Professional functionality
DJI Phantom 4 Pro is equipped with an advanced camera with a 1-inch sensor and a resolution of 20Mp. It is able to shoot video in 4K / 60 frames per second resolution, as well as serial photography, at a rate of 14 frames per second. The elements of the titanium alloy structure give it reliability and durability, and the magnesium parts of the body, reminding that it is a fine aviation metal, have low weight and excellent stiffness characteristics. The FlightAutonomy system has acquired additional rear view sensors, as well as infrared sensors, to provide 5-sided obstacle detection and a 4-way system to evade them.
20Mp camera with 1-inch sensor
A new, improved camera, purchased an enlarged 1-inch 20-megapixel CMOS-matrix. The individually designed lens consists of eight elements in seven groups. This is the first DJI camera that uses a mechanical shutter, eliminating rolling-shutter distortions that are typical for fast-moving subjects (or high-speed flying). In fact, the Phantom 4 Pro is superior in quality to a lot of conventional compact cameras that use a 1 / 2.3-inch sensor. Moreover, it is capable of recording 4K H.264 video at a rate of 60 frames per second or H.265 at a rate of 30 frames per second and quality of up to 100 Mbps. And the advanced additional sensors and processor can guarantee you that it is shot in the highest quality and ready for further processing and installation.

Each detail of the camera, which made the famous Phantom 4, refined and improved in the Phantom 4 Pro. The physical dimensions of the matrix, its resolution, the image processor - all this made the Phantom 4 Pro the most powerful quadrocopter among the entire series. Also, users have the option to adjust the aperture value manually, for individually adjusting the depth of field.
The size of the sensor matters
This parameter is the most important for a quality picture, even more than the number of megapixels, because an enlarged sensor is capable of capturing more light. Hence, the improved dynamic range, which is almost 4 times greater than that of the Phantom 4 sensor. The Phantom 4 Pro, due to the increased physical pixel size, improved the contrast and the maximum ISO increased to 12800. This allows you to receive photos and video data in virtually any time of day, and also have a margin for quality in post-processing.

Optimization 4K
Improvements in the video processing system allow you to optimize the video captured by the camera, up to the high-end real DCI 4K / 60 (4096 x 2160/60 frames per second) and bitrate up to 100Mbit / s. This makes it possible to get high-quality delayed video or even provides an opportunity to get a photo from each frame. An additional tool for improving video quality is the H.265 format used, which is capable of transmitting a video stream of much improved quality. To record video with the maximum dynamic range, use the D-log mode - it will allow you to maximize all the shades of color.

High Resolution Lens
Such characteristics as resolution and contrast are among the most important values for image quality, and basically they depend on the lens. The Phantom 4 Pro uses a quality set of 8 lenses to produce bright and clear photos and videos, with great resolution. The lens used is specially optimized for aerial photography, has f / 2.8 aperture characteristics and an equivalent focal length of 24mm. Also in its design, 2 aspherical elements are applied, which made it possible to make the entire lens compact and high-quality. As a result of all the improvements and high-quality optics, you get a detailed image, with minimal distortion levels (distortion and dispersion). Moreover, for the first time at DJI we publish MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) results, characterizing the quality of optics at the scientific level.
Every moment is important
In addition to beautiful landscapes with the help of Phantom 4 Pro, you can shoot various sports events and many other dynamic events. Historically, such shooting scenarios have always been a major problem for "flying cameras", since the widespread use of the electronic shutter caused a number of artistic problems with the display of details shot at high speed. The Phantom 4 Pro uses a mechanical shutter and a large diaphragm opening, which allows you to forget about this shortcoming of past generations of cameras. The shutter can operate at a speed of 1/2000 seconds and prevents the appearance of the rolling-shutter effect. To obtain a serial photograph at 14 frames per second in a resolution of 20Mp, an electronic shutter can be used, capable of operating at 1/8000 seconds.
Sample pictures
5-way obstacle detection system
The FlightAutonomy system in the Phantom 4 Pro is expanded with additional high-resolution visual stereo sensors that are mounted on the rear of the chassis and supplement the same front and side-mounted infrared sensors. This system allows you to detect obstacles in 5 directions.
6 cameras for navigation system operation
All three pairs of sensors form a navigation system that relies on the data of 6 cameras and which are permanently included to calculate the distance from the drone to the object. Such equipment allows the Phantom 4 Pro to perform some maneuvers even without the use of GPS. Common opportunities to overcome obstacles allow you to reach the speed drones up to 50 km / h, while avoiding possible collisions.

Flight Autonomy System
<iframe width="948" height="450" src="
This is a sophisticated intelligent system for flight automation. It relies on the data of dozens of components, including all cameras, dual-band satellite navigation (GPS and GLONASS), ultrasonic rangefinders, IMU-sensor, compass and several specially developed computer computing cores.
Infrared sensor system
Phantom 4 Pro is the first drone of DJI, which uses an infrared sensor system. Is able to distinguish obstacles in a wide field of view at a distance of up to 7 meters.
Remote control with screen
A bright, 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1080p can provide brightness up to 1000k / m2, which is twice as much as the performance of conventional smart devices. The battery lasts for 5 hours of operation, and full application optimization ensures you a stable and fast operation with any data.
New video transmission system
The improved Lightbridge HD video signal transmission system is capable of operating at higher frequencies of 5.8 GHz and thus eliminates possible interference and delays in signal transmission. The radius of this system is up to 7 km.

wow.......what a awesome post...............
Awesome dude! I have the p4pro and right now I shoot some areal nature footage during my holiday in Italy and Switzerland ... maybe I can share some when I'm back home :-)
