Introduction
The Phantom 4 is a brand new quadcopter capable of capturing HD video and transmitting
an HD video
signal out of the box. The built-in camera has an integrated gimbal to maximize stability and
weight
efficiency while minimizing space. When no GPS signal is available, Vision Positioning technology provides
hovering precision.
Feature Highlights
Camera and Gimbal: Up to 4K video*(Phantom 4) recording and 12 megapixel photo capture. Re-
served mounting space for ND filters for better exposure control.
HD Video Downlink: Low latency, HD downlink powered by an enhanced version of the DJI Lightbridge system.
It also provides dual controllers mode.
DJI Intelligent Flight Battery: 5350 mAh DJI Intelligent Flight Battery employs new battery cells and a bat-
tery management system.
Flight Controller: The next generation flight controller system provides a more reliable flight experience. A new
flight recorder stores the flight data from each flight, and Vision Positioning enhances hovering preci- sion when
flying indoors and no GPS is available.
