The F.A.Q. for Dji Phantom Quadcopter Batteries Accessories (P43B1SDAMC)

I really love my drone alot, flys great too. Took me awhile to learn how to fly, a month or so, and was afraid. Of crashing it, but after flying it awhile, that fear of flying and crashing goes away, for it has alot of safety features so that. You dont crash and all. Flys really well, and takes really good pictures and videos as well. I just wish the batterys would last. Longer then 23-25 minutes, but having 3 batterys thank god, works out great. Much a happy customer here. ! . . Rich kelly

Best dji phantom quadcopter batteries accessories (p43b1sdamc) in review

Great bundle, great shipping. The product was perfect and exactly as expected. A couple of hours in the air so far and flawless at that. It's worth mentioning that there is a foam insert behind the camera gimble, that i totally missed, but it needs to come out before you use the drone. I'm using mine with an ipad mini 3, and the holder for that works perfectly. Since i fly professionally, the 3 batteries is a must ! (zero problems with the batteries as well. )

Just got the drone. Took it out to the empty lot behind my house and did a test flight. I have had 5 or less hours operating a drone (a friend's phantom 3) prior to this and i must say the active tracking is very nice. The active tracking function made it so easy to do a 360 shot of anything. The phantom 4 does it for you! all i did was set the subject for it to track and then pushed the right/left toggle and the drone just flew around my subject maintaining the same distance and height from my subject. This package deal was the best i could find online. The lanyard and extra batteries are really nice to have. All the equipment here fits in the case without a problem, but when i get a fourth battery i will need a new case because there isn't any more room left in the case. Fyi you will eventually need a different case because the one that comes with it is styrofoam. The styrofoam is about as durable a styrofoam i have ever seen, but alas it is still styrofoam. It will at least give me enough time to let my bank account recover before i need a new case and another battery. Having not had much experience myself i would say this is an easy drone to fly.

Everything came in just like it was meant to. Unfortunantly i've had this product for just a few months and already having problems updating it. Working with dji on it hopefully it will be solved

Z. Neva, Redcar and Cleveland says

Simply amazing. I have had more fun with this drone than i can ever express. This drone is amazing. The camera quality is amazing. Have not had a single issue after 20hrs of flight and counting.

B. Paige, Yukon Territory

This is my first drone. I watched tons of video on it before even receiving it. I recommend this, because most of the complaints i see in the reviews i feel are due to misunderstanding some of the systems and calibration needs. Package arrived a day early! everything shipped / packed well. Charged everything, updated firmware, calibrated systems, then went flying! only part of package i did not like and would not buy again was the prop guards. They seemed to need too much force to install and i did not want to go through that much trouble to remove. I ended up leaving them off. I may work with them later, but for now i'm flying in open areas and i hand catch to land, so not seeing current issue with leaving them off. Only other issue is now i need to update my home computer to edit all that video! good problem to have in my mind! go for it, buy this package and have some fun!

Q. Paula, Nordrhein-Westfalen says

What a wonderful machine. very happy!

T. Mathis, Derby

This product is amazing. You have all the support to learn how to flight it. Good quality product. Very satisfied. Before get the drone i thought 28 minutes flying wasn't enough but when you are flying it seems you are flying it for a long time

Y. Aldana, Quebec says

I did a lot of research. This is the best package for all you need for the p4! after buying this, i found very little that i had to buy to be completely outfitted. Dji rocks and the phantom is revolutionary. With this bundle you cannot go wrong.

