Samll things I didn’t like included the rubber battery port cover, which I found too fiddly, and the choice of rubber used for the grip elements, which I can see getting dirty very quickly. There are also 2 customisable buttons on the base of the controller within easy reach. The camera and gimble are obviously more fragile, and require a protective guard to be used when transporting the drone. This is about as close as you can get to the Phantom 4 drone with the objct sensors activated. If you move closer to it, the drone will move away to avoid you.
This edition also features expanded Flight Autonomy with 5-direction obstacle sensing and 4-direction obstacle avoidance. The 6-camera navigation system means the aircraft can avoid obstacles in its flight path, whilst flying at speeds of up to 31 mph (50 km/h). It’s also the very first DJI drone to feature an infrared sensing system. Most notably, the new drone will take the same 1-inch, 20-megapixel sensor that the Pro has.
The drone has a general sense of where you are, but can’t actually see you or the world around it. This dji drones Pro ActiveTrack intelligent mode allows you to mark and track a moving object on your mobile device screen. The Phantom 4 will automatically avoid obstacles in its flight path. 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 camera features a f2.8 aperture and mechanical shutter working together to create more detailed and brighter imagery. The upgraded camera also features a wider 11.6 stops of dynamic range. The upgraded Phantom 4 Pro V2.0’s remote controller features OcuSync video transmission. When the remote is on, the OcuSync system will automatically scan its surroundings for a frequency band that has the lowest interference and will switch accordingly to maintain a strong transmission.
The left stick flies forward, backward, to the left, and to the right.

Phantom 4Advanced is now capable of flying for 30 minutes with a larger battery. The P4A model has the same camera capabilities as the Pro model.
My point is, the OSS is great to have, but for new pilots it could create a false sense of security. I tested just as the Northeast was headed into spring, so I was flying around a lot of trees that were bare from winter. It had no trouble stopping itself before flying into a line of pine trees on an autonomous flight back to me. When navigating around sparse branches stripped clean of leaves, it didn’t immediately recognize them as an obstacle. Had the branches been thick with leaves, it might have stopped in its tracks as it had when I flew near trees in full bloom.
