Phantom 4 Pro V2.0
Design
Iconic Phantom Series Design
Like all Phantom drones, the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is robust and features the iconic Phantom series design.
Camera Performance
4K/60fps at 100 Mbps
The Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 is a professional aerial photography drone equipped with a mechanical shutter. Not only does this reduce the troublesome rolling shutter effect, but it also allows pilots to freeze fast-moving objects in frame, helping tremendously with capturing high-speed action with stunning clarity.
Fans of crystal-clear imagery will be more than impressed with the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0. Pilots can film with Cinema 4k/60fps and enjoy more creative freedom with an adjustable aperture of f/2.8-f/11. With a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 20 MP images, 14fps Burst shooting mode, and more, creating professional footage has never been easier.
Flight Performance
30-Minute Max Flight Time
With a maximum flight up to 30 minutes, maximum transmission distance of 8 km thanks to OcuSync 2.0, and a maximum flight speed of 72 kph, you are getting exceptional fight performance. Whether you’re capturing a fast-moving object or flying high above a picturesque mountain range, the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 delivers state-of-the-art DJI flight performance technology to you.
Other Features
1. Intelligent Features
Creative shots are just a tap away thanks to intelligent features. With three ActiveTrack options, users can film subjects in Profile, Spotlight, or Circle mode. An improved TapFly mode allows pilots to fly their Phantom drone in reverse, perfect for those dynamic aerial selfies.
Are you interested in controlling your flight paths creatively? Now you can in Draw mode. Simply draw a route on the remote-controller display screen, and your Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 will move in that direction while keeping its altitude locked.
2. Remote Controller
With the optional 5.5-inch 1080p LCD screen built into the remote controller, using any of the flight modes mentioned above, livestreaming, or even operating under direct sunlight can be done with crystal-clear quality. The DJI GO 4 app is integrated into the remote controller, preventing the need for a mobile device during operation.
3. Obstacle Sensors
Pilots can now fly with comfort, thanks to advanced obstacle sensors. With two rear visual sensors, forward and downward sensors, and infrared sensors on its sides, the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 provides reliable obstacle sensing in five directions. If the transmission signal is lost, the drone has a Return to Home function that will bring it back to its original takeoff position. How’s that for flight safety?
