I pre-ordered as well. Gotta have the latest gadgets

Me, too. It's in my blood!

The case is listed on DJI's website though, so it must come with it. DJI doesn't make the best cases though. I bet we'll see the usual suspects come out with some nice third party cases.

Ah, the box does come with it:

I actually may pull the plug on it just for the battery itself. So many guys spent hundreds of dollars and hundreds just for the battery time that's included with the new p4. Plus I have an advanced already, so the 4K would be awesome

Check the "what's included" text description. No mention of a case there.

It's in the video above though. It looks like it's part shipping container.

The case looks to be some type of stryofoam, but if its free, I'll take it

I prefer a backpack type case if I have to hike into an area I want to fly in or take pictures. But, hey free is free. It's only lunch that isn't free.

He's very enthusiastic and eager to test how the new functions work in the real world and will be updating his feed with his testing. He suggested that the flight time was 50% longer than the P3 by his estimation from the specs.

What is GP?

I think he is referring to Guinea Pig.

And, I just ordered a second Phantom 4. I decided to give one away to a member of Phantom Pilots. Stay tuned for that thread

Now you're gonna hear some REAL sob stories.

Haha. I'll figure out a different way to give it away this time -- no sob story required.

The Phantom 4 seems to have more flight time but it seems the main thing is obstacle avoidance. That is important, and can be a drone saver, but is that feature worth a few hundred dollars more? Wasn't the rumour that it would be $700 more? The $700 more guess was what led me to buy the P3P now vs. waiting.

How much for extra batteries?

The retail on the batteries is $169, $20 more than the 3

Check this out from DJI

Just ordered mine also. Now I've got to sell my Phantom 3 Professional. Oh well. Can't wait for the new one.

Will the phantom 4 use the same dji go app ?

Is an extra 5 minutes really that big of a deal?
I'm digging the new Phantom but after collecting 5 batteries for the P3P 'm not looking forward to the extra $676 I have to spend to get the same amount of batteries.
