DJI Phantom 4
There is massive buzz around drones these days, which has
led to manufacturers rushing to create their version of the best drone money
can buy. There are so many choices these days, which brand do you go for, what
drone has best value for money?
Well of course, the first brand that comes to mind is DJI,
after the success of the Phantom 1, every filming enthusiast and professional
wanted that drone in their arsenal, which lead to incredible imagery and thus
created more hype for the product. 4 generations later we are now presented
with the Phantom 4, a world class, top of its field drone that offers all the
bells and whistles.
I recently purchased myself the Phantom and straight away
put it to the test. After reading the manual very carefully and going through
all the instructions, I put together the P4 and lift off, the drone was in the
air, exactly as the manual said. When using the GPS assisted slow flight mode,
the P4 was the simplest thing I have flown, from take off to landing.
The DJI Phantom 4 also boasts that they are the smartest
drone ever, with many other smart functions such as Follow Me, Tap To Fly,
Visual Tracking and Obstacle Avoidance. Having said this, I am not a fan of any
of these, as its hard to trust my drone to fly on its own and do what it wants,
I have seen to many fail videos of these functions not working. But, the
obstacle detection function is amazing, the drone will just not allow you to
you fly into things, even in sport mode, hover up to a wall and try fly into
it, well it aren’t going to happen.
Over all, I find this drone incredible, and for me, the best
part, is the sports mode, nothing like it. With the speeds I am able to get, I
can chase cars, or do some insanely fast circular tracking shots around
obstacles.
I have been to do things with this drone that just amaze me,
and more I fly, more brave I get trying crazy movements at high speeds and it
just keep going. With me getting braver, I have put my drone in dangerous
spots, which some ended up with crashing and some close calls, but the drone
has kept going, and stills flies strong.
