

[@irclevor]

+TomC Same thing happened with the P2 when the 3 was released. I've had my P1 for 2 years not and its dirt cheap these days, the GoPro Hero 3 it uses is the most expensive part. When I bought it all it was the cheapest bit!

[@garr123]

As a Giant Bomb fan it's wonderful seeing Will and Norm being all professional considering some of the stuff I've seen them do during live shows. Up and down the shaft, Norm.

[@jaywest4102]

You guys need to get in touch with Casey Neistat and teach him to use his phantom.

[@TylerSL92]

+jay west He really does suck at flying drones haha

[@samsungdslrreview5580]

Casey is really bad idea ,because he can't control the drone he is breaking he's stuff all the time ,he broke all cameras he hawe the drone crashed more than it should .

[@adilezy]

+jay west Its not even that he sucks, he got the drone for free. He really doesn't care about what happens to it, he just doesn't give a shit.

[@dumpertboy1322]

+Adil Jifri (TheDillDeal) Be fast and order the DJI Phantom 4 RIGHT NOW WITH HUGE DISCOUNTS: click.dji.com/M9gs8Vy_HO-V4260 Price will rise after the limited offer is over, so hurry!

[@AndreasK6rgend]

+jay west ikr.... but make him pay for it or earn it... or else hes gonna treat it without much concern like rest of the stuff he gets for free

[@Vylkeer]

Awesome news. My concerns are wether the automatic obstacle dodging feature is enabled while manually flying it or it is only when it is tracking a subject or automatically returning home. It would be cool if it was an always-on feature to help you out wether you lose controls, the wind is too strong or for whatever reason it's about to crash into something. Like if you're accidentally flying it toward a tree it should automatically brake and hover in front of it until you take control again. With that being said, these are some amazing new advancements for the Phantom. Just hope that the 400-feet software altitude limitation can be removed when using it outside the US.

[@markybyeah]

Awaits to see cracking issues before I purchase anything else from DJI.

[@markybyeah]

Sven Malefist 100% correct. Guaranteed to have some issues or faults.

[@iluvbloxorz]

I like how they don't lie and that they tell the truth about the Drone

[@Igrium]

I think the next step should be to make it waterproof so that you can film yourself surfing.

[@talltvreporter3040]

I think the next step is to make it stupeds proof

+angel Calderón the irony.

[@Ang3lik4Sway]

[@JoshWithrow]

WOW!!! To say I enjoyed this is an understatement.

[@KallMeKG]

+Tested yeah their (DJI) countdown clock is so far behind. lol Beat them by a MILE! Thanks for the awesome video!

[@ThiagoStruys]

Love this. Never wait on the official announcement =)

[@2Cerealbox]

The following feature seemed amazing, until I saw how easily it lost track of you in an open field with absolutely nothing in it while you were still in the frame.

[@tcroft]

Obviously it would work better at higher altitudes because the camera doesn't have to move as much but the person would be smaller therefore harder to track but still pretty good if your walking slowly

[@lencorp]

what I would love to see is it tracking one person running, then have someone else run into the shot then run in between the subject and the drone and see how it handles it

[@ez1ollie]

I just came here after watching Casey Neistat test out the DJI Phantom 4. This looks like a really cool product, I'd love to rent it for a weekend.

[@Jason-ty6ds]

rent it? cmon

[@ez1ollie]

+IsJasonJay why not rent it? If I like the drone enough then I'd buy it. If I end up thinking it's something I won't use too often then I won't buy it.

[@dhendrinm]

Love my Phantom 3 Pro. This P4 is not even close to having enough upgrades to make me want to sell all my P3P stuff to buy the P4. I will be waiting until the P5 comes out, March 2017. Cheers, and happy flying!!

[@Michael_00001]

My P3 has a pause button. It's called let go of the sticks.

You can see props on 4:54 when DJI said the motors were placed higher so it was impossible to ruin shots because of visible propellers LOL

[@Trollypolly975]

What is up with the huge discounts in the comments... Seem like bots

[@Voodoo8648]

The Phantom 6 is already designed and ready for market. Companies slowly release "newer watered down versions" to guarantee future profits. I can guarantee that a DJI Phantom with sensors ALL AROUND that can avoid all obstacles in all directions is designed and planned and simply not released for many generations.

[@tom-andrethomsen]

Intel and Nvidia have also famously been known to practice this company model :( So us, the consumers, are really always waiting for new emerging companies or other "rebel" companies to release something so revolutionary that the big giant companies are forced to come out with serious upgrades on their new releases. A good example of this is how BlackMagicTechnologies (makers of the RED cameras) recently launched a full featured NLE (aka. video editing program) for FREE, with their Davinci Resolve 12.5. This will force the giant NLE companies like Adobe, Apple, Sony, and Avid to really step up their game too give the consumers reasons to still choose their paid software. Or they can also roll out their current products for free, but somehow I doubt they will :P Viva la revolución! :D

[@christopherpaul9131]

DJI is trying to hop on apples bandwagon and release new products every 6 months...... Seriously, Stop it. Sincerely everyone who has spent 1k+ on a dji product.

