Walking a site, shooting points, establishing ground control—these things took days, sometimes weeks depending on the acreage. And for added peace of mind, Litchi creates readable flight logs for each and every flight and automatically uploads them to your Airdata UAV account for instant post-flight analysis. Installing the camera within the drone’s body stabilizes and protects the camera from both vibrations and crashes, which is a consideration for beginning pilots.
This easy navigation allows you to fly in a set direction as you fly alongside moving objects or across scenes. This same system also allows it to hover in position without GPS. Combined with infrared sensors on its left and right sides, the Phantom 4 Pro can avoid obstacles in a total of four directions. The obstacle avoidance and Vision Positioning System were first introduced by DJI on the Matrice 100 in 2015.
We will assist you with your FAA registration filing, make compliant labels and Fight ID card. When you fly a drone in the United States, it is your responsibility to understand and abide by the rules. This repair service is for Phantom 4, Phantom 4 Pro, and Phantom 4 Advanced drones. Also interesting to note that DJI isn’t continuing its two-tiered Professional/Advanced model approach. For now, there’s just one choice of Phantom 4, and you can pre-order starting today.
The alternatives come up short on either the mission planning software side or with insufficient camera control during missions. Three sets of dual vision sensors form a 6-camera navigation system that works constantly to calculate the relative speed and distance between the aircraft and an object. The infrared sensing system has a sensing field of 70 degrees horizontally and 20 degrees vertically. The Pro equipped with infrared sensors on both sides of the aircraft, precisely detecting the distance between the aircraft and obstacles within a range of up to 23 feet .
Forward and rearward obstacle sensing range has been increased, allowing the Phantom 4 Pro to fly at 31 miles per hour with full protection of its stereo vision obstacle sensing system. It makes fast, dramatic video easier and ultimately safer to capture. This Phantom 4 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.
While flying in sports mode you have full satellite and vision positioning support. In effect, the Pro camera is as powerful as most traditional ground cameras. More powerful video processing supports H.264 4k videos at 60 fps or H.265 4k at 30 fps, both with a 100 Mbps bitrate. Advanced sensors and processors ensure everything is captured with more image detail and the image data needed for advanced post production. Due to safety issues, drone flight should be limited to day time usage. However, you’ll probably want to experiment with the odd sunrise/sunset flight like I did, and in these conditions, the small sensor is really pushed to its limits for still photography.
If the price is right, and you do not need OcuSync connectivity, yes, the Phantom 4 Pro is still a great drone. Make no mistake, it is no longer in production and is only getting infrequent updates for critical software patches. The newer Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 usually sells for about the same price, and is still the ‘active’ Phantom unit, so we absolutely recommend the newer drone, if it’s an option for you.
If you have an extra battery, you also may use that as a replacement while the other battery charges. Check that the transmitter is turned on and the drone is powered on, indicated by a green light on the battery. This troubleshooting page will help you diagnose problems with the DJI dji mini 2 fly more combo Advanced.
The Phantom 4 Pro also has many autonomous safety systems such as obstacle detection and smart return to home technology. End of Life – the product and accessories are no longer being produced, new parts will not be available and it will not be supported by future updates.
