The default settings start the controller beeping starting at 30 percent battery and then lands you automatically at 10 percent. These can be shut off, but, you know, they’re there for a reason. DJI’s Go mobile app for iOS and Android devices is used not only for getting a view from the drone’s camera, but adjusting settings and seeing all your important flight data and battery status. Connect your device to the controller via a USB cable, open the app and voila, it’s all at your fingertips. 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 FC40, was an upgrade from the Phantom 1 as it included a gimbal-less camera. The aircraft used 5.8 GHz for control allowing 2.4 GHz to be used for wifi FPV. It is equipped with an iOS/Android app control, Wi-Fi and GPS modules. Using a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection, it helps its pilot follow in real time via aerial pictures on a mobile device. However, FPV range was limited by the signal strength of the mobile device as the connection between the two was direct. The mount can also be used to attached a GoPro camera to the unit as well.
The Obstacle Sensing System can be enabled in ActiveTrack, TapFly, Normal mode and all Intelligent Navigation functions. P mode is the standard mode, giving access to normal flight as well as Intelligent Flight Modes, ActiveTrack and TapFly. The dji drones is equipped with an Obstacle Sensing System that constantly scans for obstacles in front of it, allowing it to avoid collisions by going around, over or hovering.
If this is your first drone, you should spend some time in the virtual flight simulator before actually flying. Included in the DJI Go smartphone app , the simulator allows you to fly your Phantom through a virtual world. The dji mini 2 fly more combo was the first DJI drone with forward-facing obstacle avoidance sensors, and those same sensors carried over to the svelte Mavic Pro ($1,799.00 at DJI) .
I am constantly reminded when using the Phantom 4 Pro that it is not as compact and portable flying machine. Not that it is cumbersome at all, you simply need to plan ahead to transport this machine, unlike the Mavic Pro, which I just grab and go without much concern. If you don’t care about format, just looking for a drone that can pump out similar video from the sky, Yuneec has you covered with the Typhoon H Plus. Getting propellers in the shot is more common than I had anticipated. Despite the smoothness to it, I did find that the default calibration for rotation was very fast. I love those pans, but anything more than the slightest pressure on the sticks sends the drone spinning faster than I would have liked.
You can also fly in any direction which is visible on your screen with a simple tap. Then you can tap anywhere on the screen to smoothly adjust the direction of flight while automatically avoiding obstacles and tap the screen again or use control sticks to change direction. The dji fly Pro V2.0 can adjust its sensing range and flight speed to fly safely through narrows gaps.
The DJI Pro V2.0 offers you OcuSync 2.0 HD transmission that will give you a stable and reliable connection. It will also allow you to fly the drone safely in almost all kind of environments if you know what you are doing . And it provides you with a range of almost 5 miles, meaning that you will run into the legal restrictions from the FAA before you will be limited by the drone. The DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 delivers when it comes to providing a stable aerial platform. No other off-the-shelf, affordable drone delivers the way the Phantom does.
