That’s unfortunate, as it is a very useful resource when flying. Likewise, the remote that ships with the Pro is essentially the same that comes with the standard . Active Track – Using a mobile device, you can draw a square around an object, and the drone will track it if it starts moving. The drone does this without any additional transmitters or hardware, just camera recognition. It allows your DJI drone to carry a variety of maximum weight payloads that can be precisely transported and then released & dropped above a specific target area.
Their feature to change out cameras w/o buying a whole new drone is very attractive. The Fox Broadcasting Company used Phantom 2 Vision+’s to promote 24 during San Diego Comic-Con International 2014. Remote Controller with and USB in for tablets and smartphones to connect to the controller.
The Pro manages a top speed of about 30mph in its GPS-assisted flight mode, with forward and rear obstacle avoidance in full effect. When flying in this mode, you won’t see the rotors in your video, even if the camera is pointed straight forward. The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 will allow anybody to start as a beginner drone enthusiast and graduate as a professional drone operator. Due in part to these design changes and a new battery, DJI was able to squeeze more flight time out of the Phantom 4 at up to 28 minutes. I was unable to reach that mark, but I was regularly flying in a fair amount of wind. I averaged between 22 to 25 minutes if I ignored the constant low battery warnings.
Its remote controller is also equipped with HDMI port, Micro SD slot, microphone, loudspeaker and Wi-Fi connectivity. If you’re fortunate, everything will go smoothly and you’ll be flying right away. When we first turned on the remote controller, it made phantom 4 a loud beeping tone non-stop.

In the “Beginner Mode, the dji fly cannot fly 100 feet higher and beyond the recorded home point. It also prevents camera tilt controls to allow new pilots to familiarize themselves with flying before adding more distance and camera control. The Phantom 4 is set to beginner mode by default which is great news. Both drones have a transmission distance of up to 4.3 mi , and users can switch between 2.4 and 5.8 GHz control frequencies to improve signal stability and cut through interference. It can also detect the ground to see whether there is suitable spot for landing.
The Phantom 4 Pro features 5 directions of obstacle avoidance along with all the intelligent autonomous flight modes below. DJI have sales on throughout the year and you can view the latest prices on the below link. Due to safety issues, drone flight should be limited to day time usage. However, you’ll probably want to experiment with the odd sunrise/sunset flight like I did, and in these conditions, the small sensor is really pushed to its limits for still photography. At press time the Phantom 4 is selling for about $300 less than the Pro, and remains a superb option for videographers who are happy with the excellent video quality it delivers. If you have the budget, though, and you’re serious about aerial videography, the Pro’s extra cost is justified.
