We’ve chosen cameras that can take great photos and make it easy to get great looking video, rather than being the ones you’d choose as a committed videographer. I bought a carefully used P4 Pro+ not too long ago and it’s good to know that it’s available new again, should mine ever fail. I prefer it for phantom 4 its steadiness, high image quality, and 24 mm wide angle. A wonderful aerial companion for landscape photography including video. The first P4P I got had a totally dead battery out of the box. B&H replaced the whole unit and then I owned 4 batteries for video/photo work as a real estate photographer.

The same photography principles still apply in the air as they do on the ground, and an aerial platform does not make a great photographer.

Instead, they say accuracy depends on lighting, patterns, aircraft altitude and software used to process the imagery.

All cameras go through a rigorous calibration process where radial and tangential lens distortions are measured. The distortion parameters gathered are saved into each image’s metadata, letting post-processing software adjust uniquely for every user. The Phantom 4, released in March 2016, introduces a safer and better quick release propeller system. It also improves usability by adding obstacle avoidance and an ability to track subjects , thanks to its five sensors. Some of its features include GPS, GLONASS, sonar, five separate safety sensors, a camera gimbal, gyroscope, and more. It is slightly bigger and heavier than the Phantom 3 due to a larger battery, but it still maintains a longer flight time and greater top speed.

The 1-inch sensor size has proven to be a very capable format in compact cameras like the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III ($1,799.00 at DJI) . However, on the flip side, the large drone makes it easy to hand-catch the aircraft during landing procedures. And the larger remote controller makes the drone easier to fly for people with larger hands or even with gloves on. The controller is easy to grab and buttons are easy to find and press. The dji mini 2 fly more combo, as mentioned, has a 1/2.3-inch camera sensor, the newer drones in the Phantom line come with a full 1-inch sensor.
