Quadcopter phantom 4 technical characteristics. Maximum flight speed. Basic video characteristics

Finding an unusual angle is the alpha and omega of any photographer and videographer. And the possibility of shooting from a bird's eye view is a philosopher's stone. To obtain it, until recently it was necessary to use all possible aircraft: from a paraglider to hot air balloon. Drones brought the philosopher's stone literally on a silver platter - the operator does not even need to take to the air himself. And with the development of the family DJI Phantom There is virtually no need to consume mercury to mine gold: these drones are extremely easy to use and can directly broadcast the process to mobile device. It is not surprising that they became a real hit and even entered the top 50 not so long ago. best gadgets in history according to Time magazine.

The previous generation, Phantom 3, was notable primarily for its greatly increased reliability (drones began to fly away from the pilot noticeably less often) and the ability to record 4K video. Phantom 4 brought autonomy with it: with the help of additional sonars, it learned to determine not only the height, but also the distance to objects in front or to the side of itself. The most important features are built on this fourth generation– object tracking mode and the ability to independently navigate to a specified point, avoiding obstacles.

Phantom 4 users do not have the ability to connect a second remote control and control the camera and drone separately, as on the Inspire One, for example, but they can view live what the camera shoots, as well as playback already filmed material and remove unnecessary material. Available and touch control- you can direct the lens, just swiping your finger across the screen.

Uses the DJI GO app, available for both iOS and Android. We tested it on several devices on both operating systems– works reliably, without failures. The application is designed at first glance simply - a beginner will get used to it in a few minutes, while there are actually a lot of all kinds of settings: from some basic things like speed or maximum height to the most subtle moments, for example, the smoothness of camera tilt.

All innovations in the application interface are directly related to the technical updates of Phantom 4: this additional modes flight (Tap Fly and Active Track) and a scale of distance to an obstacle with gradation from the red zone to the green - the distance in meters is also indicated directly. As before, a GPS track with a map of the area and notes on altitude, speed and other flight data is displayed on the screen.

Another key feature of all Phantoms (and last generations especially) – in their extreme simplicity. Yes, there are pilot schools - to learn how to fly really well, smoothly and quickly and not get caught emergency situations, Need to study. But you can master the copter at a basic level by simply turning it on and starting it - the entire cycle from putting on the blades to connecting to the application and the first take-off takes about five minutes. The application finds the copter - then you just need to set up the compass, following the instructions, and you can fly.

In terms of its flight characteristics, Phantom 4 is slightly superior to its predecessor: with the same maximum altitude (6 km above sea level), it is capable of gaining altitude in sport mode at a speed of 6 meters per second (versus 5 previously), and descending at a speed of 4 meters per second (versus 3 earlier). Maximum speed also increased to 20 meters per second (72 km/h) versus 16 before (57.6 km/h). With improved dynamic characteristics The copter can stay in the air longer due to the increased capacity battery: 28 minutes, whereas previously it was 5 minutes less.

Let's move on to the new sensors installed on the Phantom 4. Now two compasses are used here, duplicating each other - the situations that happened with the first “phantoms”, when the copter lost its positioning and flew into unknown distances, should be, if not excluded, then reduced to a minimum. Redundant sonar from below should also reduce the number of landing accidents.

In this position, the copter has already noticed an obstacle (car) and refused to fly further

But the key innovation is, of course, the two forward sonars. They work confidently, clearly determining the distance to the object not only directly in front of the aircraft, but also at a slight angle to the side. When the level of one and a half meters is reached, the application emits an alarm signal, the “phantom” stops and does not respond to the movement of the stick towards the hazardous object. It’s very convenient - if you don’t turn off the sensors, then you can essentially crash somewhere only when flying backwards. This innovation will be especially useful for beginners.

Example video of the Tap Fly function on DJI Phantom 4

An additional benefit of these sensors is the ability to autopilot. You can specify a point for the copter directly on the screen of your mobile device - and it will head towards it; at the same time, the likelihood that it will crash somewhere along the way is minimized. Useful feature, if you want to shoot a “flight” at a constant speed and extremely smoothly.

