Greetings everybody from Norway,

I did it, bought a brand new P4 in the DJI store, and two extra batteries. That cost me 1.937,00 €. That really hurt, but wth, it is my money, and my hobby :-) I have a P3 Advanced and a lot of accessories. Most needs to be replaced, however I would think I kan reuse som of my stuff, what do you guys think?


- I have a DUBRO 499 prop balancer, I would hope/expect a new prop balancer rod will be released for the P4 props
- I also want my FlyTrex Live 3G to work with the P4
- And I want a powerfull strobe light system for my evening/night flights :-)


Btw, I hope the new prop locking mechanic is durable... it looks a little to complex (lots of small parts) and a lot of plastic...but I am looking forward to the P4 :-)

Aloha Thac,

     This sounds like you will be having some serious fun!  Keep us posted!  If it worked for your P3A, your FlyTrex Live 3G should work for your P4; and are you getting the strobe lights or do you already have them?

Aloha and Drone On!

I certainly hope the P4 (beta) works, it did cost a lot of money. I am really looking forward to the improved hovering, dual IMU's and Compass (reliability), and the new fun (sport) mode. I hope third party products for the P4 will release soon.

Regarding FlyTrex, I can't use my existing P3A FlyTrex holder, and the FlyTrex Power wiring/connectors needs to be replaced for the P4. Regarding strobes, I really hope for a PnP system I can mount inside the P4 that use the P4 battery. I have no issues with drilling small holes in the P4 shell for the strobe lights. Or I need to construct it from scratch using strobons (v2), a power down converter, and hook it all up to the new P4 powerplant :-)

Was posted double...

I agree, I am not too sure how strong these snap in props will function under constant wear but I am sure they did do a full stress test (oh I hope).

congrats Thacyoon ... hope you enjoy!


Why so many haters?

Aloha Thac,

     Aside from the other comments about crashes and past problems, you get to pave the way with this new technology - and have fun doing it.  But, just like any sport, to stay healthy you need to approach any new skill slowly until you have all the detail movements and adjustments down pat.  Your new P4 will be no different.  Go slow first and then once you have it, the fun will be more intense!

Aloha and Drone On!

Do you think that DJI didn't test in the Sport mode ?
I know that sometimes they do some stupid things, but I'm sure they extensively tested the sport mode.

What is with you and jealousy? You brag up your shit thinking/hoping that people will be jealous and now you think someone here is jealous over  P4. Youre retarded. Any one of us here could have a P4 if we wanted one.

Please Don't worry about me, or my many toys, worry about your self, ok?I found my way through life, hopefully you will too. Ha
I wrote that out of jest, but forgot the smilie face. ;-)

Yes, this is a very good advice for any soon-to-be P4 owners. I will take it slow and easy to adapt and learn my new expensive  "toy". Main reason for P4 (I do have a P3A) is the sport mode - the FUN mode :-)

Ohhh... and if anything goes wrong while manuvering agressivly in sport mode and 120% gains, props spinning off, shell cracks, damaged motor mounts and so on.... it will be covered by DJI warranty as long as I can prove by log/telemetry/video that it was not a pilot error. I am sure DJI will fix my bird if it is damaged during agressive flying - it is built and advertised to sustain the new high stress forces in "sport mode"

Great! Congratulations! Phantom 4 is a great machine! definitely worth that money
