Is it worth owning a DJI Phantom 4 Pro in 2023? 

The Mavic 3 is also a great drone. That Hasselblad 4/3 CMOS camera is top notch. It’s amazing how the P4P is still relevant in 2023. Technology moves so fast but the Phantom 4 Pro can still holds its own amongst the newer drones. Getting another P4P to replace the one you sold was a wise choice. I would have done the same. I really appreciate you watching and sharing your experience. Take care ✌️😎.

Why the regret

But the cost of the battery of P4P was high . And fly time also less, are you facing frequent problems like remote and drone disconnects when flying?

@@arundev8594 No

Thank you, I appreciate you watching and providing the feedback.

You’re missing out bro. I believe Rob is selling one. Check the comments. I’ve heard his is nice… 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥!!! 😂🤣😂

Yeah, that’s exactly what I am trying to explain. People are caught up on the latest and forget that the Phantom 4 Pro is already checking most of boxes. In some aspects, even better than some of the new releases. Investing in more batteries was smart. Thanks for stopping in, I really appreciate it. 🙏🙏🙏

Billy’s the best. Thanks bro. Yeah, I had to remind the people. I appreciate all the support. ✌️😎

Thanks for sharing your experience. I appreciate you sharing. I’ve never used 3rd party batteries on my DJI drones. How did it work out?

@@CaptureLifeConnection They work good. The drone doesn't complain about them. The only difference is the springs that push on the clips are stronger. So I have to squeeze the clips down, and then slip the battery into the drone and push it in. They get about 20 minutes of flight. I ended up getting a 2nd one.

@@DAS-Videos Not bad, sounds like it’s working out. Huge difference in price for sure.

Thank you Ron. Yes, there are many reason most have abandoned their Phantom 4 Pro. Size has always made the list. Thanks for stopping in. 🙏🙏🙏

Yooo Al! Happy Holidays bro! I bet that the Phantom 4 Pro pay for itself a very long time ago. It’s a workhorse 💪. It’s crazy how people in community forget how great it is, specification wise. Congrats on M3E, that’s another beast but yeah, certain features are missing. Thank you, I had great time flying in the Catskills. Lol, stop 😂🤣😂 Billy is the man!

Thank you! I really appreciate it Dray.

Wow, you’ve had quite a line up. Impressive! I’ve had a few drones as well and I completely agree with you. It’s in my truck charged up and ready to go during most of my drone sessions. I appreciate you stopping in. Take care ✌️😎

Yes, I agree. I appreciate you stopping in 🙏🙏🙏

Yes, it’s hard to beat price wise (Great Value). Thank you for sharing your experience as a drone service business. You definitely have a lot of expertise in this industry. Your comment is greatly appreciated. I wish you all the best! ✌️😎

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I really appreciate it.

Thank you Ray! I really appreciate all your support 🙏🙏🙏. Yeah, but you have a Mavic 3 🏆‼️ 😁

The Mavic 3 Pro is definitely an upgrade. It will be a long time before they stop updating it. It’s amazing how they keep adding value to the Mavic 3 Pro. That latest firmware update was impressive.

@@CaptureLifeConnection that's my point, in about a year they will probably make Mavic 4, with more fly time, better camera, and more intelligent features - and they will simply forget older drones users, which seem to be the case for DJI so far. Rapid innovation is great, I just wish DJI cared more about existing drones users. Which makes me question, wether or not buying a next DJI drone is a good investment.

@@markfreemanvideo this is a concern for many people. DJI keeps dropping new products and upgrading the transmission systems. Leaving pricey RC units stuck with older drones. I could go on and on. For now I am very happy with my lineup. I really appreciate you sharing your views on the subject 🙏🙏🙏.

Thank you Mikey🙏. I would buy it from you if I didn’t have 2 already. I have one Phantom 4 Pro and one Phantom 4 Advanced in the garage collection dust…lol

Thank you. Yeah, it’s unfortunate that people just focus on the latest tech. Overlooking such a great drone. That’s a great idea. I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.

Same here, it truly is.

Never heard of that issue but I’ll ask around. I’m in a large drone community. Maybe someone could help.

Throw them away. We never mess with questionable batteries. It’s not worth the rest.

That is strange. I know a lot of people that have the Phantom 4 Pro and I’ve never heard this before. My first question is, are you using official DJI batteries? If not, I would highly recommend you do so.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Hey! Thank you 🙏. I really appreciate you stopping in.

We'll all chip in and get you a waterfall for next Christmas.

@@DroneBum I meant a Phantom 4 Pro 🙄

It’s a great drone, just be very careful purchasing a preowned drone. If you’re planning on getting one.

John, thanks for stopping in bro 🙏

Thank you Chris, I had a great time flying there.

😂! I’m still flying the spaceship. Do you have a Mavic? If so, which one?

@@CaptureLifeConnection Планировал приобрести Mavic 3 classic, но после просмотра Вашего видео призадумался о приобретении Phantom 4 pro😎. P. S Первая школа у меня это Mavic mini 1 . Я живу высоко в горах на Кавказе и тут часто погода ветренная, особенно в горах....

I believe the Phantom line had a module within for remote ID way before this was a thing. I recall other veteran pilots speak about on drone livestreams. I haven’t confirmed it yet though. Adorama is a trusted store that sells the batteries. Amazon has questionable sellers. I’ve had issues with DJI FOV batteries from Amazon. I wouldn’t recommend buying batteries from that source.

