Phantom line seems to be killed, DJI doesn't care, so welcome to unstable drones in the future. I still can't understand why did they kill their best drone series a grandpa could fly?


The Phantom was just in a weird space. Too large and expensive for casual flight photography. Not up to snuff of the capabilities of what a pro needs in the Inspire.

I’ve met plenty of photographers who go out on a casual shoot with just the Mavic Pro. The Mavic can be thrown in a photo bag. The Phantom is it’s own bag.


It was in a perfect space for me and for many people. It was still the best-selling drone, despite competition offering smaller drones. Inspire is not easy to fly by a grandpa.
