After much research and debate I purchased the Autel X Star Premium instead of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro, and here is why. For the price the Autel X Star Premium is unbeatable! At $799.00 for the Drone, 1 battery, an extremely durable hard carry case with an amazing cutout inside, the controller, an Autel remote lanyard, two complete sets of props, a 64G MicroSD Card with reader, and most importantly a 4K camera and fully functional App (StarLink), it is a steal. Now I will not pretend that the X Star is a replacement for the Phantom 4/Advanced or the Phantom 4 Pro. I will however contest that for the price ($1499.00) the features you get from the DJI brand don't justify the cost in my eyes. If you are a hardcore DJI Fan you are bound to disagree and rightfully so as the Phantom is an amazing machine. However, you must also concede that Autel is bringing its A Game with the X Star Premium. Below are three pics using the x Star Premiums camera straight out of the box and in different light settings.
Why choose an X Star Premium?![]()
The X-Star’s camera is ready to fly out of the box, so that any pilot can capture stunning aerial imagery. The camera is custom built with the highest quality optical glass to deliver crisp, rich color every time. Beautiful color profiles and custom camera settings create a unique experience for every environment.

Every X-Star Premium arrives in a splash-proof, zippered carrying case with a shock-absorbent foam interior and additional space to keep up to six batteries, your manuals, charger, extra props, remote, and even your devices.

The X-Star Premium intelligent battery allows up to 25 minutes of flight time per battery and has built-in technology to ensure longevity.
Out of the box, the X-Star Premium has two customizable battery failsafes. Preset to 25% battery, the low battery failsafe will return the X-Star Premium to its home point. The critical low battery failsafe, preset to 10% power remaining, will automatically land the X-Star Premium at its current location.