@@CaptureLifeConnection thanks. But I purchased one from Adorama and it didn’t last very long either 😤

The Phantom 4 Pro is still being used by 90% of my friends that have official drone businesses. They are workhorses of the drone market. And stores like Adorama still sell batteries, etc. I’m sure there are many reputable repair shops willing to fix them as well. Unfortunately, there’s currently no American company that comes close in quality, reliability, and cost. I also would love to invest in an American made drone. I wish you a great 2024! Take care ✌️😎 Sorry for the delayed response. I never received a notification and I found a bunch of unanswered comments exploring my app.

Thank you! I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. I believe I shot at 24FPS, 1/50 shutter speed with a ND filter on. ISO at 100. The ND filters is the key to keeping those shutter speeds low. You get that nice motion blur that makes the image more cinematic. 😁

@@CaptureLifeConnection Appreciate for your reply. What ND Filters did you use?

@@patrickchase3504 PolarPro ND16

@@CaptureLifeConnection Thank you for your reply. Did you use Cinelike or DLog or Normal? And what settings did you use for - Sharpness,, Contrast, Saturation? Also, isn't ND 16 to much for day Sunlight?

Would appreciate any help.

It’s a great drone. Still a hard drone to follow.

@@CaptureLifeConnection I agree. I don’t have a reason to purchase another. Just because new things come out, doesn’t mean it’s better

@@CaptureLifeConnection I’m going to the Bahamas in 2 months and I’m taking it with me

@@vincebaldwin2829 exactly, people get caught up with all the hype when something new is released. Meanwhile, the Phantom 4 pro is superior to most of the drones currently available.

I had to remind people. Take care! ✌️😎

I would try facebook marketplace or OfferUp. Let me know how it goes. I’m curious 🧐. ✌️😎

Yes, I agree. Even with 2024 around the corner I would still recommend it. Take care and thanks for watching ✌️😎

It wasn’t one of those “great minds think alike” situations, I was at your window with binoculars when you were writing down your ideas. 👀‼️🤓! 😂😂 Yeah bro, I honestly bring my Phantom 4 Pro to a lot of drone sessions. Especially, places like the Catskills and even Philly. Remember that day we flew the trains? I showed you the Phantom 4 Pro in my truck. I figure if you are driving to the location, why not!

@@CaptureLifeConnection lol. I knew someone was spying on me.. lol... Great job Steve.. I've been wanting to make a video with some of my older drones.. I miss flying them.. and since I'm broke and single now . Lol. Fuck it.. let's rip... Bro I'm loving the Avata with them upgraded motors.. not a huge difference but it absolutely makes it fly so much smoother and you have the punch out power now.. 💙💙. I hope your holiday was happy and filled with family and love... You deserve it Stevie.. you never judged me and I'll never forget that bro.. 🙏🙏👍👍👍👍. Thank you. Mikey

@@PhillyDroneLife bro, go for it. Do a video with your older drones. No one can duplicate a Philly Drone Life Production!! Because there is only one Mikey!! You know when people first started upgrading the props on the DJI FPV I thought I would never do it. But eventually I did. Now I keep telling myself to not mess with the Avata but more than likely I will. I’m always worried about losing my insurance coverage for altering the device. I’ll keep you posted on that one bro. I had a great holiday. I’m very grateful for those around me. I believe it shows in the way I move around this world. It’s nothing to do with gifts 🎁 🎁🎁. Although, I appreciate those as well 😇😆😁. I’m a phone call away bro 📲. Hit me up if you need to talk 👂

@@CaptureLifeConnection hahaha. I fuckin love the way you write...💙💙👍👍 Yahooooooooooo... And your right.. no one would do it like Philly.. lol.. I'm starting to believe that Stevie... . 💙💙🤙🤙👍👍👍👍 Thank you for always reminding me of that.. bro. I was the same exact way but I HAD TO KNOW... Lol. I had to know.. lol. Are the new props\motors better?..... btw as far as insurance, DJI replaced my Avata with the old motors thrown in the box with the Avata smashed up with it... Hahaha... hahaha. Wtf that's what refresh is for... refresh my drone! Damit....It's fucked up.. hahaha.. as far as the difference....... it's a little more then the feeling of an new FPV props on your DJI FPV drone.. that's what it feels like.. you decide if it's worth it.. I did it to hopefully stop the falling out of the sky.. Lol.... with the upgraded firmware that helps and the upgraded motors that's help a little more... I'm hoping to have a dependable drone...v2 so to speak... With that being said... If your not familiar with soldering and ARE GOOD AT IT.. LOL LOL. Don't attempt this yourself WORKOUT REFRESH.. lol lol....at least then if you mess up you just throw it all in a box send it back and you only pay like 29 bucks for a new one... Mikey

🙂🙃🙂

Yeah, I’ve seen some clips from that movie 😂

There’s a article released in January 4th, 2021 that states the DJI Phantom 4 Pro & 4 Pro V2 comply with broadcast Remote ID requirements. It was written by Drone U and can be found by searching on Google. I’ve heard from local New York pilots that this information is true.

@@CaptureLifeConnection I will check mine with a Remote ID reader after firmware updates come out.

@@WA4OSH okay, please let me know what you find.

​@@CaptureLifeConnection No Remote ID yet after take-off. Here are the installed versions: Phantom 4 Pro V2 V01.00.5200 2020-07-20 Remote Controller V01.00.04.00 2019-12-24 Hopefully, we'll get an update that enables Remote ID.

@@WA4OSH interesting… Yeah, it should have the capabilities, it’s just not activated. Will see 🤔.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Ha! Yeah, there’s great deals out there on these drones. I wish you all the best in 2024! Take care and thanks for watching 🙏

Thanks Rob. I remember that P4P. Quirky, lol 😂. Yeah, I agree.

How much would you sell it for if its available still?

Lol 😂. I knew it! You get the best deals bro! Thanks for stopping in 😁🙏🙏😁

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve cut the intros down drastically since the release of this video. Take care ✌️😎
