As I stare up at the faint spec that is Canada Movies | Adult Movies Onlinemy drone, I'm pretty sure I'm breaking the law. At least I'm not alone.
[Author's Note: At no time was I actuallybreaking the law. DJI had licensed drone instructors with us at all times and made sure the drones stayed well below legal altitude limits.]
On a brisk February afternoon, DJI and partner B+H invites journalists, seasoned drone pilots and newbies onto the deck of the historic Bathhouse Studios in Manhattan to fly DJI's new Phantom 4 Pro drone.
SEE ALSO: GoPro's Karma drone is back on sale after design flaw made them fall out of the skyThis update to the popular and quite good Phantom 4 drone that I tested last year adds back and side sensors so you don't fly into trees and a powerful 20 MP, 4K camera. It costs $1,499.
There’s no time for classes today. DJI guides usher groups of six anxious flyers onto the Bathhouse’s spacious outdoor deck to fly.

The DJI instructor hands me a large white remote fitted with an iPhone 6. They didn't bring the new remote that integrates anti-glare viewfinders, GPS and an SD-card slot. Shame.
Launching the drone hasn’t changed. I just push the two joysticks in toward each other and then pull down until the quadcopter’s four rotors start. Next, I push the left joystick straight forward to send the Phantom 4 Pro racing into the sky.

This relatively squat Neo-Italian Renaissance-style building is surrounded by taller east-side buildings. At least we’re not in mid-town where 18 stories are a relative minimum.

My DJI guide encourages me to send the drone even higher (FAA rules state we can’t fly these drones any higher than 400 feet). At roughly 200 feet, the screen and DJI Go App, which has a ton of information on it, reports some turbulence, and I worry about whether I should start to bring the drone down. But it’s not flying out of my control and the built-in gimbal is keeping the camera and image feed that I see on the iPhone screen steady.
Speaking of that image, the quality delivered by the 20 MP camera is stunning. It’s crisp, clear, colorful and has zero distortion, even at the edges.

I shift the left joystick to the side to turn the Phantom 4 Pro around and get a spectacular, sweeping view of midtown Manhattan. I briefly consider trying to fly it to the rooftop of my own office a few blocks over so I can steal it. Then the DJI guide taps my shoulder and tells me it’s time to land.
The drone has drifted just a tad during my short flight, so I need to center it over the clear space on the deck. I pull back on the left stick to send it quickly toward the ground. As I do, the DJI guide asks me to center it, almost over my head. I’ve flown drones before, so I adjust a bit more so it’s away from me, then position it a few feet in front of me, turn the drone around one more time so the camera is facing me and then land gently.
There’s a brief round of applause from the crowd that’s either congratulating me on my smooth flight or simply glad that I’m finally done.
It was a good first flight with DJI’s latest pro-sumer drone, and I can’t wait to fly it some more for a full review. But please don't tell anyone that I flew a drone in mid-town Manhattan.
