About the product

Now the Phantom 4 can see and feel, as the developers have equipped it with sensors that will protect the DJI Phantom 4 from collisions during operation. Previously, only the Matrice 100 professional drone could boast of such options in its arsenal, but now they have become available for fans of new technologies in the new DJI Phantom 4.

one system called Guidance, which allows the quadrocopter to easily avoid collisions with any obstacles that may meet in its path, also thanks to this system, now the way home, even if the signal with the drone is lost, will be the safest, because he can use all this arsenal on his own and the pilot will not have to worry about whether he will return safe and sound.

The developers have significantly improved the visual positioning system and now the drone can see up to 15 meters in front of itself and up to 10 meters below itself, without the support of GPS and GLONASS. The second important improvement is the duplication of the compass and IMU sensors. Now the orientation in space is extremely accurate, since the duplicating complex insures each other, which means that an error is completely excluded here.

The Phantom 4 camera has been completely redesigned, the gimbal has been seriously changed, it has become stronger. Its new lens consists of 8 separate lens elements to enhance sharpness and reduce chromatic aberration. As a result, the quadcopter is now able to shoot high-quality dynamic scenes even in low light conditions. Max. the quality of the video is as always on top - 4K at 30 fps, as well as the quality of 12-megapixel photos, the quality of which will surprise even the most serious critics. And to make the processing of such material simple, the Adobe DNG RAW format will come to the rescue.

The Phantom 4's motors have significantly increased their power. They are now set in such a way that the rotors will not get into the frame even when the drone is flying at maximum speed. The speed regulators

Tap on the screen of your gadget where you want to send the drone, the rest of the drone will be performed in program mode thanks to the TapFly function. To make video recording of moving objects, the pilot only needs to activate the ActiveTrack system, which is enough to point to the intended object, after the Phantom 4 will follow it and shoot dizzying shots that will not leave indifferent any viewer.
