The difference between the dji mini 2 fly more combo Pro and the Phantom 4 Pro+ is the inclusion of a 5.5-inch built-in display on the remote of the Pro+. It’s a good looking, Android powered display, but it’s the only difference between the two machines. When you think about drones, it’s possible that the first image that comes to mind is the iconic design of the DJI Phantom line. DJI knows it, continually iterating their Phantom drones to be some of the best high-end consumer class quadcopters on the market. That trend continued in the fall of 2016, launching the Phantom 4 Pro and Phantom 4 Pro+ alongside the Inspire 2. DJI has released an update to this great drone, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is updated in mostly the same way that the Mavic Pro Platinum improves over the original Mavic Pro.
The Phantom 4 cruises towards it, adjusting slightly to avoid the obstacle. As the controller design is the same as the Phantom 3’s the camera can still be tilted up and down by the left-hand scroll wheel on the handset. Panning is, of course, controlled by rotating the craft in flight. Other settings, including frame rates and resolutions, can be changed through the apps interface, and it’s easy enough to quickly switch between stills and video.
It is not super powerful, or super fast, but it’s more than enough to get out of control if you’re not careful. The camera is on a 3-axis gimbal and packs 4K recording in a 1-inch CMOS sensor at 20 MP. 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. You can remove the propellers to ease transport, but there is no folding features on this one.
Upgrades over the original Phantom include auto-return, increased flight speed, increased flight time and controllable range, increased battery capacity, and smart phone or tablet connection capability. It later became compatible with a ground station and iOS or Android devices. It was the first DJI aircraft to be released with the “Intelligent Li-Po battery” which enabled flight times of almost 20 minutes. It also featured a “Range Extender” device on the controller which worked as a relay/amplifier for the wifi FPV signal between the aircraft and the controller, thereby increasing signal strength and range. An uprated camera is equipped with a 1-inch 20-megapixel sensor capable of shooting 4K/60fps video, and Burst Mode stills at 14 fps.
Credit card customers with non-USA billing addresses will be charged in full at the time of purchase. The DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus Version 2 is one of the top drones on the market right now. This is a definite buy for anyone interested in quadcopter, and for its current price, the DJI Phantom 4 has all the bells and whistles to make it a memorable experience. TapFly – Using a mobile device again, you can tap the area that you want the Phantom to go to, and it will go there. The most impressive features of the Phantom 4 drone are Active Track, TapFly, Sport Mode, Point-of-Interest, Way Points, and Return-to-Home.
In the “Beginner Mode, the cannot fly 100 feet higher and beyond the recorded home point. It also prevents camera tilt controls to allow new pilots to familiarize themselves with flying before adding more distance and camera control. The Phantom 4 is set to beginner mode by default which is great news.
The landing gear adds to the size of the drone and the Remote Controller is bulky as well. If you’re looking for the ideal travel drone, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is not it. Intelligent Flight Modes on the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 make many things easier for sure. For instance, the drone offers you ActiveTrack, TapFly, Draw Mode, and Gesture Mode. These are all nice but the most important Intelligent Flight Mode, I think is the Return to Home mode. At any point in time, you can easily and quickly hit this button on the Remote Controller to bring the drone back home safely and quickly.
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. For your flights in countries like the United States and Canada, your operations dictate your need for licensing. That’s the Part 107 certification from the FAA in the United States. If the price is right, and you do not need OcuSync connectivity, yes, the dji mini 2 fly more combo Pro is still a great drone.
