3rd time around, tried em all, P4P is the best, simple as that, i will NEVER change again
Do you still prefer the phantom over the new air 2s, just curious
I agree at least for now hehe
You can get a carry case for the phantom which allows you to keep the props on
That solves an issue! 👌🏼
Still using my Phantom 4 Pro V1, 4k/60, mecanical shutter, better wind resistance... Just beats the maciv 2 pro in any way besides size!
Exactly, something isn't right when I look at mavic images
Sorry, but you are so wrong for that "any way". V1 is complete shit piece of drone only because of one fact- outdated and poor lightbridge. I had so manny problem with it . I have used all Mavic and Phantom drones, and there are 2 serious drones: Phantom 4 pro v2 and Mavic2 pro.
@@zolaneger I'm using the P4A. Alientech pro booster fixed all the connection problems.
Been doing real estate photography for years now and have both the phantom 4 pro and Mavic 2 pro and I stopped using the phantom 4. I’ve compared my photos from hundreds of houses and the ones that I’ve taken with the Mavic are noticeably sharper and more vibrant (after editing) than the photos I take with my phantom. Now the phantom takes the cake with the sharpness and quality without having to edit but for some reason when I edit my Mavic photos they turn out much, much better. And I edit my photos from both the Mavic and Phantom but started using my Mavic more when I noticed the final photos were better. If anyone would like to see my photos to compare themselves pm me and I can send you my website.
@@MoYammaBatFitch Wow good timing on posting this comment. I would like to see your photos and I'd like to compare them myself! I just got my Part 107 license a week ago and am ready to use my Mavic 2 Pro for real estate work. Just not sure how to begin in this business. But regardless I'd still like to see the pictures you took!
Got the Phantom 4 Pro Plus v2 earlier this month. It flies like a dream and I love the quality of the camera (since that's why I bought it). It's an amazing aircraft.
It really is, congrats on your purchase! :)
Mike, first great intro. Can tell you put some time in the sounds design on that one (nice!). Second, I thought that clip at 5:05 (drone into water) was hysterical...made me chuckle. Nicely done! Know what would be nice...if DJI made some of their controllers 'cross-compatible' so 1 controller can be used with more than a single quad. Agree...it's way to big than is actually needed.
I still think its the best prosumer drone in the market. Love it.
Yep, I agree with that. I'd use this anyday for commercial jobs.
I guess I will keep my Hubsan Zino Pro for leisure and get a Phantom 2 Pro Thanks for your video
While I agree that the P4P is superior to the Mavic, I must say that the sharpest point of the supposed Hasselblad lens is between F4 and 5.6. any more closed down and that lens simply falls apart. Love both but the P4Pv2 is the
master!
I own both drones and the Phantom BLOWS the Mavic 2 Pro AWAY! Hasselblad My ASS :-)
Do you have goggles?
I think I’ll buy the Phantom 4 - 2.0 because quality is what I’m chasing.
Great points, nice to hear some good things said about the Phantom. I own the mavic 2 pro and the phantom 4 pro v2.0 plus and have the choice of which to use. I always take both with me in my car and have the Manfroto backpack for the phantom and an aftermarket backpack to carry my mavic 2 pro so for me there is no issue at all transporting the phantom as in the backpack it is no more bulky or difficult to carry than the mavic 2 pro but the footage from the phantom is so so so much nicer than the mavic 2 pro.
❤❤❤❤
I have a Phantom 4 Pro Plus Obsidian with integrated screen: the best drone I have ever flown. There is another advantage with the Phantom: a bigger ground clearance for the propellers
What are your settings for a great cinematic footage
Been using the Phantom 4 Pro 4 3 years and will continue. I fly for a living and have two Phantom and one Mavic. My phantom is my workhorse, the Mavic is my convenient aircraft. Both serve their purpose.
The P4P V2 is great drone, but size does matter to a lot of us, and it's just big for a travel drone. Great review and comparison Mike.
Best feature of the P4Pro is ATTI mode. You can still control the drone after all satellite connections are lost. My P4Pro decided to fly away from me one day, I had no control over it at all. I switched to ATTI mode and successfully regained control.
