Hello fellow P4P fliers

[Steveb6]

Hi from Vancouver, WA located 15 minutes from Portland, Ore. After moving to the Pacific Northwest 4 ½ years ago from NJ I started flying drones. My first was a Hubsan X copter. Loved it. I quickly out grew it. I then purchased a Phantom 3 Standard. Loved it even more than the Hubsan. Only one problem; I kept losing the Phantom in the sky. So, when DJI released the Phantom 4 Obsidian I immediately jumped on it. Problem solved. Plus, the intelligent flight modes are incredible. Since I hate typing this will probably be the longest post I make.

Hello from the opposite side of the country, Florida. Glad to have you on board. Fellow P4P (and others) pilot. Have visited your beautiful area, before drones, and would love to see your aerial views. Enjoy

Welcome from 355 miles south of you in Brookings Oregon. I'm only a P3P owner, but enjoy the scenery in the Pacific Northwest.

Hello! You say that you bought the last phantom (obsidian) because it is black. Probably your first drone was black as well.
That's obvious. To notice the white phantom on a bright sky might be hard. The black one is better visible in such conditions.
But, yes there is always BUT, how you see the black one on a dark background. In my country is a lot of hills and forests so many times if not in most of my flights this is the same. Forests are usually dark and my white phantom is clearly visible in such conditions. Having the black one I would be flying much higher to have the sky behind it.
This was already discussed a few years ago.
