The DJI Phantom has, officially, reached the end of its life according to DJI. That might not be news to drone enthusiasts like me, but as one of the best camera drones of all time – and an icon which has been replicated across popular culture – it's still a massive moment.
Sure, technology has moved on. There are more portable and more powerful craft that weigh less, like the Air 3S, or cheaper drones with sophisticated AI that can follow you with 4K cameras and don't even need a controller (DJI Flip, HoverAir X1 ProMax), but the Phantom was the first all-in-one drone with a camera from DJI, the company which went on to dominate the industry.
