I am constantly reminded when using the dji drones Pro that it is not as compact and portable flying machine. Not that it is cumbersome at all, you simply need to plan ahead to transport this machine, unlike the Mavic Pro, which I just grab and go without much concern. If you don’t care about format, just looking for a drone that can pump out similar video from the sky, Yuneec has you covered with the Typhoon H Plus. Getting propellers in the shot is more common than I had anticipated. Despite the smoothness to it, I did find that the default calibration for rotation was very fast. I love those pans, but anything more than the slightest pressure on the sticks sends the drone spinning faster than I would have liked.
You can also fly in any direction which is visible on your screen with a simple tap. Then you can tap anywhere on the screen to smoothly adjust the direction of flight while automatically avoiding obstacles and tap the screen again or use control sticks to change direction. The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 can adjust its sensing range and flight speed to fly safely through narrows gaps.
We know a Phantom 5 is coming, and that it will surpass this drone in capabilities, but there are few additions that are actually needed. One of the best and most underrated features of the dji mini 2 fly more combo Pro is the capabilities of the camera. The sensor is good, but the video capture speeds are better. 4K video comes in the form of standard 3840×2160 resolution or Cinematic 4K of 4096×2160, both at up to 30 fps.
If this is your first drone, you should spend some time in the virtual flight simulator before actually flying. Included in the DJI Go smartphone app , the simulator allows you to fly your Phantom through a virtual world. The was the first DJI drone with forward-facing obstacle avoidance sensors, and those same sensors carried over to the svelte Mavic Pro ($1,799.00 at DJI) .
The Phantom FC40, was an upgrade from the Phantom 1 as it included a gimbal-less camera. The aircraft used 5.8 GHz for control allowing 2.4 GHz to be used for wifi FPV. It is equipped with an iOS/Android app control, Wi-Fi and GPS modules. Using a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection, it helps its pilot follow in real time via aerial pictures on a mobile device. However, FPV range was limited by the signal strength of the mobile device as the connection between the two was direct. The mount can also be used to attached a GoPro camera to the unit as well.
The Obstacle Sensing System can be enabled in ActiveTrack, TapFly, Normal mode and all Intelligent Navigation functions. P mode is the standard mode, giving access to normal flight as well as Intelligent Flight Modes, ActiveTrack and TapFly. The dji fly is equipped with an Obstacle Sensing System that constantly scans for obstacles in front of it, allowing it to avoid collisions by going around, over or hovering.
