This helps you with just having to concentrate on the direction the camera is pointed and the speed of the Phantom rather than you having to constantly change the path that the Phantom 4 travels in. In Tripod Mode, the maximum flight speed is limited to 5.6 miles per hour and the braking distance is reduced to 6.6 feet. Responsiveness to stick movements is also reduced for smoother more controlled movements.
We all know that there is more to a camera than just a pixel count, which is why you shouldn’t shrug off the fact that the camera is identical on the spec sheet. ActiveTrack will work down to 6ft above the ground when the aircraft is switched to P mode. Tap the Stop button on the left of the screen to exit ActiveTrack. At this point you may choose to start a new mission or bring the aircraft back to the Home Point. Phantom 4 can fly up to 44.7mph in Sport Mode while in ATTI Mode it can fly up to 35.8mph. Phantom 4 will use GPS/Glonass and its Vision Positioning System to achieve precision while hovering.
However, the most outstanding camera option with the WingtraOne is the Sony RX1RII 42 MP full-frame. This payload’s sensor size improves light sensitivity and reduces the noise in resulting images. The 42 MP resolution with this WingtraOne payload means that both your GSD is best-in-class, and so is your absolute accuracy, which we phantom 4 discuss in the following section. The WingtraOne has a high-quality glass fiber airframe featuring replaceable side stands and a middle stand. As a ground station, you get a Samsung Tab Active 2, which passed military spec testing for 21 environmental conditions, including temperature, dust, shock/vibration and extreme pressures.
The wifi patch antennas were moved from the camera case to the sides of the aircraft on either side of the battery. It received a no-fly zone software-implanted, warning the user of places where not to fly (ex. airports). The maximum video transmission technology on the Phantom 4 is same as the ones on Phantom 3 Pro and Adv, which is Lightbridge 2, it has a maximum FCC flying range of 5 km. If you are flying for pay, or any other form of compensation, you must operate under a different set of rules and possess a commercial drone license.
The base station also includes a charging station and two sets of batteries, as well as a remote control, telemetry module, and an anemometer to gauge wind. The camera features a 20MP 1-inch sensor, capable of shooting impressive raw stills and 4K/60p video at 100Mbps video in the D-Log color profile. When you’re shooting with your DJI Phantom 4 drone you will need a constant supply of fresh batteries.
The most recent release, the Phantom 4 RTK drone, which is DJI’s first survey-focused UAV, has only amplified DJI’s importance to the earthmoving community. Because it’s significantly less expensive than alternative options, it’s a low-risk investment for all sized businesses and operations, especially those who couldn’t afford to start a drone program previously. The Phantom 4 RTK represents the perfect synchrony of price point, level of accuracy, and reliability. Using state of the art computer vision algorithms, Litchi keeps your selection perfectly framed while you fly the drone. That’s ok too, start an autonomous Orbit or Follow and watch Litchi take care of everything.
If using a network base station, any previously saved stations are seen in the list. To add a new station, tap Create New RTK Network Service Provider Source. Connect to the P4RTK drone and select dji fly RTK in the drone selection drop-down. An RTK indicator appears on the telemetry bar once the RTK drone is connected.
As I say, be sure to check out the Yuneec Typhoon H for a drone nearly as capable, but at a lower price. I recorded everything at full auto settings, this is what you will see straight out of the box. Additional video settings include 720p and 1080p up to 120 fps, 2720×1530 up to 60 fps, 4K up to 60 fps and Cinematic 4K up to 50 fps. Overall, the Phantom 4 Pro is a responsive drone, fast and able to go wherever you point it.
