The real-time geotagging, plus corrections from a base station on the ground, means unprecedented reliable data accuracy for your drone surveys. Now, surveyors can weigh what’s collected in the sky against what’s collected on the ground to form a single source of locational truth. As with the 3 Professional, the 4 features the ground-facing positioning cameras that help to stabilise the flight of the drone. These cameras are now joined by two front-facing sensors that are able to detect objects in the drone’s flight path.

Aerotas has developed a workflow that enables surveyors to lock the relative accuracies in photogrammetry processing and shift the entire project to match a single ground control point. This ensures full-site accuracy without the need for manual PPK processing or ground control distributed throughout the entire site. Fewer ground control points translate to significant time savings in the field. A simple small-size landfill was chosen for testing purposes to recreate the conditions we think Phantom 4 is most suitable for.

BATTERIES and BATTERY CHARGER1.Are the phantom 4 Pro batteries and battery charger compatible with the Phantom 4? PROPULSION SYSTEM1.Can use Phantom 4 propellers on the Phantom 4 Pro? 2.What, if any, are the main differences between the Phantom 4 Pro and Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian? However, the P4P Obsidian comes in an all-new matte black casing.

We still think that the Phantom 3 is the drone that ushered in the market shift from niche product to must-have camera tool, but the Phantom 4 is certainly the superior model of the two. How much has the flight time been extended compared to the Phantom 4? It flies for two additional minutes compared to the Phantom 4. When flying in a complex environment, activate Narrow Sensing and the aircraft will adjust its sensing range and flying speed to fly through narrows gaps. REMOTE CONTROLLER1.Are the Phantom 4 and Phantom 4 Pro remote controllers compatible with each other? 7.What is the effective range of the Obstacle Sensing System on Phantom 4?

Home Lock adjusts controls based on the position of the aircraft relative to the remote control. When it’s turned on, pulling the right stick toward you will always bring the drone back in closer, and pushing it up will always fly away from you, regardless of the position of the nose. The drone has automated and semi-automated flight modes as well, controlled via the app, but you should be comfortable with manual control before using them.

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. Using the Phantom for image capture is extremely straightforward, with direct controls available on the handset and in the app. It’s advisable to never let the battery drop below 25% charge, and from fully dji fly charged I found that I could get minutes of flight before falling to that level, compared with minutes with the Phantom 3. On both the handset and app there are RTH buttons that can be pushed to automatically bring the drone back to the take-off point. Another button on the controller, the pause button, is used to stop the drone and make it hover, which can be very handy, especially if you lose depth perception and/or orientation.

In short, I wanted to know whether the DJI Phantom 4 quadcopter could be a tool for professional photography.
