Right on. Much of the series has been discontinued, but that's not unusual for any line of DJI drones.This is the page for the Phantom 1, yeah the one from 2014... and that notice is mentioning that particular product ("The Phantom 1 is no longer in production ") is discontinued (no really?), not the whole series
Total BS... This is the page for the Phantom 1, yeah the one from 2013... and all that notice is mentioning is that this particular product ("The Phantom 1 is no longer in production ") is discontinued (no really?), not the whole series...
I personally doubt that the Phantom series has seen its demise. It is incredibly popular and CAPABLE. It's a workhorse and iconic. In my opinion it would be a mistake for DJI to end that.
Out of all my drones, my P4P is still my favorite and the one I fly most. There's a time and place for each model, but the P4P checks off so many of the right boxes.
The Phantom 4 Advanced and Phantom 4 Pro V2 are still in production, but neither have been available in the DJI Store for some time now.
I guess for us die-hards it's not as much "trading in" as much as "adding to the fleet". LOL
I think the Phantom gets a bad rap though on portability. It's not like you need a tractor trailer to haul it around. I can take the P4P anywhere I need to go. Sure it's not as portable as a Spark, Mavic Air, or Mavic, but it's not humongous either.
The Phantom 4 PRO is no longer in production...but as this quote indicates... that doesn't mean it applies to the P4P advanced or V2.

It's ok GravesSM... everybody makes mistakes, baptism of the forum. Don't let some people rain on your parade. Crap happens to everyone, even those with "TONS" of experience.DJI discontinues Phantom series! It’s on their website! They strongly point customers to the more capable Mavic Pro series!

But the fact that they are "out of stock" on DJIs website means that they are either backordered, or????
The Phantom still has its place, it could accomodate that mini interchangeable lens camera many want but is out of the Mavic's league.
Whether they'll make use of that opportunity or not is another question.
At best they make something of the appropriate size but with a completely new design.
If it wasn't for the Phantom Series, I honestly believe the M2P would have a better camera. I strongly suspect DJI knocked a peg down, in order to keep the Phantom Series relevant for longer. Just my personal opinion.
There has also been rumors of a Phantom 5 coming out... but those are pretty old...would be a big surprised if they were able to keep it under wraps.
Very interesting - I'm actually leaning towards a Phantom 5, to be released soon. It doesn't make sense for DJI to support and keep manufacturing multiple models of the same drone. Indeed they stopped producing the Mavic Pro shortly before releasing the Mavic 2 twins - so I think that's a clue. Edit: I might be wrong about the Mavic Pro because it is still listed on the DJI site.
As for the low stock levels of the P3/P4 - that might be DJI preparing to discontinue those models as well but obviously not before the P5 is released.
I also believe that @Kilrah is correct - I could not see anything to suggest, after going to the webpage link posted by the OP, that all of the Phantom products have been discontinued - at least not at this point in time. Only the Phantom 1 has been axed.
The other clue could the pop-up page that appears when you go to that link posted by the OP. It doesn't recommend the P3 or P4 - only the Mavics.
