Dji Phantom 4 Pro Review

4K video comes in the form of standard 3840×2160 resolution or Cinematic 4K of 4096×2160, both at up to 30 fps. The Phantom 1, originally known as Phantom, was released in January 2013. It was commonly equipped with a GoPro camera for dji mini 2 fly more combo amateur filmmaking or photography. It includes features, as the other models do, such as Point of Interest, Follow Me, GPS Waypoints, Course Lock and Home Lock. The remote for Professional and Advanced models also has 2 antennas.

You can remove the propellers to ease transport, but there is no folding features on this one. DJI has released an update to this great drone, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is updated in mostly the same way that the Mavic Pro Platinum improves over the original Mavic Pro. To be specific, new propellers and updated ESCs create more efficient and quieter flight.

At any point during the flight, you can return to the RTK menu to view more details about the X, Y, and Z RMS Errors, as shown in the following image. This portrait prime looks to offer decent image quality considering the price point, but as it stands the lens isn’t available to purchase outside of China. High resolution, weather-sealed bodies and wide dynamic range are all important.

Phantom 4 Pro has a mechanical shutter – should make still images better. I find it far more likely the cops jammed the control channel causing failure than software auto-crippled the product due to GPS location. DJI drones in no-fly zones don’t fall, they land or return to home.

If desired, view additional base station information including the number of GPS and GLONASS satellites, location, and altitude. If there is an authentication error, navigate back to the base station settings and confirm your credentials. This indicates that the base station is successfully connected and is actively sending correction signals dji fly to the drone. If using D-RTK 2 mobile station, select D-RTK 2 and skip to step 11. If you are using the P4RTK for the first time, open the DJI GS Pro app to ensure RTK is enabled on the drone. When connecting to a base station using NTRIP, the iPad must be connected to the internet for the duration of each flight to maintain RTK connection.

It took a few flights for me to realise that whilst the battery life was limiting, you really need to slow your actions down whilst flying the Phantom 4. Thankfully, the DJI Go app does a great job at showing you an estimate of remaining battery time, both as a percentage and remaining flight time. By now you’ve probably seen the odd DJI Phantom 4 review floating around the Internet. You’ve been wowed by incredible 4k video footage taken from hundreds of feet up in the sky, and you’ve probably been tempted to buy your own Phantom 4 drone.

When all versions of the Phantom 4 series were sold out, some for over half a year at the time, the company made an unfortunate announcement. ‘Due to a shortage of parts from a supplier, DJI is unable to manufacture more Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 drones until further notice. By performing lab calibrations on all DJI cameras and bundling DJI hardware with our EVO post-processing LIDAR software, we optimize these low-cost systems to be high performance mapping platforms. Increase operational efficiency by gaining fundamental insights captured by the Phantom 4 RTK.

These can be shut off, but, you know, they’re there for a reason. DJI’s Go mobile app for iOS and Android devices is used not only for getting a view from the drone’s camera, but adjusting settings and seeing all your important flight data and battery status. Connect your device to the controller via a USB cable, open the app and voila, it’s all at your fingertips.
