Dji Phantom 4 Review

A real-time view of its environment and 3D map provide crucial data. Redundant IMUs and compasses monitor critical data and rule out possible errors, dramatically enhancing the reliability of flight. Obstacle sensing in five directions improves safety and overall flight experience. Offering a valuable performance increase over the best of the Phantom 3 line, the Phantom 4 was the logical update to the Phantom drone line. A capable quadcopter with an easy to use controller, a rich set of autonomous flight features and a camera that defined aerial video for a time. The Phantom 4 is certainly a great machine, made even better by a fair price.

Whilst the RAW files do have their limits, this shouldn’t be a major concern if you plan your flights at the right time of day, and rely on good natural light or the in-built exposure bracketing feature. I know in my home town in Orlando I wouldn’t be able to fly a drone over the top of people on the beach, but in Sydney, the laws seem to be a bit more vague at the time of writing. Whilst no-fly zones are tightly regulated, I found that in Australia at least, areas for recreational drone flying were rather vague, with the laws constantly changing. Lightroom’s Map feature uses GPS data from the dji mini 2 fly more combo to show exactly where your photos were taken. I particularly liked the ability within the software to trim your video clip to a more mobile friendly size, ready to email to friends.

We call it the Part 107, it’s not too hard to get, but it will take some time to learn all the rules. We want to help you learn the rules and get your commercial license, check out our drone pilot training material. Depending on the type of terrain, the visual positioning system may or may not work. Refer to page 29 of the User Manual to find proper terrain conditions at DJI’s website. When flying over water, be sure to toggle the VPS off in the control app. The Panasonic GH6 is the latest in the company’s line of video-focused Micro Four Thirds cameras.

Photos will be captured as JPEG in the same resolution as the video recording. The Federal Aviation Administration requires every DJI Phantom operator to register before flying. Aircraft weighing over .55 lbs must have a compliant label for identification and carry a Certificate of Registration .

In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best. A new DJI GS RTK app and Remote Controller with a built-in screen, giving users a streamlined control scheme for surveying missions and other data acquisition scenarios. The GS RTK app allows pilots to intelligently control their RTK, with multiple planning modes, including Photogrammetry , Waypoing Flight, Terrain Awareness, and more.

The camera GPS cables will be shortened specifically for use on the Phantom 4 drone. Simply choose the number of cameras you want, the models of the cameras, and the micro SD memory capacity to complete your package. If used properly it produces up to 1cm resolution which in turn enables results that meet the requirements of any professional land surveying project. The first feature we have to talk about is the obstacle avoidance. In addition to optical image stabilization on the camera, some drones also protect the gimbal, which is the camera platform, from vibrations. Other drones carry the camera within a compartment inside the drone.
