DJI Phantom 4 Specification

Overview

The DJI Phantom 4 is a Multirotors drone that was released by DJI in 2016.

A multirotor drone is a multiple propeller, vertical lift drone. These drones are more maneuverable due to their flight profile, being able to fly much closer to buildings and other obstacles. Multi-rotor drones like the DJI Phantom 4 also tend to be faster to deploy, and tend to be significantly cheaper to acquire and operate.

The battery capacity inside is 5350 mAh.

Performance

The DJI Phantom 4 falls within an 'average' speed of drones with a max speed of around 72 km/h. If you're a beginner or even an intermediate drone user, than this should still be plenty. if you're looking for something a bit faster however, it'd be best to keep looking.

Falling inside a decent flight range for drones at 5 km, you'd be safe to fly it outside of line-of-sight. You won't be disappearing to the other side of the city, but you will get more than enough range for average and above-average usage.

With a well above the average maximum range of 5 km, you're guaranteed a long-distance flight. Be assured you'll reach the distance you need, from the comfort of your mobile office, or even your couch, and know that your drone won't just disappear off into the distance.

The drone sits well within an average flight time when compared to other drones, with a maximum flight time of 28 min. This flight time will be plenty of the average user, and should give you more than enough time between charges. You can always bring an extra battery to swap out between flights, or just a battery pack to charge it up as you go should you need a little more flight time.

The Phantom 4 is DJI's best Phantom offering yet. While the automated flight features might not entirely live up to the hype, they do make possible things that would have previously been very difficult or even impossible. They also pave the way for even better automation in future releases.

DJI's Phantom 4 is in fact a pretty amazing piece of technology and -- for the moment -- has supplanted the Phantom 3 Professional as the consumer camera drone to get if you've got the money. That said, the out-of-the-box flight experience isn't all that different from the Phantom 3 -- any of them. To be sure, the Phantom 4 does more, but if you are a beginner, there are less expensive options for learning to fly and capturing nice video and photos while you do it.
