I don't know where to start. The firmware updates are so simple, not perfect but close, they are getting there. No fooling around with your sd cards to do an update just about plug and play. The finish on the Phantom, RC, and everything associated with the Phantom. I am an Apple guy big time. If you have seen the Apple packaging such as the watch the P4 is identical. I don't know if DJI and Apple use the same vendor or just the same process but, the strength and smooth pure white finish really adds a lot of class to the product. I like the collision avoidance system. It is pretty much flawless. I have tried it in a large amount of circumstances intentionally and it never fails. One of my tests is a 4" fence post in my yard and it sees it every time. The responsiveness of the P4 is truly amazing. It handles like a Formula 1 car. You tell it to stop and as soon as it gets the command it has stopped in flight, hardly any drift at all. That is a bit unnerving at first and until your mind accepts it. My example is to put it full speed up and let the left stick go back to center for a hover. When you do that you will hear the motors shut down, a bit scary at first because you think that it is going to come down like a rock. Actually what is happening is that the P4 knows the height that the stop command was initiated and is dropping to that point and then going into the hover. The installation and removal of the props is so simple, just push down to unlock and a slight rotation and they are on or off. The flight time is perfect for my flying. I am not an aggressive flyer and I get a good 30 minutes of flight per charge. Speaking of charging the optional 3 battery charging hub is top shelf. Not only will it charge the batteries it will also discharge and maintain the batteries at the recommended 50%. The quality of photos and video are truly amazing and I am a high end photographer. My workhorse is a Nikon D3x 25 mp camera which I will never part with. The news lens on the P4 is super sharp. The auto exposure mode is spot on. The auto functions are spot on, just fly and photograph with no worries. The new Gimbal is very strong and speaking of the the transport guard is just as easy as the prop installation and removal. Those are the things that immediately come to mind when you ask what I like about the P4. The "GO" program is a complete story in itself. I use the intelligent orientation on a regular basis and it makes things so easy to fly.
Once you fly the P4 there is no looking back. You get a quality reliable product for a very modest price. |
