I always wanted to try my hand at flying a drone and capturing beautiful aerial footage of my surroundings, and a two-week trip to Hawai'i seemed like the perfect opportunity. The drone of choice: The $1,200 DJI Phantom 4. As a flying machine, it isn't that much different to other drones — it goes up, down, sideways, forwards, and backwards, and a single battery lasts about 25 minutes, which is unfortunately typical for commercial drones. YouTube/DJI What sets the Phantom 4 apart is its incredibly sharp 4K camera. Indeed, Hawaii's unreal beauty and landscapes made for the perfect location to test a drone and its camera. Here's a 4K YouTube video of Hawaii taken with the DJI Phantom 4 (not by me): Youtube Embed:http://www.youtube.com/embed/OFHf8OlzjcIWidth: 800pxHeight: 450px My first few flights were relatively limited, as I gingerly got used to the controls and the Phantom 4's abilities.
