Phantom 4 Pro

For professionals, the Phantom 4 now offers a more robust suite of technologies than the high end Inspire 1, and can even match it for speed. While in Autotrack, you could also initiate an orbit simply by holding the stick to the left or right. This is a tricky maneuver, even for an experienced pilot, and it can lead to terrific footage. I found it worked really well when the subject was standing still.

An added layer of confusion for many would-be drone enthusiasts is where you can fly your drone legally. Each country has its own set of rules which seem to be in a state of constant evolution, with authorities figuring out just how to handle this accessible new technology. I also appreciated the fact that the most important features in the Go app are also accessible via the controller’s hardware buttons.

And it provides you with a range of almost 5 miles, meaning that you will run into the legal restrictions from the FAA before you will be limited by the drone. The DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 delivers when it comes to providing a stable aerial platform. No other off-the-shelf, affordable drone delivers the way the Phantom does. That’s where PPP post-processing does its magic to achieve high accuracy autonomously, globally, with no base station. The data from the P4Pro/KlauPPK achieves PPP accuracies of 2.5 to 4cm XYZ.

They pay shipping for service, however any major service will cost more than a new drone, so DO NOT CRASH. The manufacturer does not allow us to advertise this product’s price online. Buy just the Phantom 4 or packages with such accessories as extra batteries, car charger, battery charging hub, soft or hardshell backpacks, spare propellers and a tablet hood for better viewing. The Phantom 4A is now capable of detecting obstacles up to 30m from the P4A. The DJI Phantom 4 Advanced will follow the route while keeping its altitude constant. The draw can be activated while the pilot is paying attention to the camera focus, direction, and camera’s orientation.

DJI’s flagship consumer drones come with two contrasting remote control systems. The Phantom 4’s is bulky – as big as the Mavic itself – and not especially ergonomic. The Mavic Pro comes with a much smaller and easier-to-use controller .

Some basics are true here, the DJI Phantom 4 is an important step in the progression of modern quadcopters. We still think that the Phantom 3 is the drone that ushered in the market shift from niche product to must-have camera tool, but the Phantom 4 is certainly the superior model of the two. The built-in stabilized imaging system collects comprehensive sets of data right out of the box. If you’ll be continuously shooting without enough downtime to copy over the memory card, you will likely want additional microSD memory cards.

However, the legs are still fixed to the body, so while the body overall is more compact, you’re still not slipping this easily into an average backpack. dji fly Making most of these new features possible required a redesign. DJI streamlined the body and gimbal design, putting more of it inside the body.

When we delve into power and battery life, again there are blurred lines between the and the Mavic Pro. However, in ‘Sport’ mode, the Phantom 4 can reach 44mph, 4mph more than the Mavic Pro. The Phantom 4 is a bit bulkier, so we’d expect to be able to deal with slightly higher wind speeds that the Mavic Pro. For a better look at image quality, you might want to check out the video below. It’s from photographer Michael Shainblum, who also got his hands on a Mavic Pro.

The onboard camera features a 1-inch 20MP CMOS sensor and a mechanical shutter, eliminating rolling shutter distortion. An advanced sensor and impressive processing capture every detail and provide the image data needed for advanced post-production. Offering a valuable performance increase over the best of the Phantom 3 line, the dji drones was the logical update to the Phantom drone line. A capable quadcopter with an easy to use controller, a rich set of autonomous flight features and a camera that defined aerial video for a time.
