Updated Quadcopter: DJI Phantom 4 Amplifies Autonomous Flight capabilities, Compensating for Subpar Piloting Skills

The DJI Phantom 4, developed by Chinese technology giant DJI (SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd.), has made a splash in the world of drones. Released on March 1, 2016, this innovative device has quickly become a favourite among enthusiasts and professionals alike.

One of the standout features of the DJI Phantom 4 is its advanced obstacle detection system. Built into its body are an array of cameras that can see various obstacles in 3D and make split-second decisions to avoid collision. This feature, combined with its on-board cameras, helps the pilot to avoid obstacles such as buildings, people, and trees during flight.

The DJI Phantom 4 also boasts a new wide-angle lens, which allows for sharper and clearer shots in the corners compared to previous models. The camera built into the undercarriage of the drone is capable of recording 4K video and taking 12-megapixel photographs. In windy conditions, the motorized gimbal keeps the camera balanced, providing a Hollywood Steadicam-like look to the video.

The DJI Phantom 4 drone is equipped with a controller featuring two joysticks, a power button, and a landing button. To view what the drone is seeing in real time, connect an iOS or Android device to the controller via USB. The drone can detect objects as far as 49 feet away, and in 'Sports Mode', it can reach speeds up to 45mph (72km) and gain 20 feet of altitude in a second.

The DJI Phantom 4 drone also offers a function called TapFly, which finds an unobstructed path to a destination. For those who prefer a more hands-off approach, there's the ActiveTrack function, which keeps the drone's camera trained on moving objects. The drone can even function without the target carrying a phone or a tracking device in the 'follow-me' mode.

The DJI Phantom 4 drone has a maximum control range of 3.1 miles (just under 5km). With its larger battery, it can fly for over 28 minutes. For those looking to save more before shopping, DJI promo codes are available.

The DJI Phantom 4 drone is currently available for $1399 plus Free Shipping. Its propellers are easier and simpler to install, and it has succeeded the popular DJI Phantom 3. There is also an available app for the DJI Phantom 4 drone that offers extra automatic flight modes and guided tutorials.

In conclusion, the DJI Phantom 4 is a game-changer in the world of drones. Its advanced features and innovative design make it a must-have for anyone interested in aerial photography and videography.
