The app is also how you set the Phantom 4 up to fly autonomously using DJI’s Intelligent Flight modes. Available in Beginner Mode and Tripod Mode only, the infrared sensing system has a sensing field with a 70° angle horizontally and 20° angle vertically. However, even though we didn’t experience any issues with the app, it’s worth noting that it has a fairly subpar rating on Apple and Android’s app stores.
If any obstacles are found, or there is water on the ground, it will alert the pilot and hover at an appropriate height, helping the aircraft to land more safely. Course Lock is a really great mode which enables you to get terrific fly by shots while remaining focused on a particular area. This helps you with just having to concentrate on the direction the camera is pointed and the speed of the Phantom rather than you having to constantly change the path that the Phantom 4 travels in. This same system also allows it to hover in position without GPS.
In still photo mode, I was able to shoot at 1/80th and still get an adequately sharp image. Now it’s time to look at the relevance of the Phantom 4 for aerial drone photography, or photographers who are keen to shoot high quality stills, perhaps as a value-add to their current photography services. It took a few flights for me to realise that whilst the battery life was limiting, you really need to slow your actions down whilst flying the Phantom 4. Thankfully, the DJI Go app does a great job at showing you an estimate of remaining battery time, both as a percentage and remaining flight time. By now you’ve probably seen the odd DJI Phantom 4 review floating around the Internet. You’ve been wowed by incredible 4k video footage taken from hundreds of feet up in the sky, and you’ve probably been tempted to buy your own Phantom 4 drone.
It enables a full photogrammetric workflow in PPK mode using the customer’s L1/L2 base station. When bundled with TrueView EVO and our recommended add-ons, the P4 RTK provides the highest accuracy method of performing photogrammetric drone surveying with a DJI platform. A new DJI GS RTK app and Remote Controller with a built-in screen, giving users a streamlined control scheme for surveying missions and other data acquisition scenarios. The GS RTK app allows pilots to intelligently control their RTK, with multiple planning modes, including Photogrammetry , Waypoing Flight, Terrain Awareness, and more. Users can also import KML/KMZ files to optimize the workflow for their missions.
Even with all of its sensors and safety features, you never know when you’ll need to take control of the drone in order to avoid an accident. The Pro has a 1-inch image sensor with four times the surface area of the dji fly‘s camera. It captures 4K footage at up to 60fps, and shoots 20MP Raw and JPG photos. It’s also our Editors’ Choice, as the more expensive Pro+ configuration shows that an integrated tablet can have as many drawbacks as advantages. These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both speed and focus for capturing fast action and offer professional-level image quality.
First you need to set up the C1 or C2 buttons to activate Narrow Sensing. When flying in a narrow space, you can activate Narrow Sensing, and drone will adjust its sensing range and flight speed to fly safely. With all the automatic flight modes, together with super stable flight system and a quality 4k camera, the dji mini 2 fly more combo Pro is the best value drone on the market.
Return-to-Home – By pushing the home button on the remote controller, users can command the drone to return to where it originally took off. This is useful for times when you lose track of the drone, but only works with a GPS signal. The Intelligent Flight Battery comes installed on the , and is designed specifically for the quadcopter drone to maximize life and reliability. The battery is a LiPo 4s and has a maximum capacity of 5350 mAh, increasing flight time to almost half an hour (25% longer than the Phantom 3). The lifespan was tested extensively just for this DJI Phantom 4 drone review. As always, we have cropped and compressed the images and video to fit best on your screen, but they are otherwise un-altered.
