There is also many very few nice Phantom 4 Pro videos along the way.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DJI Flight Modes Review<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quick Overview Of \u00a0The Phantom 4 Pro<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Phantom 4 Pro has a titanium and magnesium alloy construction increasing the strength of its frame and reducing weight. \u00a0This gives the Phantom 4 Pro a longer flight time of approximately 30 minutes.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Pro Camera<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Phantom 4 Pro also has a terrific camera\u00a0with a 1-inch 20-megapixel CMOS sensor which is capable of shooting 4K at 60 frames per second video and Burst Mode stills at 14 frames per second.\u00a0\u00a0A custom engineered lens made up of eight elements is arranged in seven groups and it is the first DJI camera to use a mechanical shutter, eliminating rolling shutter distortion which can occur when taking images of fast moving subjects or when flying at high speed.In effect, the Phantom 4 Pro camera is as powerful as many traditional ground cameras. More powerful video processing supports H.264 4K videos at 60 fps or H.265 4K at 30 fps, both with a 100 Mbps bitrate. Advanced sensors and processors ensure everything is captured with more image detail and the image data needed for advanced post-production.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Pro Price<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen you look at all the innovative technology built into the Phantom 4 Pro, it is well ahead of the competition including the very latest of drones to be released.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Phantom 4 Pro has perfect body design, super smooth flying and a top of the range camera stability. \u00a0DJI have been a top manufacturer of gimbals for years. \u00a0Their camera technology is also exceptional. \u00a0DJI\u2019s bought a majority stake in Swedish camera maker Hasselblad in 2016 and the quality of DJI lens is simply outstanding.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Phantom 4 Pro also features 5 directions of obstacle avoidance along with all the intelligent autonomous flight modes below. DJI have sales on throughout the year and you can view the latest price and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dronezon.store\/phantom-4-parts-upgrades-accessories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phantom 4 Pro bundles here<\/a>. \u00a0With all the automatic flight modes, together with super stable flight system and a quality 4k camera, the Phantom 4 Pro is the best value drone on the market.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Pro \u2013 Intelligent Flight Modes<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>P-Mode (Position)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>S-Mode (Sport)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A-Mode (Attitude)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0When it comes to flying your Phantom 4 Pro and especially in the intelligent flight modes which allow for obstacle sensing and avoidance, please read the Phantom 4 user manual as it gives some specific notes on where to fly and also what conditions not to fly in.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Pro P-Mode (Position)<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is your regular flight mode. P-Mode is also the default mode of your Phantom 4. This means it is already in P-Mode straight out of the box. \u00a0It includes GPS and GLONASS satellite positioning. \u00a0It is on your remote controller in the P-mode position.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nP-Mode allows your quadcopter to use visual positioning and obstacle sensing. \u00a0It is also the position you need to be in to use all the intelligent flight modes such as Waypoints, ActiveTrack, TapFly and beginner mode etc.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Pro S-Mode (Sport)<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nS-Mode is Sport Mode and allows your Phantom 4 to fly at speeds up to 45 miles per hour. \u00a0On the remote controller you need to switch to S-Mode. \u00a0You also need to enable \u201cMultiple Flight Mode\u201d in the DJI Go app. While flying in sports mode you have full satellite and vision positioning support.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0In sports mode, obstacle sensors are turned off so you need to be fully aware of where you are flying.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Pro A-Mode (Attitude)<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nThis switches off your GPS but keeps altitude control. This mode is for experienced pilots allowing you to fly real steady and smooth which can be great for filming.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0In Attitude Mode, you don\u2019t have the \u201cReturn To Home\u201d feature.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s a nice easy introduction to the Position, Sport and Attitude modes on the DJI Phantom 4. \u00a0These modes are the same for the Phantom 4 Pro.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Draw Waypoints<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nDraw is a brand new technology for waypoint control. Simply draw a route on screen and the Phantom 4 Pro will move in the direction while keeping its altitude locked. This lets the pilot focus on camera control and enables more complex shots. There are two Draw modes that can be used in different scenarios.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nForward \u2013 The aircraft follows the route at a constant speed with the camera facing in the direction of flight.