Decent drone
Rating: 5
I have played a few times inside and outside of my home. The control is easy, even with little windy weather. Download pictures and videos to phone is easy. I do love it!

Very Good
Rating: 5
Fun little drone, very easy to fly. I also have a DJI phantom and the Mini is much easier to get ready to fly and fly. There was a light breeze one time I was flying it did very well, but have not flown it on a windy day.

Good but not what you would expect.
Rating: 3
Just bought today and have used it twice from a full charge. It is extremely easy to use and has plenty of wonderful features. However, the flight time is 18 minutes before the alarm starts to go off demanding you return it to home and the video cuts out at like 65 meters. Massive exaggerations in advertising.

18 minutes flight time/overpriced
Rating: 1
i have owned several DJI drones, been flying drones since they hit the market. I was disappointed in this one, longest flight time was 18 minutes on one battery. Some of the footage i took was very poor quality while some was ok. It is in my opinion overpriced for what it is. If it was 200 or 250 that would be more reasonable.

very bad

I do not recommend it, it takes a long time to send it and when I checked it to fly it was damaged and then Walmart and the seller give no solution and you lose your money

Love this Phantom 4
Rating: 5
Pros: From take off to landing my 10 yr old can fly this drone. Just starting to learn to fly drones this is the way to go, it takes off on your command goes 3 feet up and stabilizes itsself, then you can take control while phantom keeps you on course. It doesnt get any easier, I love this drone, and once I get better at flying it I can take full control myself without drones assistance. I have full control of camera, I can track and follow anything I want, I followed my grand daughter with a tap on my phone, its great thx Buydig.com for excellent service, and speedy delivery. Cons: I wish the batteries had a fast charger lol 28 mins dont seem like alot of time so better buy 2nd battery or 3rd hahaha

Impressive
Rating: 5
Pros: Foam is cut well overall especially around the Tx Sturdy Plenty of room for extra batteries Definitely holds quad with props on Cons: Doesn't close 100% square, but not bad Locks are junk Foam cutout for quad could be a bit tighter Other thoughts: For the price, this is a nice case that I feel comfortable carrying the P3 Pro in. I think it would withstand a decent drop without causing damage.

Best consumer drone ever.
Rating: 5
Phantom 4 Pro is really really amazing drone. Video quality is brilliant. Controller is smooth and easy to use. Battery life is good enough but could be better. There is nothing to complain about the drone. Problem is USA FAA law. Basically you can't fly any drone in anywhere that worth to capture. What's the point of having a drone if you can't capture Yosemite. Or Grand Canyon or any other national park. I'm gonna go to NZ. You can fly everywhere other than airport. But here in America,you can't fly no matter what license you have. That's really sad. There must be some rules and laws for sure. To protect everyone, keep everyone safe etc. But this planet earth is a wonderful place. You just want to capture beauty of it. But, no, you can't. What's the point if having one ? #sweepstakes

Great drone and camera
Rating: 5
Pros: This is a great deal on the phantom 4 and accessories. I have taken several great photographs and awesome video from the drone. This is one of the best purchases I've made. Cons: The advertised distance has proven impossible to achieve in stock condition. I bought some aftermarket range extenders for the antenna's which helped greatly.

Phantom 4 pro plus
Rating: 5
Pros: Shoots great photos and videos. The obstacle avoidance works great. The DJI view screen is fantastic, can see well in bright sunlight, so much better than my iPad. Cons: You do need filters for videos. The backpack did not fit the P4pro, was made for the P4, had to modify to fit the gimbal. The 64Gb sd card never came, instead they substituted two 32Gb cards. Other thoughts: If buying filters the polar pro filters are 1mm too thick, the gimbal support bracket for shipping does not fit. I found another filter that does fit

Great product and great service

Very pleased with the DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus. Have already taken some professional shots with it. One photo shoot was a very windy day but the results were still perfect. It has some amazing technology both for the camera and for the copter. #sweepstakes

I WILL be a repeat customer!
Rating: 5
Great package for a great price! The case was backordered so they let me select a different case, everything showed up quickly and safely. There was 1 small item left out of the bundle and the conpany was quick to resolve the issue! Very good company to deal with!
by Jamie on 2019-05-11T17:00:00

FYI - The case does not work with the Phantom 4 Pro+.
Rating: 3
The case is fine. Well constructed and of good quality. The problem, and it's obviously not clear to Beach Camera, this case does not work with a Phantom 4 Pro+. The controller with the built in screen will not fit inside the foam cut-outs. Find another case if you own the Pro+.

don't think you're getting what's in the picture!!
Rating: 2
Pros: Phantom 4 Unit is awesome. Admittedly, we have only flown it once. The unit was in great condition w/original protected case. Cons: Received a black backpack style case for a Phantom 3. DOES NOT FIT PHANTOM 4. This is NOT what is pictured in the photo! Do not bother ordering this as a bundle - THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE. They will give me $50 credit but I have to pay to ship the case they sent me (the wrong one) back to them. Evidently they do no have ANY case for a Phantom 4!!! Dishonest marketing, terrible customer service. Other thoughts: You can get this same unit with batteries and no case for the same price at your local electronics store - no shipping worries, no return worries, you get what is advertised. Much less hassle than dealing with this company.

Quite worried we have been dooped
Rating: 1
If there was 0 stars, we would mark it zero We have been having nothing but problems. First of all, our card was compromised after paying for the item Second, we have had concerns, we can't reach the company to address them Thirdly, phone numbers on the website are incorrect Lastly, no responses come from our online submission Buyers Beware!
