The Fox Broadcasting Company used Phantom 2 Vision+’s to promote 24 during San Diego Comic-Con International 2014. According to DJI P4RTK camera FC6310R is identical to Phantom 4 pro’s but has a glass lens instead a plastic one. The Phantom 4 Pro is not compatible with the remote controller of the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 and vice versa. Joshua Goldman is a senior editor for CNET Reviews, covering laptops and the occasional action cam or drone and related accessories. He has been writing about and reviewing consumer technology and software since 2000. This new drone takes the Phantom 4 Pro, adds in OcuSync connectivity, updated ESCs and high-efficiency propellers to improve the flight experience.
The DJI Pro V2.0 remains a highly capable drone for both stills and video production thanks to its 1-inch sensor, adjustable aperture, mechanical shutter and up to 4K/60p video capture. With speed, power and highly responsive controls, it’s a great option for professional photographers and videographers, if far less convenient than the Mavic 2 Pro. DJI says battery life on the Phantom 4 Pro has increased a touch, from 25 minutes to 30. And it built in a bunch of new bells and whistles to its intelligent flight modes. The new drone will fly autonomously through much tighter spaces and more complex environments. And you can have it navigate to waypoints simply by drawing a line on your map with a finger.
You still have to contend with the Phantom’s propellers creating a flickering effect when approaching the sun at a certain angle—slowing down your shutter speed can help to ameliorate the effect. The Phantom 4 Pro manages a top speed of about 30mph in its GPS-assisted flight mode, with forward and rear obstacle avoidance in full effect. When flying in this mode, you won’t see the rotors in your video, even if the camera is pointed straight forward. The Pro has a 1-inch image sensor with four times the surface area of the Phantom 4’s camera. It captures 4K footage at up to 60fps, and shoots 20MP Raw and JPG photos. It’s also our Editors’ Choice, as the more expensive Pro+ configuration shows that an integrated tablet can have as many drawbacks as advantages.
To take full advantage of the dji mini 2 fly more combo RTK’s positioning modules, the new TimeSync system was created to continually align the flight controller, camera and RTK module. Upgrade your next mapping mission with the Phantom 4 RTK, the most compact and accurate low altitude mapping solution. At press time the Phantom 4 is selling for about $300 less than the Pro, and remains a superb option for videographers who are happy with the excellent video quality it delivers. If you have the budget, though, and you’re serious about aerial videography, the Pro’s extra cost is justified.
A new AR route function shows the quadcopters real-time flight direction for reference as its route is adjusted. Here is a short list of some of the best 3D mapping software packages for drones. These are installed on the Smartphone or Tablet device and can create 3D images very quickly. The following software are excellent for creating 3D images and all have waypoint navigation. The new 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.
