Because of line of Sight laws in the US, I’m unable to test this distance.Ĭamera Updates: The camera still has the same resolution, however there is a redesigned lens for less distortion and color fringing (Chromatic Aberration). Lightbridge 2: You now have FPV is clear 720 up to a claimed distance of 3 miles. It also has a new release system so you don’t rip off your fingers trying to get the battery out! It also has venting which allows the batter to cool faster. Sport Mode: When you are in sport mode it’s possible to reach speeds as high as 45MPH, try it, it’s fast!Ģ8 Minutes of Flight Time: The battery has been redesigned for longer flight times. The motors are higher to get the props out of the shot. The center of gravity is moved higher for better balance. Newly designed shell: Its now shiny and more streamlined for better aerodynamics. Now there are twin downward cameras and 2 sonic sensors, resulting in detection at 30 feet. In the past there was 1 downward camera and 2 sonic sensors. It allows indoor flying and uses the ground to stabilize movement when you don’t have satellites. Optical Flow: This was introduced on the Inspire 1 and added to the Phantom 3. There are new flight modes including Tap to Fly, and follow object, where it will recognize shapes such as people, cars, bikes etc and can follow them (including gimbal tilt) without any external trackers such as GPS, bands etc. It even has the ability to back up if the object is moving towards the Phantom. Sensory overload: The big news is 2 forward facing cameras for active object avoidance, so you don’t crash into things. Let’s explore the main things in the Phantom 4. Here is another short 1 minute video I made: Flying at Laguna Beach

It will still take a long time, so make sure that you have full batteries and don’t disturb it while it u/g. It will now do the upgrade, and you wont have to listen to that little pip, pip, pip, pip noise anymore. Unplug the USB from your controller and attached the adapter (It was in the small clear bag that you probably left in the box, I’ll wait while you go find it )) attach the adapter and plug into the copter next to the sd slot. Then it will let you download the P4 firmware.

First of all download and install the controller firmware. Thats because you do it though the app now. If you go to the DJI site you wont see any P4 firmware. Summer special, $1,199 – Watch the review here Check out my unboxing video here for a chuckle and more info.Īttn Phantom 4 owners: You will see that you need to update firmware on your new copter. I also test the internal sensors and see how object detection and avoidance works, but using me! Buy the Phantom 4 here. I test sport mode and see how fast it can fly. Yes! The DJI Phantom 4 is out and I have one!Ĭheck out my hands on review, where I put it through its paces. RAW Photos and unedited video sample files available for download at the bottom of the page
