I bought DJI Phantom 4 pro+ V2.0 in 2018 when it was released and I have been used it since then. I just love it. Yeah it's big but weight comes handy when weather is windy. It's allways worked fine and not single part has ever broke down. Just few weeks ago I change original propellers to new ones. So yeah it's very tough machine.

I have this P4Pro + AND still have my P3Pro, but the P3Pro has stopped communicating with the camera.. so, it's a brick. BUT, the P4Pro is still my go-to drone. I have so many hours on it and will use it until it's no longer usable. As they get to the end of their life, I take more risks with them and get some great sequences. Fly it in storms, winter snow, and take risks that I would not do with a new drone. The batteries are still strong, though the remote battery is no longer fully charging. I agree with all the points you've made, great video! Thanks!

The Phantom 4 Pro is still my main aircraft for work. It's a solid machine.

[paulmc]

One of the most stable drones on the market. I love the one I use!

I had mine for 7 years and i just started flying it again, I still enjoy flying it

[KellDogg]

As somebody who has numerous drones and have been in the hobby a few years I find myself flying the drones that take the least amount of time to get in the air the most. I bought an RC pro controller just so I didn’t have to connect my phone to the controller! If I had more drone work, I would definitely look into getting a phantom because, as you said, perception is everything!!

I recently upgraded from my P4P, which I've owned since its release, to a Mavic 3 with the Fly More combo, without any additional cost. This was possible because I sold my P4P to a photogrammetry company. For them, a drone with a mechanical shutter, like the P4P, is extremely valuable due to its high-quality imaging capabilities, which is why it retains its value so well.

[dainjah]

Mechanical shutter is the main reason I bought it in 2024. I needed it for mapping and photogrammetry

[ChristiaanRoest]

I agree. Its still a great drone. One of my favorites. Would love to have a Phantom 5

[dishsoap]

I used to film thunderstorms with my phantom 3. The little guys would probably get tossed around. Haven’t flown in a couple years and am sad to see they don’t make the Phantom anymore.

[bullryda]

Would love to have one. They would be AWSOME for high winds and capturing fast water sports. Thanks for the throw back. Lol.

[GeorgePapadopoulos]

Dji phantom 4 pro is a work horse, I still using mine v2 without a single issue.

[bobfiore]

Still one of the best drones out there. Great info Eddie!!

[Wolfi]

My father is still having fun with his Phantom 3. When I tell him to get rid of that old bucket, he always says I don't need more.

[Wedgenbigg]

Great review. There is a lot that one can take away from this video. While not for me, a lot of people can find some great use of the Phantom.

[TimeFLYAlDiaz]

Fly mine at least once a week per request of a construction client. Great job! Eddie

[kennyjoeldegraciaolmos]

The cons, for mapping it can't be used, because the Built-in screen can't install 3rd apps, i guess

[Sedici-Competizione]

I still fly mine here and there, I have the older first version that uses light bridge 2. the only thing I never liked was when flying sideways and the gimbal reaches pitch limit and then the gimbal centers itself making it look like you are crashing on the footage. Going sideways you have to watch your pitch and speed to avoid it

[chrisgaalen]

I have the standard Phantom 4, starded it up after 3 years or so.The only update was geofencing, no firmware. Are there updates available in 2023? i have all green status now and up to go.

[mnadel]

Thanks for the great video. I love and still have my phantom 4 pro. I also have a mavic 2 air. Is there a smart controller that works with that drone? Thanks again. Just subscribed.
