In reply to Alisha. Lightroom is the best way, if you do a search on the site, I have some tutorials that cover that

Could you please help me, what is the best way to take a photo from a video taken with the DJI Phantom 4 Pro, do you have a preferred app or program to use, is there an easy way to do this?

Hi Colin, yours is by far the best review I’ve found since the Pro was released.

Do you have any side by side photos from the phantom 4 vs the 4 Pro? I think you had both up flying, but that would be really useful to see

Many thanks

Hi Colin,

Thanks for all the info you share! I’m a landscape photographer and have been thinking for a little while now that it could be cool to get a drone and start trying to sell aerial prints in addition to my existing work. I knew it wouldn’t be at the resolution of my DSLR but figured I could easily make prints up to 11×17 or 16×24 without too much trouble. So, the Mavic looked like the perfect drone. Small enough to almost throw into my landscape bag by the looks of it and enough features that someone like me who hasn’t ever owned a drone before could figure it out pretty quickly.

Anyways, I just heard about the Phantom 4 Pro. And, now I am wondering if I should spend the extra 400-500 and get that instead. Obviously it has the better camera of the two. But, it also means a much greater commitment as parts like extra batteries are almost twice as expensive. And, from what I’ve read, it’s a beast to travel with since it doesn’t fold down.

I guess my question is this: How good would you say the RAW files are out of the mavic? Can it make an 11×17 or 16×24 print pretty easily without looking awful? Is the Phantom 4 Pro ridiculously better? Any thoughts would be awesome. By the way, I really don’t have any plans to do anything with video on the drone at this point. Don’t know if that would sway which one you’d recommend or not. Just still photography. I’m new to this whole drone thing. Quality is important, but I also want to not be buying into something that’s way more than what I need.

Thanks! (Sorry for the long comment)

Hi Colin, fantastic review! Waiting for your next part on You Tube.

Would you recommend your DJI Phantom 3 and Inspire 1 Drones Handbook for a photographer getting into aerial drone photography, or will you be coming out with an update in the near future? I’m about to purchase the Phantom 4 Pro.

Cheers,

Jim
