DJI Phantom Drone 4 Is Smart And You Can't Hide From It

The DJI's Phantom 4, the latest drone in the series, is
the "smartest flying camera ever" that can track
humans and avoid obstacles, but it carries a steep
price tag.
Fitted with sophisticated features, the new Phantom 4
drone is among the most advanced consumer drones
on the market. Here are the new functionalities to
expect from this smart drone:
1. Fly With Tap
DJI is making it easier for users to fly the Phantom
Drone 4 through the iOS or Android apps. All they
have to do is to double tap the screen to fly.
The drone's Obstacle Sensing System keeps the drone
safe while flying. The system makes use of two
forward-facing optical sensors to make sure that the
drone will not hit trees, walls and rooftops while
maintaining its flight direction. When the drone
senses a possible obstacle, this will fly around the
particular object to avoid collision. It also has a
Smart Return Home, enabling the drone to safely
return to users.
2. Visual Tracking
The ActiveTrack feature allows users to track their
subject automatically. Pilots will simply tap their
subject in the camera's frame. The Phantom 4 will
then pick up on the object and keep it in the center of
the image even when it changes direction. Pilots,
though, can still control the movement of the camera.
3. Sport Mode
The new flying camera comes with the new Sport
mode, which provides responsive controls. Its reliable
flight control system also makes flying safer at high
speeds. Moreover, the drone sports a 4K video
shooter for higher-quality footage.
4. Extended Flight Time
The Phantom 4 promises 28 minutes of flight time
and a top speed of 20 meters per second or 45 miles
per hour.
"Advanced propulsion systems, highly integrated and
more streamlined design combined with a larger
capacity battery gives the new Phantom 25 percent
more effective flying time," says DJI.
Price And Shipping Date
The new Phantom costs $1,399 , as opposed to $999
price tag of the Phantom 3 Professional.
Those who have ordered the drone via the DJI and
Apple websites should expect their drones to be
delivered starting March 15. Other channels, however,
will ship the drone beginning April 1.