\r\nFree \u2013 The aircraft only moves along the route when instructed. In this mode, the camera can face in any direction during a flight.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUsing Draw, the aircraft will fly along the flight path drawn on screen. As it flies, it will automatically brake and hover when it sees obstacles provided that the lighting is appropriate \u2013 no darker than 300 lux or brighter than 10,000 lux.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWaypoint navigation gives the Phantom 4 Pro many more uses outside of aerial filming. \u00a0The Phantom 4 Pro can be mounted with for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dronezon.com\/learn-about-drones-quadcopters\/multispectral-sensor-drones-in-farming-yield-big-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multispectral camera sensors<\/a>\u00a0which has many uses including precision agriculture and\u00a0golf course maintenance.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TapFly Intelligent Flight Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure><\/figure>\r\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-366812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dronezon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DJI-Phantom-4-Intelligent-Flight-Systems-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"DJI Phantom 4 Pro Intelligent Flight Modes and Obstacle Avoidance Systems\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\nWith the TapFly feature, users can now tap on the mobile device screen to fly in the designated direction without using the remote controller. The aircraft will automatically avoid obstacles it sees or will brake and hover provided that the lighting is appropriate (&lt; 300 lux) or too bright (&lt; 10,000 lux).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFly in any direction visible on-screen with a simple tap. Tap anywhere on-screen to smoothly adjust the direction of flight while automatically avoiding obstacles * and tap the screen again or use control sticks to change direction.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA new AR route function shows the aircraft\u2019s real-time flight direction for reference as its route is adjusted. As it can be difficult to control altitude, course, speed and camera pitch simultaneously using joysticks, TapFly Free allows a pilot to set the direction of flight, allowing them to turn the Phantom 4 Pro or tilt the gimbal as required without changing the direction of flight.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere are now three TapFly modes:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTapFly Forward \u2013 Tap to fly in the selected direction\r\nTapFly Backward \u2013 Tap to fly in the opposite direction of the tap, i.e. tap in the bottom right corner of the screen to fly backward towards the top left.\r\nTapFly Free \u2013 Lock the forward direction of the Phantom without locking the camera direction allowing it to turn as it flies.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0Obstacle Avoidance is not available with TapFly Free.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 TapFly Tutorial<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nHere is a terrific explanation and tutorial about TapFly on the Phantom 4. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FEHXTrECkAQ?rel=0\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gesture Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nUsing Gesture Mode, selfies can be captured easily using a few gestures without the remote controller. Advanced computer vision technology allows the Phantom 4 Pro to take instructions through gestures. The subject simply lifts their arms when facing the camera and the aircraft will recognize this movement by locking on and placing the subject in the center of the frame.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen ready for a photo, the subject holds their arms out to signal the aircraft. A three second countdown will begin, making time to strike a pose, allowing moments to be captured without the remote control.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Terrain Follow Flight Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Downward Vision System is utilized in Terrain Follow Mode to maintain a height above ground between 1 and 10 meters. This mode is designed for use on grassland sloped at no more than 20 degrees.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen this mode is enabled, the Phantom 4 Pro\u2019s current height will be recorded. The drone will maintain the recorded height during flight and ascend when the slope rises. \u00a0However, the Phantom 4 Pro will not descend in downward slopes.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tripod Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nIn Tripod Mode, the maximum flight speed is limited to 5.6 miles per hour and the braking distance is reduced to 6.6 feet. Responsiveness to stick movements is also reduced for smoother more controlled movements.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRead the manual and use Tripod Mode carefully.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ActiveTrack Intelligent Flight Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nThis Phantom 4 Pro ActiveTrack intelligent mode allows you to mark and track a moving object on your mobile device screen. It\u2019s the new Follow Me technology. The Phantom 4 will automatically avoid obstacles in its flight path.