[@введитебросок]

its not like it makes the one you have worse

[@sjladopoulos]

I am a happy owner of a Phantom 3 Pro, and I will only upgrade when I see weather resistance added. Obstacle stuff is nice, although I fly mine backwards facing me all the time, so need those cameras on the rear too. 4K/60p is a must, 1080/120p is very handy for slo-mo, as long as the image quality isn't too mushy. DJI, please make a Phantom 5 with 4K/60p and able to fly in the rain/snow/-20C and you have my money!

[@hendrycaven]

Mine too ! 😆

[@tcroft]

In ten years when we all say 4K is for cheats and we all use 30k mental

[@ICEMAN_GLX]

to many training wheels. lol

[@toddspeck9415]

I am so stoked to own one of these drones. I also have re-built a few of them..I even re-build the gimbals. I know every screw and part and piece in these drones. Some of the calibration procedures are kind of tricky to get dialed. If you have Apple computers it should be a lot easier to do the calibration's. Super huge fan of these amazing Drones.

[@soulesperanza]

Glad I am not a DJI victom. Fact... No speed mode will turn this into a FPV Drone Racer! Look at dannymetal if you want to see what Race Copters are able to. This is a nice plastic toy, I wait untill Phantom 12 is shipping.

[@normoutandabout]

+soulesperanza2 What's your point? It's not sold as a racing drone, and if you buy it as such, it's your fault.

[@soulesperanza]

+normix have you watched the video above? We all know what a phantom is, the presenter seems to be a bit exaggerating.

[@soulesperanza]

+soulesperanza2 metalldanny is the correct youtube name, sorry.

[@Lenny3669]

Please tell me the P3 controllers will work with it. I don't need a pause button or the sport mode toggle. If my other controllers won't work with a P4 I'll wait until they fix the firmware because that's ridiculous.

[@IDKOKIDK]

Is that asian girl Norm's Fiance ?

[@DesignsbyCADPRO]

+I don't know That's what I thought?

[@randyh6636]

It seems to me the subject tracking needs a lot of work. It lost him 2 times and he was in a open field? I thought it would be neat to set it on my dog and let it chase him around a field but looking at this the P4 would not be able to do it

[@twiinpk3r]

what is up with that homebutton 1:10 ?

[@tbtran1RICH1]

[@vikistefanus8510]

i really glad i saw this video. i planned to buy Phantom 3. thanks for the video..

[@FlagadorTV]

Awesome ! Love you Norman

[@MIADrones]

Love the DJI Phantom 4!!

[@andrewandron7087]

Nice rig. How is the pause button different than just releasing the sticks, though?

[@Michael_00001]

+Andrew Andron Droneguy That's what I was wondering. Why a "pause" button??

[@atari1001]

+Michael Kirst You will want to use the pause button during "tap to go" mode

[@thetrainroom]

As a filmmaker I will stick to the P3P. There is no killer argument for the camera to buy it, it's just little bit better. (Not like the jump from P2V+ to P3P). I would have liked much higher bitrate, so that video get better quality. Also 4K with 50 fps would have been great. So let's wait until next year. I think they want to put something on the market before the Lilly comes out.

[@crabhawk3775]

got mine on monday I LOVE IT!

[@truenorth365]

Looks intresting! One thing though...I never understood why the "chassi" have to be white on DJI-copters. Mostly they are up in the air, below clouds and what not. Make them dark/black?

[@EthanfromEngland-]

+Magnus Persson white is chosen I think because it has the whole clean, pure and expensive look but you're right, It seems logical for the design to be darker in colour, you know the easiest to see from a distance it can be.

[@RattyfromInsideFPV]

+Ethan Gordon Once a model gets past a certain distance, they all look black anyway. The best colours for visibility are actually blues and yellows.

[@EthanfromEngland-]

Ratty from InsideFPV Good point! :)

[@truenorth365]

+Ratty from InsideFPV Good point!

[@hendrycaven]

Well, mostly because of the design, and marketing and that bullshit, but another reason is that white attracts less light and heat, while exposed to them in high altitudes(just my opinion idk lol) 😃

[@rubenhernandez470]

great review tested!

[@kwabiNEXAS]

And then for the next Phantom 5 they`ll have extra sensors built at the top to avoid crashing into the ceiling while indoors?

[@sofloemir]

+kwabiNEXAS that's actually a really good idea. all you need is 1 sonar sensor uptop

[@kwabiNEXAS]

+Emir Yildiz Pretty sure dji already have that in mind but planning to keep the "new" feature till the next model release in the future. And if it`s true they`re assholes lol

[@tcroft]

+Emir Yildiz how about a 360 can on top and bottom for full view

[@jansonntag8413]

Although lacking the "High Speed" and "Pause" button: can I use my Phantom 3 Pro remote with the phantom 4? Reason for asking is: for normal flying I would use the standard P4 remote, but I upgraded my P3P remote with a better antenna enabling it for more range/higher distances/better signal in places with a lot of Wifi's/interference. So I would like to switch between my P3P and P4 remote depending on conditions. Possible?

