Introduction

DJI Innovations has introduced its first foldable quadcopter in response to market demands.

Camera

The camera uses the same sensor (1 / 2.3 ″) as the Phantom 4. It shoots video in resolution from 4k @ 30fps to 1080p @ 96fps, and shoots 12MP in DNG format. The angle of view compared to the Phantom 4 camera is now 16 degrees less (94 ° to 78 °). But the lens aperture has increased, Phantom 4 - f / 2.8, Mavic Pro - f / 2.2, which is good news for those who like to shoot in the dark.

There is also a transparent protective cover for the camera, but it has a bad effect on the quality of shooting.
