DJI Phantom 4 Pro is a professional quadcopter built around a 1-inch 20MP CMOS camera with a mechanical shutter and advanced FlightAutonomy. It records up to 4K/60fps at a maximum 100 Mbps (H.264) or 4K/30fps in H.265, flies for about 30 minutes, and uses an enhanced DJI Lightbridge HD link with dual‑band 2.4/5.8 GHz for reliable control and live view. Obstacle sensing covers the front, rear, and bottom via stereo vision, with additional side coverage via infrared sensors, and intelligent modes like ActiveTrack, TapFly and Draw assist creative capture.

Advantages

  • 1-inch 20MP sensor with mechanical shutter reduces rolling‑shutter distortion in fast motion and during pans.
  • Professional video capture up to 4K/60fps (H.264) or efficient 4K/30fps (H.265) at 100 Mbps for high detail and grading latitude.
  • Robust obstacle sensing: forward, backward, and downward stereo vision plus side infrared sensors for added safety.
  • Approx. 30‑minute endurance with strong wind resistance and precise GPS/GLONASS positioning.
  • Dual‑band Lightbridge HD transmission with long 7 km FCC range and optional high‑brightness RC with integrated 5.5" screen for bright‑sun viewing.
  • Intelligent flight features (ActiveTrack, TapFly, Draw) to simplify complex shots and flight paths.

Based on DJI Support camera, sensing, flight, and transmission specifications. ([dji.com](https://www.dji.com/lt/support/product/phantom-4-pro))

Disadvantages

  • Non‑folding airframe is bulkier to transport compared with later Mavic‑style drones.
  • Side obstacle sensing uses infrared and is only active in Beginner/Tripod modes, not standard P‑mode.
  • Live view bandwidth is limited to 720p/30fps on the standard controller with typical latency around 220 ms.
  • Heavier platform (≈1388 g) requires registration and creates higher noise/visibility than sub‑250 g systems.
  • Model is discontinued with official after‑sales service ending in 2025, so new batteries and parts can be harder to source.
