Introducing color to a polymer is not a easy task if you wish to maintain it's initial properties. Here is an article that may interest some of you. Understanding the ‘Science’ of Color Here is a quote of this article "However, as colorant levels rise the chances are greater that impact performance will decline. Often the focus of those developing a new color is strictly on aesthetics. But in some cases achieving a desired color match can involve adding relatively large amounts of color to the base resin, shifting the properties considerably. "

Maybe DJI got rid of the stress crack with this move, though.

Hah, we can only hope it helps. We'll know a year from now.

I like the color option. The dark gray makes it easier to see in the daylight, and it looks more professional IMO.

I like better the new mavic... It's $100 dollars more expensive.

"While DJI hasn't revealed a new Phantom series model for professional aerial photography, it has announced a new Phantom 4 Pro color: obsidian. The new matte-gray drone has a magnesium shell with anti-fingerprint coating, as you can see below. "
From Engadget.

Finally DJI addresses the biggest issue P4P owners have with their drone... fingerprints!

Choice thanks for that,,i think it might be,,,bein a phantom fan i like that,,

I read $2000 for the Obsidian on WetalkUAV.

Makes you look like an expert... more like a ******* who paid $600 more for another color! Assuming that price tag is correct, of course.

You're right!

The P5, or Mavic Pro 2 with 1 inch sensor, is probably here before the year is over. They always do this to get rid of stock... Hmmm

Agreed, at this point I'd wait for next gen craft announcement to see if it's worth considering. And if there's nothing compelling about P5, then wait for the P4P to decrease in price with the P5 release. I would assume the P5 will at least have:

1. Ocu-Sync (for DJI Goggle compatibility)
2. Sinusoidal ESCs (better efficiency for longer flight) like the new Mavic
3. Quiter props, like the new Mavic
4. Slightly more battery capacity, 99Wh instead of 89.2 Wh. The battery will be under 100W to be compliant with unlimited airline travel, like the Inspire2 batteries.