An example of the tracking function on DJI Phantom 4

Another one new feature– object tracking, or Active Track. In this mode, the copter “spots” an object in the frame and guides it, turning around its axis or even following it. Moreover, the “phantom” fixes the object confidently, without getting lost without a serious reason. The reason may be too sharp a jerk to the side. The object is kept in the frame even among similar ones, that is, you can set the copter to follow a person in a crowd. Combined with the ability to fly independently without crashing into obstacles, this is very impressive: a drone flying independently behind you, which flies around trees, poles and even other drones, is a picture from the future, quite real now.

Camera

The camera's technical characteristics have not changed compared to what was found in the DJI Phantom 3. It uses a 1/2.3" sensor with a resolution of 12.4 megapixels with a 20 mm lens (35 mm equivalent), the aperture of which is ƒ/2.8. The camera is capable of shooting 4K video (4096 × 2160) at up to 30 frames per second and a bitrate of 60 Mbps. The camera's coverage angle is 94 degrees, which is smaller than, for example, GoPro, but geometric distortions are not so noticeable.

Available sensitivity range: ISO 100-3200, you can manually set both ISO and exposure parameters. In particular, one of the two control dials on the remote control is responsible for exposure compensation. There are minor changes to programmatically: a slow motion mode with a resolution of 720p (120 frames per second) has been added, digital zoom has appeared (when shooting in 4K it can even be useful, reducing the resolution only to Full HD). Color rendition has also been slightly improved, and the picture subjectively looks a little sharper.

The camera rotates 90 degrees vertically and is equipped with a three-axis stabilizer. In terms of stabilization, DJI also ate the dog - remember, for example, the RONIN body kit. The recorded picture remains smooth even with a sharp copter control style, jitter aircraft also does not affect its quality in any way. The gimbal continuously receives data from the flight processor: angular velocity, moment and inertial force, and the built-in electric motors work to compensate for possible negative effects. Among the artifacts, only the blades of the front propellers occasionally appear in the frame can be noted.

Filming from drones is the most revolutionary event in the photo and video world in recent years, which is perfectly demonstrated by the results of the world's largest photo competitions: among the winners there are always shots taken from the air. To take spectacular photographs from a height, you do not need to be an experienced pilot and have comprehensive knowledge of aircraft modeling - today there are technical solutions, which are as easy to work with as a regular radio-controlled toy. The DJI Phantom 4 quadcopter is the whole system for aerial photography, where a lot of smart technologies are used, “packed” into a simple and friendly interface.

Getting ready for takeoff

The first step in preparing for a flight is to read the instructions. I spent the whole day on this, but there were no questions left. I strongly do not recommend flying without reading the instructions. It's too easy to admit fatal error.

So, let's open the box. Hidden inside the white cardboard cube is a shock-absorbing foam case. In the case, all parts of the copter are in their places: the body, two sets of quick-release blades, Charger and remote control. The perfect solution for carrying “out of the box”: take the case by the handle, and go ahead to shoot. In terms of the level of thoughtfulness of the little things, the product turned out to be close to Apple gadgets.

However, there is still one “little thing” missing from the box. It's about about a smartphone or tablet that performs at least half of the DJI Phantom 4's control tasks. It is implied that modern man similar device can't help but be. Therefore, we take out our smartphone from our pocket and install the DJI GO 4 application on it (for Android and iOS). Now the “puzzle” is complete.

We charge the control panel and the copter battery from the charger, install the blades. We attach the smartphone to the control panel and connect them with a USB cable. In this configuration, you can already fly, but you first need to register in the DJI system and, possibly, update the firmware of the devices. The copter can be easily reflashed using the same smartphone.

In the control panel there is powerful battery, which charges the smartphone during sharing. An excellent solution, because if the smartphone is turned off during a flight, the pilot, at a minimum, does not see what the copter sees.

DJI Phantom 4 is designed to film even out of sight of the pilot: high in the sky and at a great distance. By default, the maximum flight altitude is set at 120 m from the take-off point, and the distance is 480 m. These distances can be increased in the DJI GO 4 application settings.

