CAMERA GUARD PHANTOM 3 PRO
The Phantom 3 Professional has been certified by Apple in their Works with iMovie and Works with Final Cut Pro X programs, so you can edit 4K without worry whether you are a professional or shooting for fun.Įffective pixels: 12.4 M (total pixels: 12.76 M)įOV 94° 20 mm (35 mm format equivalent) f/2.8 focus at ∞ The gimbal and camera are controlled through the app, and some camera options can be adjusted by using the scroll wheel on the right of the handset clicking down on the wheel enables you to toggle between the sensitivity (ISO) and shutter speed settings.Aircraft Weight (Battery & Propellers Included) Using the Phantom for image capture is extremely straightforward, with direct controls available on the handset and in the app. It's advisable to never let the battery drop below 25% charge, and from fully charged I found that I could get 15-20 minutes of flight before falling to that level, compared with 12-15 minutes with the Phantom 3. Older DJI batteries are not compatible with the Phantom 4, however, which is a blow if you've recently invested in batteries for the 3. The battery features a set of lights that indicate the amount of charge left, giving a handy visual guide to flight times.Īs mentioned, the battery has a slightly larger capacity than the one that shipped with the Phantom 3, and enables 28 minutes of 'average' flight. The Phantom 4 is powered by a single battery which slots into the rear of the craft. You also have the option to set the maximum flight distance and height, which is useful in all sorts of situations, especially if there are flight restrictions. Another button on the controller, the pause button, is used to stop the drone and make it hover, which can be very handy, especially if you lose depth perception and/or orientation. On both the handset and app there are RTH buttons that can be pushed to automatically bring the drone back to the take-off point.
This is one of the most important features you need to be aware of, as if it all goes wrong it will help to avoid 'flyaways'. Return to Home (RTH) mode is enabled automatically when the drone takes off, but it can also be set manually.
The time taken to make the GPS connections varies between a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the conditions, but I never had to wait more than a couple of minutes. It's then just a case of waiting for 6 GPS satellites to be picked up before you take to the air. Once the drone is assembled and your mobile device is connected the controller can be switched on, followed by the Phantom 4. This has the advantage of a fast, secure connection, and doesn't require a Wi-Fi connection to be made out in the field. Unlike drones such as the 3DR SOLO, the Phantom uses a physical wired connection between mobile device and handset. The final step before take-off is to connect the Phantom to a mobile device. Preparing the Phantom for its first flight requires the battery and propellers to be fitted, but this takes less than a minute. The other big change is in the design of the propellers – they're now of the quick-release style, similar to those on the Inspire range of quadcopters. The physical design of the camera has been refined, and part of the 4's bulk can be attributed to the partial integration of the gimbal into the body of the drone and the new larger battery. It feels far more solid than the Phantom 3 and weighs 100g more, tipping the scales at 1,380g. The Phantom 4 features an ultra-lightweight magnesium alloy body finished in a brilliant white. Previous Phantoms have been constructed from plastic, and while this makes them lightweight it also makes them susceptible to damage if crashed. Short battery life has been an issue with previous Phantoms, and DJI has moved to address this in the Phantom 4 with a battery that extends flight times by a quoted 25%. These cameras are now joined by two front-facing sensors that are able to detect objects in the drone's flight path. There's also a change to the top end resolutions and frame rates, with an additional 3840 x 2160 (4K) option alongside the existing 4096 x 2160 (4K), and a new 2704 x 1520 (2.7K) option.Īs with the 3 Professional, the 4 features the ground-facing positioning cameras that help to stabilise the flight of the drone.