 this history of aerial photography dates back to the mid-1800s, when french photographer, gaspard-felix tournachon, nadar, took photos from a hot air balloon over paris, france in 1858. Not long after that in 1860, photos were taken from 630 meters above boston. At the dawn of world war i, aerial photography became a vital way to gain intelligence about warfare practices of opponents. Back then, capturing photos and video was expensive and not done as a common place practice. And, in the 100 years since those early photos were taken, we, as a society have made some wonderful innovations in the world of aerial photography. One of those big innovations is the use of radio-controlled model aircraft, more commonly known as drones. . Drones have been used for quite some time in the field of combat and within recent years have been developed on the consumer side of technology for personal, professional, and recreational uses. They are in a special category of aerial technology called unmanned aircraft and they have a wide variety of uses. I personally have used many of the budget-friendly consumer-grade drones. These range in price from $25 up to over $100. They are affordable and fun to play with a few times, but they really don t hold up well over multiple uses. . The professional-grade drones are designed for practical uses like land surveys and basic aerial photography. The shots you get using the professional drones like the phantom 4 from dji are the ones that you would have had to rent a helicopter for just a few years ago. These drones make it possible for more people capture more footage from above the action. I wasn t completely sure how much a professional drone would differ from a consumer-grade, budget drone, but from the second i opened the phantom 4 s case, i knew that it was lightyears ahead of anything i ve flown before. . Dji specializes in the professional-grade drones. Since 2006, they have been creating and innovating technologies to make it possible for the dreamers to dream bigger. In their words dji technology does more than simply enable creators. We push visionaries to go beyond the limits of what is thought possible, inspiring them to inspire the world. In the few weeks that i was able to work with the phantom 4, i can tell you that i certainly felt that inspiration and pushed myself to limits i didn t think possible. . How is it different. I ve already eluded to the fact that the phantom 4 (p4) is different from other drones i ve tested. Now, i d like to get a bit more specific about why. First of all, it s big. Well, it s bigger than the consumer models i ve seen. The p4 is about the size of a house cat. It weighs a little over 3 pounds, which i found to be very lightweight, and helpful since i carried it around quite a bit to capture footage in different locations. When you open the box you will find, the aircraft body, remote controller, battery pack, propellers, charger, manuals, and some various other accessories. The p4 comes with a carrying case that i believe is made from some sort of molded styrofoam. It s very durable and lightweight. There are some wonderful third-party options for carrying cases that work as backpacks for practical transport of the drone. . The p4 is durable. Some of the budget drones i ve tested are extremely fragile and after one landing (not even a crash just a standard landing), pieces fall off it, or propellers break leaving the device completely unusable. The p4 is tough and can handle a few bumps along the way. Plus, it can be repaired. This might seem like an odd comment, but the budget drones aren t worth the time and effort to spend repairing them when they break because you didn t spend much on them to begin with. The p4 is worth the investment from start to finish. If you are looking for a drone to play with, then a budget one is fine, but if you are wanting one for video coverage, invest in the p4. You will save yourself a lot of headaches. . The ins and outs. As i mentioned, the p4 weighs a little over 3 pounds. It s built from very high-quality materials and is designed to go above and beyond any surface you send it to. The p4 is fast. It will travel up to 45 miles per hour when in flight with a maximum ascent speed of 13 mph. It will drop at a rate of approximately 9 mph. It will also go the distance and can travel almost 4 miles away from its point of origin. The p4 is a quadcopter so it has the ability to hover and when it does, the video quality makes it seem as though it is completely stationary. It will operate in temperatures between 32º to 104º f, which is really nice because it gives you the flexibility to fly in many different situations. . The camera is a high-performance camera that will shoot 4k resolution at 30fps. It also has the ability to shoot at full hd (1080p) at 120fps for slow motion footage. The camera system is quite advanced and has an integrated 3-axis gimbal that removes unwanted vibration and movement in-flight. This makes it seem as though the camera is stationary or moving on a pole rather than constantly moving. The camera has at 12mp lens and can capture still photos as well as video. . P4: the smart aircraft. The phantom 4 was designed to be smart and provide its pilot with a lot of extra help when they are flying. That way he or she can concentrate on what they are recording rather than where they are going. One of those smart features is the obstacle sensing system. This system provides you with some additional help when flying near other objects. The p4 will not run into objects that it can t see through. Its sensory range is between 2 49 feet. While testing the p4 out, i did fly it in our downtown area that has a lot of buildings. I even directed it down the main street area that has a narrow street and it did a beautiful job of avoiding obstacles. . One thing i did discover was that the tree is the p4 s natural enemy. The obstacle sensing system does a great job, but if the p4 can see light through an object, it thinks that it can continue flying. This means that trees become a natural boundary that it can t avoid. The light patterns that the sensors pick up are enough for the p4 to try and fly through it. The problem with this is that while the blade speed is strong enough cut through some leaves, the drone itself will get tangled in the branches. While i was testing, the p4 ran into some heavy foliage on a tree and i had to retrieve it. I say this so that maybe the next person who is testing out a p4 will have the knowledge that trees should be avoided altogether. . I do believe that my favorite smart feature on the p4 is the home button. When the p4 takes off, you can set its point of origin based on gps coordinates. The drone remembers it and when you are done capturing the video you want, you can tap the home button and the p4 will automatically fly back to the poi spot and land on its own. This is a wonderful feature as it takes the guess work out of the landing, which is not something i m very comfortable doing. . In addition to the home button, the p4 also has tapfly and activetrack