I totally agree with you on the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0
Some modes the P4P has but the M2P has not:
-Ati Mode
-Follow Me
-Course lock
-Home lock
-Draw mode
-Terrain follow
-FOV 84°
-NO CROP at 4K
Good points!
@@izoyt Good points and opinion! Personally I think it would be a big mistake if dji were to eliminate completely the mid size platform (Phantoms) because if they did and you wanted something bigger than a Mavic you'd have to get an Inspire! And that's a REALLY big drone! lol (And costs 6k to start) They would def lose alot of customers to Evo 2 if they did that imo, cheers!
Top shots!!!
Smart controller would help I would think for some of your issues.
Still have my Phantom 4 Pro v1.. Still the King of drones. image is just sharp and crispy
Great video as always, keep up the good work!
Much appreciated, as always :)
I have both , got the M2 P because my P4P is broken but the P4P is the best drone ever ( I am dreaming about a P4P V2 Obsidian )
It's my Someday drone. Well let's be honest, by the time I'm out of school and ready to buy it. There will probably be a phantom III but really cool footage.
@D D From what I've heard DJI has discontinued the Phantom line up. No more rumors of the Phantom 5 it seems. Sucks because even though I was never going to buy it, I would've loved to see the advancements in technology they could've crammed in there just like the Mavic 2 lineup.
Can you confirm that the pumping effect in 4K has been fixed? It kept the V1 from being a serious pro drone. Perhaps a few seconds of unedited 4K can be made avaialbe for download? Thanks for the great review!
I haven't noticed any pumping effect in any of my shots to be honest!
Good job brother 🤘👊🏽
Thanks my man 🙌🏼
Fantastic video ! Have just acquired a P 4P v 2 . Could you please tell me your preference EXP & Sensitivity settings - as I need to adjust mine. Thank you 😊
Very nice review, thanks !
Hi
At the end of the day the most important thing will be the quality of the video (what everyone will see), no matter how it got there or if it suffered for its transportation or not, or if you had to apply smart modes, etc. *Nothing:* Only the end result matters. Regards
Mike, love your channel. Surprised you set the Mavic 2 Pro at ƒ11 no ND filter. It's been well documented that the Hasselblad camera performs poorly at ƒ11. ƒ4 is the sweet spot for performance.
I’m aware, I just wanted to use exactly the same settings and not use ND filters on the Mavic
Awesome tutorial
I really enjoy your channel
Is the camera exactly the same as the v1 phantom 4 pro? Is there any difference at all, sorry if it sounds daft, need to know as I'm planning on buying a used p4p+ ( version 1)
i agree for the most part, however as mentioned it is subjective to individual need. The con of fitting props twist lock the 4 for instance takes twice as long on the Maverick 2. How you turned that into a con for the 4 is beyound me. Thanks for ur video. Oh i'm still using a 4 pro\plus 8 years later.
Can you travel internationally with the phantom 4?
even the p4p v1 still kicking and can do the job👌
Throw in a set of the new props and you almost have the v2.0. It's a good machine that's for sure!
@@DroneSupremacy I fly a Phantom 4 Pro mark 1 in Bali, and its a nightmare. There is so much wifi-'spillage' at 2.4 gigahertz from homes, villages, hotels on beaches etc that I lose connection with the drone only a few hundred metres out. If I switch to 5.8 Gigahertz, the range seems seriously curtailed and the connection seems weak. Scary stuff, as I worry about losing the drone. That has happened a few times too many for me, with anxious 'Return to Home' button pushed. Additionally i have had to ditch two batteries which started to swell, even after I took extreme care with them. And they are crazy expensive, between 150-200 dollars each. That is ridiculous. And each of my batteries had only done about 20-odd flights. Yes, the portability issue: I don't have a car, so I transport my bird in a backpack designed for the job. I have a motorcycle with a 46 litre box on the back, but the pack is just a teensy bit too large! BUT.. the quality of the images is amazing, straight out of the box. I tend not to add my own cinematic colouring. And in Final Cut Pro, the footage is good. I am still learning editing, as I have stopped flying over lockdown, and a bit rusty flying now.
Did you found that the cam over expose in auto exposure mode?
Bang ini Phantom Pro 4 V2.0, bisa di instal 3rd party sodftware ga ya, seperti pix4d atau drone deploy untuk mapping. Saya coba instal ga bisa connect seperti diblock.