[@Lenny3669]

+Jan Sonntag Exactly. I won't buy it if my other remotes won't work as backups.

[@Jannis-m-j]

5:00 I thought there aren´t anymore props in the Video

[@RichardMorrissey]

+Cntrlr Rotors only show in sport mode apparently.

[@CycleCruza]

Sick!

[@TucsonDude]

+CycleCruza Well!

[@pratikbankar5753]

+CycleCruza I like your vlogs I like your bike CBR 1000 fucking RR

[@jeg3224]

I'm curious how the tracking feature works when the drone is out in front of the object being tracked with the object approaching the drone; i.e. does the drone move backward to keep the subject in view? As I type this, I'm realizing that that probably isn't the case, since there aren't camera's in the rear to 'watch out' for obstacles to avoid.

[@aihome242]

So what is the initial, basic summary on battery? it was mentioned but Norm you've had to had gotten a good idea from just those flights right? what was average time, at least 20 Min?

[@HiHai]

Very clear and useful video.

[@bobs152]

I found that the obstacle tracking works great if you increase the height of the DJI/4

[@LateNightHacks]

Hey, does this come with a mini machine-gun or rocket luncher attachment accessory?

[@futureworldmedia5519]

Obstacle avoidance is not my main issue flying straight forward. It's when I am flying side to side trying to get a tracking shot. Wish it had cameras on the side too. Don't know how many trees I have clipped tracking side to side. lol

[@TheHighTechHobbyist]

The Active Track feature is great, but a lot of third party apps are incorporating this feature. The Phantom 3 can now do the same thing.

[@GustoUFO]

I wanna know what happens when the drone is following you in that follow the person mode and 1 or 2 other people walk near you or in opposite direction. Will the drone follow the other person? I saw a video of a person running without the remote with the follow me mode, would you have to run back to the remote and select the come home button?

[@RattyfromInsideFPV]

Glad you walked between the flags Norm, i was hoping you would do that.

[@Addnnan]

Love your videos:) i have the dji phantom 4 and i love it! keep up the good work!

[@snookinhardinfl]

Would this be good for a beginner?

[@KitariFox]

I miss my little phantom fc40 now. Most of the time I'd just keep the camera off and do some stunt flying and it always seemed to relax me. I'll probably just build my own next time though.

[@farhanb4914]

size comparison? Will it fit in the p3 pro backpack?

[@DirtyBird]

Question: Where did you get the P4-compatible version of the Go app? I have the P4 but I don't have a compatible Go app & can't register it to start the motors.

[@richardjames26]

Does the subject object tracking feature work at night or in areas where there is low light?

[@fioremotors3228]

I have a Phantom 3 Pro and I love it. I would love to upgrade to the Phantom 4 but I dont see the new features worth the $1400 yet. I was hoping that the 4k camera would have a zoom feature before digging into the pocket. Also the follow me feature gets lost too easily just by walking around. How would it react to following a larger object at higher speeds such as a slow moving car or boat...

[@daggad02]

Very good first look, thank you.

[@MichaelNugentDDSPasadena]

Do you have to use an ipad? Or can you use any tablet? Android phone?

[@SpankytheTswana]

it seems some drones [apps] have a problem with android but work well with apple. can u connect the phantom to your Samsung for example or are they built to work with apple only?

[@peteryu4353]

I am definitely getting the Phantom 4

[@markybyeah]

I would wait and see if anyone reports cracking issues first, like all the p3 range had. It's too early yet IMO

[@thewhitepanda60]

Get the Typhoon H.

[@reinforcer9000]

algorithmically, do they use a neural net for image processing and object recognition/tracking? that tracking though is really fragile. I would've liked to see you put multiple pedestrians in there to see if it can accurately track the target.

Yeah that is what I thought would be the case. The tracking and the collision avoidance are good features until they don't work. can you imagine the person who buys one of these because of all the highly touted features and goes mountain biking only to turn around and find his quad had attention deficit disorder? Or went on a hike through the woods to find it didn't miss the tree. All this stuff is great but we still need a few years of development to get it right. All that being said, I'm glad that DJI and YUNEEC are brining us this technology. Wonder where we will be with it in 5 more years.Thanks for the review. I was thinking of getting one but seeing how easily it looses tracking, I'll wait and see where the quads fall, I mean "where the cards fall".

dual IMU and dual processors on board! This might be a researchers dream!

[@fiatfiasco]

So what kind of radius can it orbit an object to? How close can it get?

[@IgWannA2]

Basically, Skynet has begun.
