Review: DJI Phantom 4 drone offers pro features with beginner simplicity - techAU

Drones have come a long way in the past few years and the DJI Phantom 4 remains one of the most sophisticated that your consumer dollars can buy. In 2016, its possible to buy a drone for less than a hundred dollars, so why would you spend $2,000 on one? The answer is actually very simple. Drones typically have 2 functions, the first is simply the flying mechanics making it fun for the pilot, but the second is recording footage from on-board cameras. When it comes to image quality, the video and images that come out of the Phantom 4 are some of the best I’ve seen from any camera and for the size of it, that’s seriously impressive. Now […]

DJI's top consumer drone is smart enough to practically fly itself while you concentrate on getting awesome aerial shots. But maybe that's not such a good thing.

DJI Phantom 4 review: Lofty ambitions

Aerial imaging using drones is an increasingly popular means off adding a whole new perspective to your narrative, and your budget doesn’t have to expand to that of the DOD’s to add one to your kit.

Read on to find out how well the Phantom 4’s sensor performs.