\u00a0The Phantom 4 Pro automatically recognizes subjects, follows and captures them as they move, making it easier to get complex shots. \u00a0The Phantom 4 Pro can automatically identify and trace bikes, vehicles, people and animals and uses many different tracking system for each.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFollowing fast-moving objects can be very challenging. The advanced image recognition algorithms used by the Phantom 4 Pro will allow it to recognize and track the object while keeping it in frame. This new algorithm also recognizes more subjects, from people to vehicles to animals, and will adjust its flight dynamics to match, ensuring smoother shots.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis ActiveTrack makes aerial filming so much easier. \u00a0Tracking a moving object while at the same time working the gimbal and camera is pretty difficult. \u00a0ActiveTrack is game changing technology.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nActiveTrack has been expanded in the Phantom 4 Pro by adding another 3 intelligent flight modes. They are;\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Profile \u2013 Tracks the subject horizontally<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Spotlight \u2013 Locks the camera on the subject while you fly in almost any direction<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Circle \u2013 Swings 360 degrees around the subject<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\nBoth TapFly and ActiveTrack are very easy to configure in the DJI Go app. \u00a0For ActiveTrack, you simply drag a box around the object. \u00a0ActiveTrack sees and recognizes objects using the camera of the Phantom 4. \u00a0When the object is identified, the box will turn green.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0Read the Phantom 4 User Manual which gives all the circumstances in which you should not fly in ActiveTrack mode. \u00a0When it comes to drones, it best to learn by reading rather than crashing. \u00a0Think safety.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 ActiveTrack Flight Mode Tutorial<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nThis next tutorial video shows you how to use the Phantom 4 ActiveTrack. It\u2019 a terrific feature. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1BR-StIqllw?rel=0\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DJI Phantom 4 Follow Me Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe\u00a0Follow Me mode\u00a0uses the ActiveTrack technology mentioned above. The aircraft will automatically follow you and capture your every move from a unique aerial perspective.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFollow me has so many positive uses. \u00a0Here we see an triathlete using the Phantom 4 Follow Me mode to check her running technique. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sbsRtdUFXOc?rel=0\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Follow Me Active Track Tutorial<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is an excellent tutorial of the Phantom 4 Follow Me intelligent mode using ActiveTrack. Terrific video. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f-S0oCOVAC4?rel=0\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Pro Obstacle Sensing\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe obstacle avoidance and Vision Positioning System were first introduced by DJI on the Matrice 100 in 2015. \u00a0The Matrice 100 is a modular drone allowing engineers and developers to create new solutions.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPilots always need to be aware of obstacles when filming. This is a challenge for beginner pilots as well as experienced pilots, especially when sight lines are obstructed and you are fully concentrating on filming.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Phantom 4 Pro is equipped with an environment sensing system based on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dronezon.com\/learn-about-drones-quadcopters\/top-drones-with-obstacle-detection-collision-avoidance-sensors-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stereo vision and infrared sensors<\/a>. It is able to detect obstacles 98 feet in front, allowing it to plan its flight path to avoid them or simply hover in the event of an emergency.\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51F5Ogb8ByL._AC_SL230_.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aax-us-east.amazon-adsystem.com\/x\/c\/Qil7LVOzgxaWajmKJ4lrBuYAAAFhcVIaKgEAAAFKAVA9Tjw\/https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/slredirect\/picassoRedirect.html\/ref=syn_sp_syn_a9sb_desktop_0?ie=UTF8&amp;adId=A10306603VRBTUS65MEH0&amp;qualifier=1518024661&amp;id=1819619158107950&amp;widgetName=sp_syn_a9sb_desktop&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FDJI-Quadcopter-Starters-Hardshell-Backpack%2Fdp%2FB01N52W70O%2Fref%3Dsm_n_ma_dka_IN_pr_snf%3FadId%3DB01N52W70O%26creativeASIN%3DB01N52W70O%26linkId%3D05e295114a9cc9f446f404be589c3dce%26tag%3Dt0e5c-20%26linkCode%3Dw58%26ref-refURL%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.dronezon.com%252Fdrone-reviews%252Fphantom-4-intelligent-modes-obstacle-sensing-active-tracking%252F%26slotNum%3D0%26imprToken%3DBHOf274qWZnwVRLQO3JSSg%26adType%3Dsmart%26adMode%3Dmanual%26adFormat%3Dcard%26impressionTimestamp%3D1518024664787\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DJI Phantom 4 PRO Quadcopter Starters Hardshell Backpack Bundle<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBy\u00a0<strong>DJI<\/strong> $1499.00 Rated 4 out of 5\u00a0by 45 reviewers on Amazon.com <a