I love my P4P. My succession of Phantoms has been Phantom Vision 2 (flyaway, never found, after which I started putting my phone number on my drones), Phantom FC40, another Phantom Vision 2, Phantom Vision 2 Plus (crashed and lost while on its way home, found and returned to me by a hunter 9 months afterwards, but it's got more damage than is worth repairing), Phantom 3 Standard, Phantom 3 Professional, Phantom 4 Professional.
I also have an orange Autel Robotics X-Star Premium... for when I want to deal with something reliable instead of something that, at the drop of a hat, might develop some issue that will take hours, days or weeks to resolve.
It's a nice bird. They stole from DJI but improved upon the design in several ways. I hear that Autel's support service is great, but I've never needed it. I've had the X-Star for about a year and half. To me, it's roughly equivalent to a P3 Standard, but with a 4K camera, cooler color, nice hard case, and it's solid, whereas the P3 Standard is more prone to health problems.
