The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is Back!
The Return of the King of Prosumer Drones
I was excited to see that, as of January 6, 2020, DJI brought back the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. I was convinced that I got one of the last ones -maybe even the last one - when I bought mine a little over a year ago from B&H. I checked their site right after I ordered it, and it said they were out of stock. And that status continued until it changed to “discontinued” later in the year. Not only did the Phantom 4 Pro appear to be history, it looked like the entire Phantom line might be discontinued since DJI has been very quiet about the possibility of a Phantom 5. This was a bit disturbing since I’d just bought a piece of expensive tech that was no longer available. Parts would be more difficult to find in the event that had any maintenance needs, or worse yet, crashed my drone (which did happen). And third parties would not be likely to continue developing accessories.
But all those fears were laid to rest when the announcement of the Phantom’s return hit the internet. Well, sort of... I don’t know how long the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 will last. First of all it is an older model having come out in May 2018. And the version 1 of the Phantom 4 Pro came out in November 2016... that’s a long time ago in tech years. In the meantime, folding drones like the Mavic series seem to have dominated the consumer drone market. That having been said, I for one, really like the Phantom’s position in the lineup. It represents the crossover from consumer to pro drones in a way that is easy to identify both in price range and physical appearance. Not only that, the introduction of the Phantom line had a huge impact on the drone market. It’s a modern classic.