You nailed it!
Thank you John! :)
the details in this drone is incredible!
Indeed 🤙🏼
Captain Drone channel had a tutorial on using ND filters for motion blur to make props in camera view disappear
Were you stressing a little bit near the end when that bird was checking your drone out? It looked like you were over water. My anxiety was rising. LOL.
I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida and there has been many a time I've had to kick the Phantom into sport mode and run from an aggressive gull.
For M2 the sharpening point is max f4. Using 11f is like setting the exposure to +2 and being in shock that the image is overexposed 😂
I'm aware, but i didn't want to make it unfair by using ND filters on the Mavic :)
@@DroneSupremacy Still thank you for the point of view on P4 v2 😁
Great compare my brother
Can you get this model to work with GS Pro? Not being able to automated mapping feels like a big design flaw here. Any advice?
Great review, I just got the Mavic Air 2 for my new RUclips Travel channel (which I had to pause due to Covid19 after one month of launching) and I'm looking into getting the P4P2 or wait until DJI delivers the Mavic Pro 3
Agree with stick differences on M2 and P4v2
0:48 got the exact same drone and gotta admit... a damn good shot!
Good review on P4P vs M2. I agree the handling of the M2 is better, however the P4P does have a superior camera (I have P4P V1). The ill handling aspect of the P4P has something to do with the craft navigation system I think, not the RC. The P4P cannot hold a consistent yaw rate. The M2 can hold a consistent yaw rate in a hover with no problem. I think the poor yaw consistency has something to do with the large landing gear on the P4P, causing turbulents to affect a smooth and consistent yaw. You would think the P4P with longer sticks would be easier to yaw at a consistent rate, but no, the M2 is a more capable craft for smooth and consistent yaw maneuvers, even with shorter RC sticks. Go figure!
Your point about the poor camera in M2P is accurate, I was disappointed, not only from a clarity point of view (compared to my P4P V1), but the lack of 60FPS at 4K, which the M2P doesn't support, like P4P. So I opted to buy the M2Z to take advantage of the 2X zoom, which I love for animal shoots. Yeah, it's only 1/2" sensor, but it's good enough for much of my work. The zoom is a bargain tool.
Both v1 and v2 have same camera, same sensor, just few changes in drine drone specs, not camera specs
@@fahdmoh8424 Same camera and sensor but from what I've heard DJI has had to underpower the Mavic 2 Pro's sensor capabilities for reasons unknown. I still love this drone and don't care much for it but I do see a big difference in quality than can be underwhelming at times.
Is it waterproof?
I think the same bro, nice video!
Thanks dude!
Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
Thank you for a great analysis. I'm new to drones but I'm feeling froggy and about to make the jump. Still conflicted, but the camera quality is a huge attraction to this newbie.
Lee, what was your final decision? I’m in the similar situation :)
and whats the difference between P4P V1 and V2???
i thougth light bride vs occusync but iam not sure
Mike, can the Phantom connect to the Smart Controller? I heard DJI was going to do this but haven’t seen anything definitive. Thanks for all your hard work on a great channel. I’ve learned a lot from your videos!
Different technology
Do the props always show in the video when you are moving forward.?
I feel the opposite about the remote controller. My very first drone was the phantom 4 pro and now I feel like I can’t fly the mavic series cinematically. Thinking of getting the 4 pro v2 now...
I'm using the Phantom 2 Pro V2 even last weekend for a client. The noise was not a factor and I never see the props in the pics and video unless I'm doing specific maneuvers. It does take practice to get smooth footage but you also have access to use software like Litchi and DroneDeploy (so does the Mavic Pro 2 and a few other models but not all). The King of Drones is a tough one since everyone has a preference and different pros and cons. I def expect to purchase the Mavic Pro 3 assuming it get's good reviews but in windy conditions I'd probably still use my Phantom.
Really good and well balanced video. Thanks.
is there a workaround for the props in the shot?
Excelent video. . Thank you
P4P all the way (I have both m2p and p4p v2.0). Anyone knows what happened the support of the smart controller to the p4p v2.0?