The creators of the drone took a very careful approach to power supply issues. Its battery can discharge itself after several days of storage. The fact is that lithium batteries deteriorate from storage in a fully charged state. Therefore, it is better to simply recharge the battery before the flight.

Having purchased a Phantom 4, you need to immediately purchase several batteries, for two of them there are extra bed in the case. The flight time on one battery does not exceed 28 minutes, but cold weather and strong winds can reduce it to 15 minutes.

Flight

If you are taking off for the first time, the application will offer a beginner mode with a distance limit. And rightly so: it would be a shame to lose such an expensive copter due to inexperience. However, this is not so easy to do. Both on the remote control and on the application screen there is Home button, which returns the copter to the take-off point. It is set automatically or manually each time before starting a flight. The Phantom 4 will not return in a straight line, but will rise to a safe height to fly around obstacles and descend strictly vertically only above the take-off point. The copter will perform the same maneuver when its battery is running low.

The accuracy of the automatic return to the take-off point is amazing. In the video, the copter “missed” by literally a couple of tens of centimeters.

For those who are afraid to take control at a crucial moment, there is an automatic take-off and landing function. But these same operations can be performed in semi-automatic mode. The pilot’s actions are almost always controlled in one way or another by automation.

DJI Phantom 4 has three flight modes. The quadcopter in positioning mode orients itself in space with using GPS and visual positioning systems. Smart Flight, TapFly and ActiveTrack functions are available in this mode. In sport mode, it can reach speeds of up to 72 km/h, guided by GPS and a visual positioning system. IN manual mode The quadcopter accurately maintains its altitude position, but turns off GPS. The Phantom 4 moves smoothly, making it ideal for video shooting. It will also be useful when flying in enclosed spaces.

We did not fly indoors and did not try to set speed records, so we limited ourselves to positioning mode P. Its main advantage is that the copter flies “instrumentally”: it uses for precise positioning GPS data and GLONASS, compass, ultrasonic sensor heights and other smart electronics.

Two can be used to avoid obstacles additional cameras. The pilot uses the sticks on the remote control to set only the relative displacements of the copter from a certain stable state. If you leave the sticks in a neutral position, the copter will hover in place, independently compensating for the influence of wind and other factors. And this is perhaps the most valuable thing about Phantom 4: no piloting skill is required, at least at first glance.

You can control it either directly by looking at the copter or using the FPV (First Person View) system. It transmits the image to the screen of a smartphone or tablet in high resolution with the minimum possible delay, which is practically not felt. However, at long distances there may be interruptions in the signal, and you need to be ready to take control at any time without the FPV function in order to avoid dangerous situations. This is especially important when approaching objects laterally.

Bird's eye view

Everything that the drone camera sees can be recorded on a memory card in the form of a photo (12 MP in JPEG and/or DNG format) or video. Maximum resolution The video is very serious - up to 4K.

The gimbal camera is an integral part of the aircraft. This is the only way to implement effective stabilization, without which high-quality shooting is simply unthinkable. No matter how hard the wind shakes the copter, there are no jerks or shakes in the frame. This post was taken in strong winds, note the pine trees below.

Problems with shooting can only arise in very strong gusty winds. When the drone is caught in a strong gust, the stabilization system may experience jerking. Propellers flashed once in the frame, but this is really an extreme case. Also, when compensating for a strong gust of wind, the copter may lose altitude.

To start shooting, just press the record button on the remote control or screen. She stops the recording. For photography there is separate button. You can control the camera's tilt using the rocker under your left hand. The dial under the right hand allows you to adjust shooting parameters. For example, you can use it to make exposure compensation. The remote has two more programmable buttons that can be used to quick access to camera settings.

There is only one difficulty: control of recording and flight is concentrated in the hands of one person. Because of this, it is not always possible to carry out complex maneuvers and maintain smooth shooting. This is what automatic flight modes are for.

Automatic flight modes

The DJI Phantom 4's control system is almost as effective as an airplane's autopilot, allowing the pilot to focus on taking photos and videos. There are several modes for this.

