This gives the Pro a longer flight time of up to approximately 30 minutes. The new Phantom 4 Pro V2 is equipped with the OcuSync 2.0 transmission system, which allows the drone to connect to DJI Goggles wirelessly. The Phantom 4 Pro V2 features a more advanced Return-To-Home function. It has a narrow sensing flight mode for extra safety flying in narrow areas. We also look further into the 3 main flight modes and all the intelligent flight modes listed above. There is also some terrific Phantom 4 flight mode videos throughout.
The batteries on the controller and the Phantom 4 take around 90 minutes to charge. If you’re planning any extended drone usage, I’d definitely advise investing in a couple of extra ‘Intelligent Flight’ batteries. To answer the question simply, I do not recommend this drone to just anyone.
The XF4H-1 was designed to carry four semi-recessed AAM-N-6 Sparrow III radar-guided missiles, and to be powered by two J79-GE-8 engines. As in the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo, the engines sat low in the fuselage to maximize internal fuel capacity and ingested air through fixed geometry intakes. The thin-section wing had a leading edge sweep of 45° and was equipped with blown flaps for better low-speed handling.

Whilst some previous iterations of the Phantom drone required the user to purchase a separate GoPro, the Phantom 4 comes with an attached camera. For those who don’t know, the zebra lines provide a live visual cue as to any area of your photo that is ‘blown out’ – i.e. retaining little to no visual data. The Auto setting does a great job, but tends to expose more for the shadows.
The features an ultra-lightweight magnesium alloy body finished in a brilliant white. It feels far more solid than the Phantom 3 and weighs 100g more, tipping the scales at 1,380g. Being able to see what you’re filming is essential, and this is one of the areas in which the DJI Phantom has excelled. The live stream can be viewed on a connected phone or tablet via the DJI Pilot app for Android and iOS.

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. In addition to the Phantom itself, the case also includes the remote controller, 2 sets of four propellers carried in a protective bag , the charger, and accessory packs.
A little movement on the stick literally goes a long way, though. And the OSS doesn’t work in Sport mode so if you’re flying head-on into something, don’t expect these sensors to save you. Plus, when it is travelling at top speed, it takes much more time for it to stop. The DJI Go app warns you of this the first time you enter the mode, but never again. Regardless, it’s not a mode I would suggest for first-time pilots.
