The Phantom 4’s remote control and live feed is based on DJI Lightbridge technology, providing effective control range of up to 3.1mi in unobstructed areas that are free from interference. Its HD live feed gives you an exact view of your flight, perfect for composing shots. Another change involves an updated 3-axis gimbal that cradles the camera on both sides, replacing the single-sided cradle of the Phantom 3. Whether this enhances the stability of video footage or still photographs remains to be seen. It isn’t evident in footage I captured, though admittedly it would be hard to dramatically improve the already silky smooth stabilization the Phantom 3 is known for. Increase operational efficiency by gaining fundamental insights captured by the Phantom 4 RTK.
You can do all of those things with the Phantom 3 models, but new for the phantom 4 is ActiveTrack, which uses the OSS to follow a subject. You just draw a box on screen around what you want to track, tap the Go button that appears and the drone starts following, keeping the camera centered on whoever or whatever you selected. FIRMWARE UPGRADE1.During upgrading, if the level of flight battery or controller battery drops below 50%, will the upgrading process fail? Always use a battery with more than 50% power when upgrading. 11.Does the Phantom 4 Pro + remote controller support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity? 9.Is the remote controller’s screen display’s brightness adjusted automatically or manually?
It’s not quite as good as Micro Four Thirds, another format used by drones like the huge Yuneec H920 ($1,799.00 at DJI) and the DJI Inspire 2 ($1,799.00 at DJI) , but it’s also quite compact. First, you get tried-and-true options, including Point of Interest, Waypoint, Follow, Course Lock, and Home Lock. Point of Interest flies perfectly circular orbits about a point in space, keeping the camera honed at the center the entire time.
There are a few new advancements with the dji fly Pro V2 and we will highlight these throughout this post. I’ll be doing some overseas travel later this year, and I know I’ll kick myself if I don’t have a drone to explore a little and view my location from overhead. Thanks to the compactness of the Phantom drones, including one in my check-in luggage would be quite feasible. I know in my home town in Orlando I wouldn’t be able to fly a drone over the top of people on the beach, but in Sydney, the laws seem to be a bit more vague at the time of writing. Whilst no-fly zones are tightly regulated, I found that in Australia at least, areas for recreational drone flying were rather vague, with the laws constantly changing.
The aircraft will choose the best flight path to return home and senses as far as 300m to avoid obstacles more effectively. If the control signal is lost, the dji fly Pro will retrace its original path to regain its connection after 1-minute. When it reconnects, it will return to home following a straight route.