The simplest of them is called Tap to fly. We select it in the application settings, determine on the screen the object to which we need to fly, and set the required flight speed (for example, 2 m/s for a smooth picture). Voila! Our copter flies on its own, avoiding obstacles - for this we use two front cameras visual positioning system. At this time, the pilot can concentrate on controlling the camera's tilt or smoothly changing altitude. IN previous versions Phantom did not have such a function.

The second new feature was the object tracking function. The copter recognizes the object and follows it, keeping it in the frame. The visual orientation system helps you avoid crashing into obstacles.

Another interesting mode that owners are well familiar with previous models Phantom is a flyby of an object. The pilot sets the center point of the circle along which the copter will then fly. After that, it flies to the required distance and starts shooting. The copter makes a circle of a given radius relative to the center point. The pilot can change the flight speed and altitude, tilt and camera settings. But automation is responsible for the trajectory and holding the camera on the object. It would be difficult to perform the same maneuver while flying the drone manually.

Bottom line

Serious photo and video capabilities classify the DJI Phantom 4 as a semi-professional photo and video camera... only for flying ones. Today, this is a well-thought-out and perfectly working solution for high-quality aerial photography. The smoothness of the picture is sometimes such that the video seems to have been shot from a tripod. The copter is capable of flying along complex trajectories, near objects being filmed, and in difficult weather conditions.

Of course, the small size of the matrix (½.3″ format) does not allow you to get the same image quality as with SLR camera. But the device performs in a different weight category. To get more High Quality you would have to rent a real helicopter or purchase a heavier and more difficult to control copter. There are such solutions on the market, but in terms of ease of obtaining results they are seriously inferior to Phantom 4. It's difficult to implement a more balanced and thoughtful solution for getting spectacular shots for wedding photography, semi-professional video production or even television filming.

Unsurpassed photos

The new Phantom 4 Pro features a large 1-inch CMOS matrix, for the first time in DJI history, it uses both a distortion-free mechanical shutter (1/2000 sec.) and an electronic shutter (1/8000 sec.), as well as an F2.8 aperture, which together produce incredibly bright and detailed images. with a resolution of 20 MP. With Burst mode, you can easily capture the perfect shot by shooting at 14 frames per second, and selecting desired image, you can publish it instantly or subject it to complex post-processing.

High quality video

Phantom 4 Pro offers fans of the series video recording in 4K quality (4096 × 2160) with the highest bitrate of 100 Mb/s, as well as increased compression and dynamic range. The 84° wide-angle camera will shoot brilliant videos in 4K quality at 60 fps (with H.264 codec) or 30 fps (with H.265 codec), as well as FullHD at 120 fps.

Smart Battery

The quality of the footage certainly also depends on the time spent on this difficult work. The longer the quadcopter can stay in the air, the higher the chance of capturing the perfect moment. The Phantom 4 Pro has a 4S Li-Polymer Smart Battery with an increased capacity of 5870 mAh compared to the Phantom 4, which gives pilots up to 30 minutes of flight time. The smart battery will never allow overheating or hypothermia, continuously transmits information about its condition, calculating how much time is left to return to the take-off point, and in an emergency it will immediately send a warning to the pilot.

Confidently avoid obstacles

Aerial photography has never been safer, with the Phantom 4 Pro monitoring its surroundings in 5 directions: dual visual sensors front, rear and bottom, and infrared sensors on the sides - the entire system continuously measures the distance to nearby objects and calculates the relative speed of movement, ensuring error-free avoidance of any obstacles both at low and high high speed up to 50 km/h!

Autonomous flight

Autonomous flight is a powerful and a complex system Phantom 4 Pro, which brings the quadcopter to absolute automation and includes a complex of sensors (front, rear, bottom and infrared), dual system navigation (GPS and GLONASS), ultrasonic downward-facing rangefinders, duplicated IMUs and compasses, as well as groups of specially designed powerful cores. This system ensures uninterrupted and reliable operation drone, including precise 3D map-based spatial navigation, safe return home and precise hovering even in challenging environments.

