The new DJI Phantom 4 drone is now available for pre-order on Apple's online store.
The DJI Phantom 4 is the smartest flying camera drone from DJI, allowing you to capture superb aerial images on your iPhone or iPad. Not only does it fly intelligently with a tap and automatically create seamless tracking shots, it can autonomously avoid obstacles and do much more.
Features: ● Sense and avoid Twin front-facing optical sensors see obstacles, so if there’s something in the Phantom drone’s way it wil stop or fly around it - giving you the confidence to fly safely.
● Fly with touch In TapFly mode, tap the screen of your iPhone or iPad to move in a particular direction. And keep flying by tapping elsewhere on the screen.
● Visual tracking Now it's a snap to fly while keeping the camera pointed steadily at a moving subject. ActiveTrack uses advanced visual tracking capabilities to fully automate tracking, so you get the perfect shot every time.
● Easy to fly Up to 24 satellites plus advanced Vision Positioning systems make for effortless flight. The Phantom 4 knows where it is, where you are, and flies exactly as you tell it to.
● Professional-quality imaging Shoot 4K video at 30fps, full HD 1080p video at up to 120fps for crisp slow motion, and 12 megapixel photos in DNG RAW for full editing creativity.
● High-speed fun A new sport mode capable of up to 45mph speeds makes flying even fun.
● Long flight times A large-capacity battery and a high-efficiency design give you more than 28 minutes of flight time when flying without satellite support.
● Comprehensive app control The free DJI GO app on your iPhone or iPad provides a live video feed, full manual camera controls, and access to all smart flight features including Follow Me, TapFly, and ActiveTrack.
Highlights ● Automatic obstacle avoidance ● Fly with a tap ● Track subjects without a tracking device ● 4K 30fps and 1080p 120fps video ● 12 megapixel, Adobe DNG RAW photos ● Ready to fly out of the box ● Full manual remote camera control, long-range live feed from camera
The drone costs $1,399.95 and includes a remote controller, an intelligent flight battery, a mobile device holder, two sets of propellers and propeller storage bag, charger and power cable, gimble clamp, a 16GB MicroSD card, MicroSD cable, and carrying case.
No doubt! I have the Phantom 3 Prof and the Inspire 1 v2.0, but the P4P has technology that makes those look outdated. With the ability the basically enter a flight plan and the Quad knows how to ignore objects in flight; gives you the freedom to focus on your video and capture shots.
Well, I see it like this, if one had problems avoiding buildings or making flight plans that included one of those in it, that person should not fly drones. And even with this new technology in Phantom 4, one still need to watch for the branches and wires, as Phantom 4 cannot perceive those. All in all, not that much gain with Ph4 for owners that have Ph3 or Inspire.
Just a tip: watch the movie without sound. The narration is annoying and condescending. For a toy that costs $1400, they could have really spend some more money on the intro movie.