options. Tapfly is a revolutionary flying method that allows the pilot to tap an image on your live view screen (on your connected smart device) and send it flying in that direction. This works alongside the obstacle sensing system. Activetrack is another autopilot function of the p4. The drone will recognize a subject and follow them naturally to keep them in frame. There is no tracking device on the subject needed it just follows you. This is actually the feature i was testing when the p4 collided with the tree. I was trying to avoid a puddle and didn t notice that i was directly under a large oak tree. The p4 was trying to track my movements and thought it could fly through the tree. Needless to say, the tracking feature did work well. I really like both these features because it gives you the freedom to have advanced flights and capture some amazing video without having to be a master of the controller joysticks. . Another smart feature that is incorporated into the p4 is its battery system. The drone has a full flight time of about 28 minutes with a full battery. One of my concerns, after seeing what kind of distance it could cover, was that i might lose it because it would run out of power. My fears were assuaged after i learned about the battery system. It is programmed to detect how much battery life it needs to return to its point of origin. So, if it flies 4 miles away and notices that it only has enough power left to make the return flight, you will receive a warning on your controlling device. This tells you that you should call it back rather than keep flying. I did run into this after using on a day trip. I was flying it in a small town call metropolis, illinois, and when it reached their river front, i received the warning. I had been flying it quite a bit that day so i knew that it wasn t a glitch. I immediately hit the return button and it came back to me with little battery life to spare. . Dji and facebook have also partnered recently to bring live streaming to the phantom 4. You can stream your live footage directly to your facebook feed if you wish. This just adds another level of depth to the features available on the p4. I personally did not try this feature, but it s a nice option to have if you are giving a tour or showing a property. . My p4 adventures. I was fortunate to be able to test out the phantom 4 from dji for several weeks. They sent me a test unit with no restrictions as to where i could shoot or the subject matter. It was a very liberating experience to be able to have complete creative freedom for this test. That being said, i chose three main places to test the p4 a field near my house, our downtown area, and a state park about an hour away. I felt that with these three differing locales, that i could get some interesting footage and really be able to show how the p4 shines no matter what the location. . When i shot near my home, i was really just getting the feel of the drone and its main features. I tested out the speed and distance ratings and found them to be very accurate. Since i was in a populated area with lots of houses, i didn t want to intrude on anyone s privacy, so i kept the video footage to a minimum on that test. I will say that i believe the p4 would make an excellent option for realtors because it s so easy to show off an area like a neighborhood to clients. . The second test area our downtown has a lot of large buildings and a very busy riverfront. The main road directly next to the river always has a lot of traffic and the river has a lot of personal boaters and barges traveling through. I figured this would be an excellent testing ground for the obstacle sensors and for hovering. As it turns out, on the day i went there, there were a lot of people visiting a fountain area and out and about on the main street. The p4 hovered above them with ease and some of the people even waved at it. When i flew it over the river, there, again, the drone successfully hovered over an area and i was very impressed with how easily it handled a body of water. This area also proved to be a great test for the poi autopilot function. As there were a couple of times that the drone was actually out of eyesight. When i tapped the home button, it stopped where it was, hovered for a moment or two and then buzzed back to the poi. Once it arrived, the p4 hovered another moment until it was sure it was at the correct location and then it dropped slowly to the ground making a perfect landing. . This area also proved to be a great test for the poi autopilot function. As there were a couple of times that the drone was actually out of eyesight. When i tapped the home button, it stopped where it was, hovered for a moment or two and then buzzed back to the poi. Once it arrived, the p4 hovered another moment until it was sure it was at the correct location and then it dropped slowly to the ground making a perfect landing. . The last proving ground i tried was the state park. As it turns out, we visited the area over memorial day weekend, which proved to be one of their busiest days of the year. There were hundreds of people there and i was a bit nervous about trying to lift off where there were a lot of people hanging around. Eventually, i found a wonderful, quiet place to take off from and flew it for about 10 minutes. This was also a challenging area because i mainly had to fly manually rather than use the autopilot function. This state park is a heavily forested area with some amazing rock faces, which is why i wanted footage of it. But, because the tree is the p4 s natural enemy, i couldn t rely on the sensors to navigate for me. Flying manually, was an experience on its own, but it was actually quite easier that the budget drones are. They are clumsy and unsophisticated, while the p4 flies smoothly and drifts seamlessly through the air. The controls were accurate and i didn t have any issues getting it back to where i was. . Conclusions. I had a lot of fun testing out the phantom 4. Before flying it, i can honestly say i wasn t that impressed with drones. But, the truth is, before the phantom 4, i had only ever used the consumer-grade ones. They made flying unfriendly and more hassle than it was worth. With the p4, i was actually able to enjoy myself and had a lot of fun creating instead of trying to repair broken aircraft. It takes amazing video and is a joy to fly. Even though i ve compared the p4 to budget-level drones, there really is no comparison. If you are looking for something to play with, spend $100 a get a toy. If you are looking for a great flying experience and professional-level video production, get a phantom 4. . "this product was received at a free or discounted price in exchange for my review.

Transaction went smoothly and it arrived shortly ahead of schedule. Quadcopter itself operates fine. It does not have the range it says it is supposed to? at least here where we are flying it? i'm sure that topography is to be an issue but even the littlest of trees or buildings seem to inhibit it's range. Overall i believe it to be a good product for the money.
