DJI's Phantom 4 adds groundbreaking object avoidance plus an improved high-quality, robust build
High-quality stabilised footage ; Object avoidance ; Easy to fly
Phantom 3 batteries not compatible ; Constant software updates ; App can get a bit confusing
The Phantom 4 is a refinement of the Phantom 3 Professional. There are tweaks to the camera's performance, but the major upgrades are the robust design, improved materials, and clever flight aids using new sensors. This makes the Phantom 4 a worthwhile...

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.
The DJI Phantom 4 is a very polished drone compared to its competition, and for those who've flown a quad before, you'll have no trouble getting started with this one. The new Sport mode lets you get to your location faster or just have some fun. Its...
The Obstacle Sensing System only sees things in front of the drone. You still need a tablet or phone ready to go along with the controller and drone battery. Extra batteries are expensive. Landing gear and camera are fixed to the body, so you can't...
Yep, it's not cheap, but DJI has made one of the smartest drones available with the Phantom 4.

Now that prices of previous Phantoms have dropped massively, is the Phantom 4 worth a massive £1229? We think so, and you'll find out why in our DJI Phantom 4 review.
The Phantom 4 is unquestionably DJI’s best drone yet. It shoots decent quality 4K video and is easier to control than ever before. Batteries are very expensive, though, and the intelligent modes still don’t quite match those you’ll get with a 3DR Solo...

Thinking of giving drones a go? The Phantom 4 is where you start
Obstacle detection and automatic modes means it practically flies itself ; Still the easiest drone to use, even in Sport mode ; Fantastic camera and an even better gimbal
Low light still a challenge ; Lack of model choice
Not just a simple step up – the Phantom 4 is a massive leap forward for drones that should open the doors to everyone

The DJI Phantom 4 certainly isn't cheap, but does this drone offer good quality in return for your money? We found it simple to set up for first use, but our full review reveals our expert verdict on just how confident you should feel while flying the...

We review the DJI Phantom 4 - the top of the range consumer drone from DJI with a 12mp camera, 4K video recording, and a 3-axis gimbal for stable shooting.
Easy to fly with Beginner mode ; Comes with protective case and lens cover ; 4K video with lots of options ; Good 12-megapixel photo modes ; Improved flight time ; Follow feature ; Direct firmware update from smartphone ; HDR shooting mode ; High-speed...
No zoom ; White drone is easy to lose in bright sky ; Price compared to P3 Advanced/Professional ; Some other remotes feature a built-in screen ; Sometimes height drops ; Loud
In terms of drone photography and video, the DJI Phantom 4 is one of the best available, with a stylish design and magnesium core for strength. As DJI are one of the leading and most popular brands in the consumer drone industry, it makes sense that...

DJI's new Phantom 4 drone is sleeker, more intelligent and easier to control than most drones.
Good looking ; Makes expert flying a snap for beginners ; Has real intelligence
Expensive
The DJI Phantom 4 drone is easily one of the best pro-sumer drones on the market.

Packed with new technology and updated features, the DJI Phantom 4 is better than ever — it's the most capable drone you can buy
The DJI Phantom 4 is not quite a drone for the non-enthusiast, then, but it’s closer than ever before to that ideal, and it’s the safety features – the collision-detection and tracking features, not to mention the safety net of the automatic...

The latest version of DJI's top-end consumer drone, the Phantom 4, improves on its predecessor in many ways. It's the best consumer drone on the market, and it's priced accordingly.