Smart controller is compatible with V2 is it not? Personally think I'm just going to grab a chrystal sky and roll with it ha ha
Great video man! So, if you were to give me your two cents on the following, what would your recommendation be? I already own the Mavic Air, which is great for portability and still has descent quality overall. I own a small filmmaking business and have been getting some more drone work lately, so I was planning on getting another drone and use the Air as a backup. Would you go for the Mavic 2 Pro or the Phantom 4 Pro v2 if you already had the Air, like me? Personally I'm thinking the latter, as the sad but real truth is that the Phantom "looks" more professional. Would you rather get the Mavic 2 Pro still though? Cheers man, keep up the great work!
Since you already have the portability all covered up, I’d go for the phantom for your work-related shots! The sharpness of the footage is incredible and it really makes a difference in my opinion 👌🏼
@@DroneSupremacy Great, thank you for taking the time and giving me input! That was exactly what I was thinking too. As I'm not in any particular hurry though, I may wait just for a little bit to see if they release something new before too long, but I'm guessing the current world situation is probably not helping. Cheers!
Hi, for the first time using, how long should we charge battery ? (For phantom 4 pro v.20)
Hi there, what would you recommend as an alternative (budget friendly under 100$) for DJI Phantom 4 drone? thanks a lot
Under $100 will be impossible, if you were meaning under $1000, you can ( if you dig hard ) find a low hrs P4P. I found a P4P V2.0 ( 1st edition, not re release ) with just under 15 hrs flight time on it for $1K..with an extra batt and props. New, you wont find one for a thousand though unless you find someone with a new unopened one and hard up for cash or win an ebay auction for that price. With current economic sitch I cant say it would be impossible but even with current economics it'd be difficult because it's still a valuable platform for many commercial droners even as old as the platform is. But with diligence, and if you dont mind doing the footwork your best bet if you want these capabilities is looking for a pre owned model to fit that price range. Anything else that is new and has a 1" sensor on it wont be avail at that price point. Good luck in your search!
Sir price kitna hai
Good and real video. My advice for all mavic2 users, buy smart controler if you didnt already. Once I have tried, no back to regular. Also, now I can use it for my M4pro v2 :)
I really can’t see what the issue is with its large size.. you said yourself smaller drones don’t look as impressive as the bigger ones! But of far more importance is that bigger drones are that much more stable in flight, the weight is actually an advantage. This drone is more aimed at filmmakers and for the filmmaker (Who is used to lugging around camera equipment anyway), a few minutes set up is nothing. Those buying this drone I would’ve thought would mainly be focused on image quality. I’ve got the original P4, quality is obviously not as good as this one, but it’s very very stable in windy conditions.. and I can go from it being packed away to in-flight within just a couple of minutes! Setting up my cinema camera, crane, tripod, gimbal .. takes an awful lot longer! I’m seriously considering this drone.
V2 price Plz tell
Great video ! I’m in a real sticky predicament, I love the Phantom due to its more serious look and COLOR / video graphics. But the Mavic is EXTREMELY portable and the controller is perfect con being the imagery looks brown-ish. When do you think we will be seeing a new DJI drone ?
Now that the phantom 4 Is no longer supported by DJI would you consider buying one?
Not really, it's quite an old tech and you can buy much better drones in 2024
I think a lot of people need to understand that noisy drones is not a con. A material is cutting through the air under force by some sort of an engine or component. This causes vibrations and a bi product of that is noise. You will never get a “quieter Drone”. It’s impossible. You wouldn’t ask for quieter blades on a helicopter.
great video
Във Варна ли е снимано?
Brother thanks for make this awesome video. I learned a lot, and yes I'm with you, the Phantom 4 Pro is bulky and HUGE drone but still have a gorgeous videos and photos quality.
Man let me ask you something, where did you buy the the green indirect light that you has in your studio room? Because I want to buy one.
Great video.
I prefer the p4 image over the mavic. It's wider lens 20mm eq lens looks better for landscape and establishing shots.
thanks for good review!!!
i mean you be asking for much about the noise because they need to be spinning really fast considering how heavy the drone is with all the tech in it so it’s going to generate a lot of noise plus the props are plastic so it’s expected
Very good review!
awesome video! my buddy friend told me he would sale me his phantom 4 pro v2.0 for $700 USD with only 2 flights on it but im hesitant at the moment because i don't know if dji is going to release a newer phantom would you buy or wait?
