DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus V2.0

Key features of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0

Camera With 1-Inch 20MP Sensor

The onboard camera has been redesigned to use a 1-inch 20-megapixel CMOS sensor. The custom engineered lens is made up of eight elements is arranged in seven groups. 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. powerful video processing supports H.264 4K videos at 60fps or H.265 4K at 30fps, both with a 100Mbps bitrate. Advanced sensors and processors ensure everything is captured with more image detail and the image data needed for advanced post-production.

5-Direction Of Obstacle Sensing

Flight Autonomy is expanded with an additional set of high-resolution stereo vision sensors placed at the rear, in addition to the pair placed at the front. Combined with the infrared sensing systems placed on the left and right sides, this network creates a total of 5-direction of obstacle sensing and 4-direction of obstacle avoidance. This provides enhanced protection for the Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 from more obstacles, giving filmmakers the confidence to capture images from more complex perspectives.

Remote Controller With Built-In Screen

The Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 remote controller is equipped with an OcuSync transmission system and can be connected to DJI Goggles wirelessly for immersive FPV flight at up to 72 kph in S-mode. The Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 is compatible with two remote controller types: the standard version and the built-in screen version. Both can switch between 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz frequency bands with a maximum controllable range of 4.3mi (7km) (unobstructed, free of interference, FCC compliant), and both can focus by halfpressing the shutter release button. The Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 controller has a 5.5-inch 1080p display, with 1000 cd/m2 brightness and built-in DJI GO 4 app. Its remote controller is also equipped with an HDMI port, Micro SD slot, microphone, loudspeaker, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Intelligent Flight: 

Draw: Draw is a brand new technology for waypoint control. Simply draw a route on screen and the Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 will move in that direction while keeping its altitude locked. This allows the pilot to focus on camera control and enables more complex shots. There are two Draw modes that can be used in different scenarios; ‘Standard’ mode allows the aircraft to follow the route at a constant speed with the camera facing in the direction of flight. ‘Free’ mode communicates with the aircraft to move along the route when instructed. In this mode, the camera can face in any direction during a flight.

ActiveTrack: The Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 automatically recognizes subjects, follows and captures them as they move, making it easier to get complex shots. Following fast-moving objects can be very challenging, but advanced image recognition algorithms used by the Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 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.

TapFly: Fly 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. A new AR route function shows the aircraft’s 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+ V2.0 or tilt the gimbal as required without changing the direction of flight. In total, there are now three TapFly modes:

TapFly Forward – Tap to fly in the selected direction
TapFly Backward – 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. 
TapFly Free – Lock the forward direction of the Phantom without locking the camera direction allowing it to turn as it flies.
*Obstacle Avoidance is not available with TapFly Free

Return to Home: In its upgraded Return to Home mode, the Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 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. 

Gesture Mode: Using Gesture Mode, selfies can be captured easily using a few gestures without the remote controller. Advanced computer vision technology allows the Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 to take instructions through gestures. All the subject needs to do is lift their arms whilst facing the camera and the aircraft will recognise the movement and respond by locking on and placing the subject in the middle of the frame.

Flight Performance: 

Flight Modes: Different productions require different flight characteristics,. The Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 offers three modes for flight: P (position), A (altitude) and S (sport). Switching between them allows pilots to get the control they need, whether they seek smoothness, simplicity, intelligent navigation or speed. In Position Mode, TapFly, ActiveTrack, obstacle sensing and positioning features are available. Sport Mode adds extra agility and higher speed, reaching 45mph (72kph).

4.3mi (7km) Long-Range Control: Using brand new DJI Lightbridge HD video transmission technology, the Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 has a maximum transmission range of 4.3i (7km). Before each flight, it scans a range of available frequencies to find and use the one with the least interference.

Sensor redundancy: The Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 features dual compass modules and dual IMU units, making it more reliable when compared to many hexacopters and octocopers. The data is received through each sensor before being processed through an advanced algorithm that checks the sensors accuracy. Any inaccurate data is discarded in a way that does not affect the flight, keeping the aircraft steady and reliable.

Intelligent batteries: Professional aerial imaging benefits from longer flight times. The Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 has a maximum flight time of 30 minutes, providing more time in the air to capture the perfect shot. The DJI GO app shows battery lifetime and calculates remaining flight times according to distance traveled and more. It will give alerts when it reaches a minimum safe amount required for a safe journey back to the takeoff point. An advanced battery management system is also in place to prevent overcharging and over draining. When placed in longer term storage, batteries will discharge power to maintain good health.

DJI GO: When shooting aerials, the remote controller is responsible for most physical controls including piloting and capture. However, more challenging shoots require a real-time video feed, vital flight statistics and advanced settings. These are traditionally handled through a smart device, making the smart device essential to aerial imaging. The DJI GO app is optimized for aerials and is updated along with the aircraft to ensure all features are supported. It can be used on smart devices and is available to be integrated into the DJI CrystalSky monitor, providing simple and convenient control.
