DJI Phantom 4

Though it’s not perfect, it worked better than GPS for keeping her in the center of the shot. 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.

4.Does the Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian come with similar looking matte grey accessories? Yes, there is a broad range of matte grey accessories for the P4P Obsidian including propellers, prop guards, batteries, and UV/ND filters. Tap the Stop button on the left of the screen to exit ActiveTrack. At this point you may choose to start a new mission or bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Giving a top speed of 44.7mph , Sport mode can be used for fun, letting you fly faster than ever, or to get to your shoot location while the light is perfect.

The resulting footage is captivating and provides a unique view not often seen . Do you have a Super35 lens you want to use on a full-frame camera? Then you’re in luck, as that’s precisely what the DZOFilm Marlin 1.6x Expander promises to accomplish. 60 versus 30FPS for Mavic, and Mavic 2 pro seems to not use all rows of the sensor – 4k video is a tad soft compared to Phantom 4 pro.

can fly up to 44.7mph in Sport Mode while in ATTI Mode it can fly up to 35.8mph. Phantom 4 will use GPS/Glonass and its Vision Positioning System to achieve precision while hovering. In ATTI Mode, GPS and Vision Positioning System will not function to aid the aircraft in terms of hovering or navigation. The horizontal speed of the Phantom 4 in ATTI mode is 35.8mph (57.6kph).

There’s no better way to take aerial photos and videos than with drones. If you’ve been bitten by the drone bug and are looking to buy one, then take a close look at the affordable DJI Phantom 4 Pro drones. They’ve got exciting features, and you can find them for sale on eBay. The flight package is convenient, providing the battery and all the necessary cables and connectors for a successful flight.

The internal hardware—dual inertial measurement units , along with satellite stabilization that utilizes both GPS and GLONASS—are the same as you get with the Phantom 4. Indoor flight, without the aid of GPS, utilizes the downward-facing Vision Positioning System sensors. They examine the ground below the drone and keep it steady, though they are ineffective when flying over reflective surfaces.

Whatever the original camera sees so will the Survey3W camera. Aerial 4K video shot from a P4P is hard to separate from 4K video shot from more expensive drones. The 3-axis gimbal stabilizes it, and the 60fps rate lets you edit for slow motion. Video output is improved at 100mbps, up from 60 on older models of the .

For visualization purposes, you can think of a rubber sheet and a glass sheet. The model created by the phantom 4 Pro is a lot like a rubber sheet, and the ground control are like tent stakes that tie the model down in the corners and the center. By contrast, the model created by the Phantom 4 RTK is more akin to a glass sheet with holes where the control points are, and that glass sheet must be positioned correctly so that the control lines up. As mentioned above, the Phantom 4 RTK offers much more precision than the Phantom 4 Pro and thus requires less ground control to anchor and correct the model.

I’d definitely advise purchasing one of these hoods which fix onto the controller and provide some shade over the iPad’s screen. One thing’s for sure – no matter what the quality of the image from a drone, you’re always going to get a photo from an angle most other photographers can’t replicate. The picture below was taken right above the sea, 20 metres out from the beach, whilst the DJI Phantom 4 was hovering about 3 metres above the water. There are also 2 customisable buttons on the base of the controller within easy reach. Before we start delving into the usage of the DJI Phantom 4 drone for photographers, let’s start with what it’s like to actually fly it.
