In today’s episode, we explore new drones and discuss maintaining and using older, reliable ones like the Phantom 4P. The question comes from Scott, who has been in the drone business since 2017 and uses the Phantom 4P as his main drone and the Mavic Pro as his backup. Scott wants to know if he should use another drone as his main drone and which drone is best when he is looking to update his drone.
Thanks for the question, Scott. Today’s question is one we’ve been asked and heard about often: which drone to use and how to use your budget effectively to always have the best gear. We’ll discuss our answer to Scott’s question by discussing how pilots should look at drones and their applications in today’s drone market. Manufacturers today are increasingly building drones for specific applications, and keeping this aspect in mind will help pilots better understand their drones and purchase the right equipment for their needs.
We then discuss whether the Phantom is still relevant today, and this will help pilots understand whether they can still buy a Phantom, where they can use it, and where the Phantom fits best into their various offerings. We are confident that the Phantom is probably the best in the industry, and we discuss how pilots can explore other drones if they don’t have a Phantom. We also cover remote drone use and how this is a new project that drone pilots are working on.
Finally, we discuss how pilots can succeed by better understanding customer needs and meeting customer expectations, and why problem solving and customer success efforts are effective strategies for success in the drone industry.
