How DJIs Phantom 4 RTK Delivers Reliable and Accurate Site Surveys

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 phantom 4. 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.

I had them labeled and one was the battery shipped with the drone and the other was bought at Best Buy. Granted, my Mavic Air and Mavic 2 Pro haven’t given me any problems at all other than the fact they don’t hold charge very well. The Phantom 1, originally known as Phantom, was released in January 2013. It was commonly equipped with a GoPro camera for amateur filmmaking or photography. The Phantom 2 Vision+, released in July 2014, added a three-axis stabilizer. It included the same FC200 camera as the earlier released Phantom 2 Vision, but in a completely different enclosure.

As a result, non-RTK projects can have entire quadrants with unverifiable data. With a non-RTK drone, like the Phantom 4 Pro, ground control quantity and distribution is critical. On the other hand, the Phantom 4 RTK can get you 0.1’ vertical accuracy with a single ground control point because of the onboard GNSS module and the DJI base station. The Phantom 4 Pro drone uses a brand new camera lens optimized for aerial imaging, with an aperture range from F2.8 to F11 and a 24mm equivalent focal length. It’s equipped with a mechanical shutter and adjustable aperture range, with auto focus support.

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.

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 phantom 4 24 during San Diego Comic-Con International 2014. Remote Controller with and USB in for tablets and smartphones to connect to the controller.
