With drones from Autel, the Parrot Anafi, and others, you can adjust a lot of camera settings in their flight apps — but those settings don’t transfer over to their mission planning counterparts. Using Gesture Mode, selfies can be captured easily using a few gestures without the remote controller. Advanced computer vision technology allows the Phantom 4 Pro to take instructions through gestures.
The general rule is that when shooting video is that the shutter speed should always remain at 2 times the frame rate. So if you’re shooting at 30fps at 4k on the Phantom 4 your shutter speed should remain as close to 60 as possible. The ND filters allow you to fix the shutter speed at 60, allow for buttery smooth cinematic footage.
The inclusion of RAW format for a sensor of this size and quality doesn’t appear to mean much with the Phantom 4. You are still very limited as to what you can achieve with the files in post, and even without any editing, the dynamic range of the image is certainly lacking. It’s worth remembering at this point that we are talking about images coming from a tiny camera housed beneath a quadcopter which is capable of hovering hundreds of metres above the ground.
You also need to enable “Multiple Flight Mode” in the DJI Go app. While flying in sports mode you have full satellite and vision positioning support. Several flight modes make flying and creating with the dji drones Pro V2.0 a streamlined and convenient experience. Switching between flight modes grants pilots the control they need, whether they seek smoothness, simplicity, or speed. Intuitive controls and a maximum speed of 45 mph simplify complex shots. In addition to beautiful landscapes, aerial imaging allows new perspectives on everything from serene vistas to a motor race.
In 2013, DJI introduced the world to the Phantom, a durable quadcopter that brought an air of professionalism to a largely recreational market. Around this time, individuals outside of the aerial photography community began exploring use cases for the objectivity and visibility a bird’s-eye view presents. Sometimes when I asked it to navigate through a stand of trees with a few feet of clearance on either side, it refused. TapFly also declined to work when you were too low, for example right after an automatic takeoff. That meant I had to touch the sticks a little before switching over to rely totally on the screen of my mobile device.
Like other Vietnam War Phantoms, the F-4Ds were urgently fitted with radar warning receivers to detect the Soviet-built S-75 Dvina SAMs. The lack of an internal gun “was the biggest mistake on the F-4”, Chesire said; “Bullets are cheap and tend to go where you aim them. I needed a gun, and I really wished I had one”. Marine Corps general John R. Dailey recalled that “everyone in RF-4s wished they had a gun on the aircraft”.
It’s been less than a year since the release of the Phantom 3 Professional, but drone technology is advancing rapidly, and now DJI has introduced the . It’s a refinement of the Phantom 3 Professional, with a beefed-up design, improved intelligent flight options, and a new and very clever object-avoidance system. There are tweaks to the camera’s performance, but the major upgrades are the robust design, improved materials, and clever flight aids using new sensors.
Phantom 4 supports writing GPS coordinates to EXIF data of every individual image on the fly. It means no manual geotagging is needed when importing images to 3Dsurvey for processing. Further quality control was achieved by placing GCPs and establishing independent validation points. A simple small-size landfill was chosen for testing purposes to recreate the conditions we think Phantom 4 is most suitable for. With a flight time of 28 minutes it is not meant to be used on large-scale projects but proves ideal for small and mid-size land surveying tasks .