href=\"https:\/\/aax-us-east.amazon-adsystem.com\/x\/c\/Qil7LVOzgxaWajmKJ4lrBuYAAAFhcVIaKgEAAAFKAVA9Tjw\/https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/slredirect\/picassoRedirect.html\/ref=syn_sp_syn_a9sb_desktop_0?ie=UTF8&amp;adId=A10306603VRBTUS65MEH0&amp;qualifier=1518024661&amp;id=1819619158107950&amp;widgetName=sp_syn_a9sb_desktop&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FDJI-Quadcopter-Starters-Hardshell-Backpack%2Fdp%2FB01N52W70O%2Fref%3Dsm_n_ma_dka_IN_pr_snf%3FadId%3DB01N52W70O%26creativeASIN%3DB01N52W70O%26linkId%3D05e295114a9cc9f446f404be589c3dce%26tag%3Dt0e5c-20%26linkCode%3Dw58%26ref-refURL%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.dronezon.com%252Fdrone-reviews%252Fphantom-4-intelligent-modes-obstacle-sensing-active-tracking%252F%26slotNum%3D0%26imprToken%3DBHOf274qWZnwVRLQO3JSSg%26adType%3Dsmart%26adMode%3Dmanual%26adFormat%3Dcard%26impressionTimestamp%3D1518024664787\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis same system also allows it to hover in position without GPS. Combined with infrared sensors on its left and right sides, the Phantom 4 Pro can avoid obstacles in a total of four directions.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nForward and rearward obstacle sensing range has been increased, allowing the Phantom 4 Pro to fly at 31 miles per hour with full protection of its stereo vision obstacle sensing system. It makes fast, dramatic video easier and ultimately safer to capture.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0There are many conditions or situations where the Obstacle Avoidance and Vision Position system will not fly very well in. \u00a0Read the Phantom 4 Pro User Manual and become familiar which the correct flying conditions. \u00a0Think safety at all times.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6 Camera Navigation System<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nThree sets of dual vision sensors form a 6-camera navigation system that works constantly to calculate the relative speed and distance between the aircraft and an object. Using this network of forward, rearward and downward vision sensors, the Phantom 4 Pro is able to hover precisely in places without GPS when taking off indoors, or on balconies, or even when flying through windows with minimal pilot control.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the unlikely event that front and downward sensors are unable to operate, the aircraft can still hover in place using the rear stereo vision system. The Phantom 4 Pro also is able to fly in complex environments at a flight speed of up to 31 miles per hour while avoiding obstacles in its path.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn Narrow Sensing Mode, the Phantom 4 Pro narrows its sensing scope enabling it to see in more detail and fly through small spaces.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis video gives you a brief outline of the advanced technology in the Obstacle Avoidance and Vision Positioning system.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Course Lock<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen Course Lock is activated, it locks the current Phantom 4 nose direction as the aircraft forward direction. The Phantom 4 will move in the locked directions no matter what its orientation (yaw angle) is. \u00a0This easy navigation allows you to fly in a set direction as you\u00a0fly alongside moving objects or across scenes.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCourse Lock is a really great mode which enables you to get terrific flyby shots while remaining focused on a particular area. This helps you with just having to concentrate on the direction the camera is pointed and the speed of the Phantom rather than you having to constantly change the path that the Phantom 4 travels in.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Course Lock Tutorial<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nHere is a terrific\u00a0DJI Phantom 4 Course Lock Intelligent Flight mode tutorial from Bill Nichols. \u00a0He explains and demonstrates how Course Lock mode works really well. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PzlsnvjcT8o?rel=0\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Pro Return To Home<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nIn its upgraded Return to Home mode, the Phantom 4 Pro can automatically choose the best route to return home depending on environmental conditions. It records its route as it flies, allowing it to return along the same route avoiding obstacles if the control signal is disconnected.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBased on its altitude at the time of disconnection, the Phantom 4 Pro is also able to adjust its flight path to avoid obstacles it has seen during its flight. At takeoff, the Phantom 4 Pro will record the scene below and compare its recording with what it sees as it returns, for more precise landing.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt can also detect the ground to see whether there is suitable spot for landing. If any obstacles are found, or there is water on the ground, it will alert the pilot and hover at an appropriate height, helping the aircraft to land more safely.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phantom 4 Beginner Flight Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\nIn the \u201cBeginner Mode, the Phantom 4 cannot fly 100 feet (30 meters) higher and beyond the recorded home point.\u00a0\u00a0It also prevents camera tilt controls to allow new pilots to familiarize themselves with flying before adding more distance and camera control.\u00a0The Phantom 4 is set to beginner mode by default which is great news.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen Beginner mode is switched off, the Phantom 4 will default to a maximum flight altitude of 390 feet (120 meters) above the takeoff point.
