Phantom 4

A Zenmuse gimbal could be purchased with the Phantom 2, or it could be added later. Its controller also allowed manual remote up/down tilt of the camera. The aircraft includes the Visual Positioning System module seen on the Professional/Advanced models. The DJI RTK, released in October 2018, was designed for extremely accurate aerial mapping using real-time kinematic positioning. In addition to RTK, it uses a redundant GNSS module, installed to maintain flight stability in signal-poor regions such as dense cities. A little movement on the stick literally goes a long way, though.

With this locking mechanism, propellers can withstand drastic changes of motor speed, allowing the aircraft to be more agile and more responsive to the pilot command. Phantom 4 has problems hovering or displays uncontrolled behavior in flight. Maintain a direct line of sight with the drone’s receiver and satellites by avoiding buildings, vehicles, or trees. Avoid flying the drone in harsh weather, as this can weaken the signal and cause potential damage to the drone. The gimbal connected to the camera of the drone may be loose, disabling the drone from holding position. If you notice a loose gimbal screw, tighten it to secure the gimbal and prevent vibrations.

The infrared sensing system is only available in Beginner mode and Tripod mode. The phantom 4 Pro is equipped with an environment sensing system based on stereo vision and infrared sensors. It is able to detect obstacles 98 feet in front, allowing it to plan its flight path to avoid them or simply hover in the event of an emergency. When ready for a photo, the subject holds their arms out to signal the aircraft.

DJI offers many of the best flying features for the Phantom 4 Pro. There are follow modes and other self-piloting features, but they do not include the Quickshot features you’ll find on the Spark. There are two variants of this drone, the Phantom 4 Pro and Phantom 4 Pro+. The Plus model includes a built-in display on the remote control, otherwise, they are the same machine. I’m not sure how in-depth I need to go here, I suspect you’ve seen this drone before. The Phantom 4 Pro is a quadcopter with a rigid design and tall landing gear.

Although the DJI GO app will indicate when there are obstacles present, pilots should always be paying attention to the aircraft during flight. If you have tried the above solutions but the problem persists, you may have a firmware issue. To do this, connect your drone to a PC and open the program “DJI Assistant 2”. When the update is complete, reboot your drone and recalibrate your IMU. If you have tried all the solutions above, you may have a firmware issue. After completing the mission, retrieve your images using the preferred method , and upload them to Site Scan Manager for ArcGIS for processing.

With its flagship Sony RX1R II 42 MP payload, WingtraOne can achieve more than twice the image resolution as the RTK. Higher image resolution equals better map quality, which defines the quality of the entire project. The Phantom 4 Pro drone uses a brand new camera lens optimized for aerial imaging, with an aperture range from F2.8 to F11 and a 24mm equivalent focal length. It’s equipped with a mechanical shutter and adjustable aperture range, with auto focus support.