For $700 that’s a steal! Personally I wouldn’t wait
I’m excited for the new drone next month!!
🧐
Damn that amazing intro ❤️
I love my 2 pro. Point on sticks and controller size. I also have the Yuneec typhoon H+ Hope to have it up this summer very pro looking and very good video. Better than my Mavic.
Glad to see an honest review DJI need to up their game before I spend this kind of cash with what is supposed to be a pro bit of kit.
I agree I fly a phantom 3 standard I have a back pack and all of my cameras and go pro mounts fit in so everything but my phantom and it is a proper pain in the but because it means I have my camera bag and my phantom bag but I am thinking about getting the mavic pro or air when the air 2 comes out
Really enjoyed the intro Mike.
Glad to hear, thank you 🙏🏼
MELHOR DO MUNDO, EXCELENTE DESIGN, PENA NÃO LANÇARAM PHANTOM 5
Mike Mike Mike should purchase the P4V2.0 or wait for possible M3? 🥴🤔
I wouldn’t wait :)
How long will the possible wait be ? I’m in the same boat man
Hey mike you have a video on the best settings for the p4v2.0?
Man I wish dji would release a new phantom!
Hi nice video, put the smart controller on it iam sure it would be brilliant keep up good work rigsby
Great video but I want that sweater or T-shirt where did you get?
It's currently not for sale, I made these myself. I might put them back online soon.
Flight time?
This is a very helpful review - thank you for that. One are that you didn't address (perhaps its not in your work flow) - mapping. I have a Mavic 2 Zoom and was considering adding the Phantom to get into mapping. But, having flown the Mavic and the Autel Evo, which I can easily transport in my backpack, I'm not sure that the trade-off in portability for a revised old style drone design would be a worthwhile investment for me right now. If a good deal comes along, perhaps, but otherwise, you probably just saved me a ton of disappointment.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Nice Video!!!👌
Thanks man!
Thank you for making the video, I subbed & let the adds play through to earn you $$
The tip on the blades acts like a winglet on a fixed with air craft.
They reduce drag, in this case it also increases stability because your flying a second blade behind the others wake.
Like a Chinook Helicopter. Although that air craft doesn’t have rotors that are parallel to each other. They are offset on elevation. I’m not sure about this drones set up.
They would also reduce vortices so in effect yes lower noise level in the frequency range we can hear.
Goooooood video 😁🙂
Honest review man! I'll give you the lack of hyperlapse and that the M2 pro Hasselblad takes better stills (10 bit color vs 8 bit in RAW) but everything else falls in the preference column for me. I dont mind the size, I do comm work so the image factor you mentioned I have def taken advantage of and heard from many clients. I personally have a "props on" case but those are an extra purchase that one has to make and it does increase the transport footprint. Now I'm not knocking Mavs, they are absolutely fabulous drones that have many qualities that a phantom can't even touch and fully admit that, and they are a joy to fly..I just personally prefer P4PV2 for certain reasons that fit my own needs so ultimately you hit the nail on the head 👍 I also personally prefer the more sizable RC and the stick action, but I cut my teeth on phantoms and the finer action on the Phantom controller allows me to get way smoother shots than on a Mav controller, but again that's just preference and what someone is used to. I do think DJI should ultimately reconsider the mid size option because once the V2 is permanently out of production there will be no mid size option for those who need something more substantial but not the size of a small helicopter and costs $7K to start without add ons. If the phantom goes away you'll go from the Mavic to the Inspire size wise lol..So heres hoping they will revisit the decision to eventually eliminate the mid size platform. (And the platform that made DJI a drone juggernaut 😉) With autel increasing the size of the Evo for stability, capability and batt size and skydio trying to make moves in that segment beyond the skydio 2, I think the idea of getting out of that size range may need further thought. Just one guys opinion though 😀 ..Great video man!
I'm speaking only from personal experience, but people who hire me ask to see my portfolio; people who don't hire me ask about my equipment.
Чем отличается любитель от профессионала? Для любителя - на 1 месте удобство использования, а для профессионала - качество картинки. Посмотрите на размер камер кинооператоров) Качество изображения с камеры Mavic 2 Pro заметно хуже.
Do you think DJI will bring out a Phantom 5🤔
no :) i think the phantom lineup is dead.
