help DJI Phantom 4 FAQ
Does the DJI Phantom 4 have obstacle avoidance?
Yes, the Phantom 4 was the first model in DJI's Phantom series to feature a stereoscopic, forward-facing obstacle avoidance system. Using two front-facing cameras, it can detect obstacles ahead and automatically stop before impact.
What camera quality does the DJI Phantom 4 record in?
The Phantom 4 records 4K video at up to 30 frames per second and captures 12-megapixel still photos. The camera is mounted on a 3-axis mechanical gimbal for stabilized aerial footage.
Can the DJI Phantom 4 track moving subjects automatically?
Yes, the Phantom 4 introduced DJI's ActiveTrack feature, which allows the drone to visually lock onto and follow a moving subject without requiring a separate tracking device. The pilot can draw a box around the subject on the mobile app and the drone will keep it framed in the video.
How long can the DJI Phantom 4 fly on one battery charge?
The Phantom 4 has a maximum flight time of approximately 28 minutes on a fully charged battery, a meaningful improvement over the Phantom 3 line's roughly 23-minute ceiling. Wind conditions, flight speed, and use of obstacle-avoidance sensors can all reduce actual flight time.