Dual control

Flight control is a critical element of safety, which is provided in the Phantom 4 Pro quadcopter by a compass and IMU. DJI has introduced redundant module data blocks, providing dual control of flight characteristics. The Phantom continuously compares data from the main and backup units and if any discrepancies occur, it simply ignores the incorrect indicator, maintaining absolute stability and reliability of the flight.

Lightbridge HD

DJI did not ignore such an important element of shooting as data transmission at a distance. Latest technology Lightbridge HD transmits photos and videos up to 7 km away! Minimum level interference is ensured by the ability to choose the transmission frequency: 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz - this is due to the fact that in city conditions the standard 2.4 GHz frequency is actively used, which often led to image delay. The choice is made automatically towards the frequency at which there is less interference, and this inevitably leads to a qualitative improvement in the filming process.

Remote control

Phantom 4 Pro will give you an unforgettable experience both from the captured footage and from controlling the copter, thanks to the ergonomic and stylish remote control remote control, which fits comfortably in your hands. It has conveniently located function buttons, built-in HDMI port, Micro-SD slot, microphone, speaker and WiFi connection- in general, everything that makes controlling the copter and the footage simple and effective.

DJI GO

The DJI GO app is updated along with DJI products to ensure that all smart features and settings are available to the user. You are getting full information about the condition of the copter, access to a huge number parameters, including fine settings lens, photo and video modes, you can choose from a variety of flight modes, tailoring the device completely to yourself and making it a reflection of your personality. You can install DJI GO on your mobile device or connect it to a DJI CrystalSky monitor for easier and more convenient control.

Position

Phantom 4 Pro is versatile and can be used in the most different situations, thanks to the use of various flight modes. In Position mode, you can use the familiar, but dramatically updated and expanded features of TapFly (touch flight), ActiveTrack (following an object), as well as completely new Draw (route drawing) and Gesture (gesture control) with obstacle avoidance and intelligent positioning.

Sport and Tripod

Sport mode will allow fans of extreme high-speed shooting to add more drive, thanks to increased agility and acceleration of the quadcopter up to 72 km/h. Obstacle avoidance is disabled here and the mode is suitable for very experienced pilots, but this is more than compensated for by getting breathtaking footage.
At the same time, Tripod mode is the opposite side of Sport, limiting speed to 7 km/h, including a full range of sensors for maximum safety, which is especially important for beginners and indoor shooting.

Atti and return home

Atti mode does not support satellite stabilization, but the Phantom 4 Pro maintains altitude. It's ideal for experienced pilots looking to shoot smoother footage.
In contrast, the return home is based on accurate satellite data recorded in the quadcopter's memory. Thanks to them, the Phantom can easily and safely return home along the same route it just flew, all the way to the take-off point. As it approaches, the copter evaluates the surface beneath it, comparing it with the original data, and makes a safe landing.

Introduction

The company presented a new look at what a modern drone should be like. On March 1, 2016, the new DJI Phantom 4 model was released. And many are eager to find out what this quadcopter, unique by modern standards, is capable of. And there really is something to brag about.

About the product

Now Phantom 4 can see and feel, as the developers have equipped it with sensors that will protect the DJI Phantom 4 from collisions during operation. Previously, only the professional drone Matrice 100 could boast of such options in its arsenal, but now they have become available to lovers of new technologies in the new DJI Phantom 4.

A whole complex of sensors is combined into one system called Guidance, which allows the quadcopter to easily avoid collisions with any obstacles that may be encountered on its way, also thanks to this system, now the way home even if the signal with the drone is lost will be the safest because of all this arsenal it can be used independently and the pilot does not have to worry about whether it will return safe and sound.

The developers have significantly improved the visual positioning system and now the drone can see up to 15 meters in front of itself and up to 10 meters below it, without GPS and GLONASS support. The second important improvement is the duplication of the compass and IMU sensors. Now orientation in space is extremely accurate, since the duplicating complex insures each other, which means that error is completely excluded here.

