Hello from the Detroit area! I have been flying a Phantom Pro 4 for more than two years, but last week it was whacked by an unexpected bus in downtown Detroit as I was bringing it in. R.I.P., dear Phantom. The battery separated and exploded in flames apart from the body, so I was able to save the photos I shot seconds before. (See example attached)

I was lucky to find an almost-new Mavic Pro 2 yesterday thanks to a post in the Phantom forum, so I am looking forward to seeing what it can do compared to my old bird.
I am Part 107 licensed and shoot regularly for Crain's Detroit Business. All stills, almost no videos, but that may evolve.
Photo attached is the last shot taken by my Phantom.