The Phantom 4 camera has been completely redesigned, the gimbal has been seriously changed, and it has become stronger. Its new lens consists of 8 individual lenses to improve sharpness and reduce chromatic aberration. As a result, the quadcopter can now capture high-quality dynamic scenes even in low light conditions. Max. The video quality is as always high - 4K at 30 fps, as are the 12-megapixel photos, the quality of which will surprise even the most serious critics. And to make processing such material easy, the Adobe DNG RAW format will come to the rescue.

Phantom 4 motors have significantly increased their power. Now they are installed in such a way that the rotors will not fall into the frame even when the drone is flying at maximum speed. the developers left them unchanged and they are still built into motherboard. At the exit, the pilot will receive up to 28 minutes of flight at speeds of up to 72 km/h. Note that the well-known Inspire 1 quadcopter had such dynamics; now these characteristics are available for the fourth Phantom series.

Touch on the screen of your gadget the place where you want to send the drone, the quadcopter will do the rest. program mode thanks to the TapFly function. To capture video of moving objects, the pilot just needs to activate the ActiveTrack system, which just needs to point to the intended object, after which the Phantom 4 will follow it and shoot dizzying footage that will not leave any viewer indifferent.

DJI's policy in terms of announcing new products is so closed and reminiscent of Apple that even official distributors do not know all the details before the presentation itself. The first truth-like rumors and photographs of the upcoming new DJI Phantom 4 began to appear about 2 weeks ago. There were actually a lot of rumors and they were very different, some of them came true in the form new version our favorite “Fantik”, but some don’t.

To clarify and describe all the main changes in Phantom 4, we have prepared for the editors gg this article. Anticipating questions about the appearance of the new model, we would like to note that the start of shipments of the DJI Phantom 4 is planned on April 1. Retail price for Europe and Ukraine - 1599 euros.

Now let's move on to listing the features of the Phantom 4, which we already loved in absentia.

Quadcopter body

Improved aerodynamics and stability. The sleek, streamlined and polished body ensures Phantom 4 glides smoothly through the air.

New propeller mount

While the Phantom 3 had screw-in propellers, the new quadcopter has PUSH-AND-RELEASE technology. To securely attach or remove the propeller, lightly push and turn it. This mount can withstand much higher speeds.

Integrated gimbal

By moving the camera gimbal inside the quadcopter, unwanted vibration during flight is eliminated, which allows you to get clear footage even during the most difficult maneuvers.

Increased flight time and distance

A new propulsion system, streamlined body design and a larger battery increase flight time to 28 minutes. At the same time you enjoy full control and viewing HD video from the camera in real time at a distance of 5 km. (Under calm conditions and at constant speed. Maximum distance is obtained in areas free from interference. Flight range varies depending on the terrain.)

Obstacle avoidance

4 new sensors: 2 forward-facing, 2 downward-facing and camera image processing technology allow Phantom 4 to avoid obstacles in its path on the fly and avoid collisions.

Improved indoor flights

DJI's Vision Positioning System has been improved, increasing the effective recognition height to 10 meters. This improves safety when flying indoors.

Fly with Tap

Just double-tap on the screen of your smartphone or tablet to fly in the selected direction or towards an object of interest to you

Visual tracking

The ActiveTrack function allows you to automatically track a selected object, without the need for bracelets or beacons. Highlight desired object on the screen, Phantom 4 will create a 3D model of it and fly behind it while avoiding all obstacles.

Sports mode

The new sport mode provides more responsive controls and increases flight speed to 20 m/s.

Camera performance

The video camera shoots 4K at 30 frames per second or Full HD 1080p at 120 fps. Thanks to this, slowmo mode became possible!

Professional post-processing

Photographers have the opportunity to shoot 12 megapixel photos in Adobe DNG RAW format.

Intelligent Positioning

Phantom 4 connects to GPS and GLONASS. It connects with satellites faster and positions itself in the air with extreme precision.

Backpack

A new backpack designed specifically for the Phantom 4 protects it during transport and holds a charger, spare battery and even a 15” laptop.
