The DJI Phantom 4 was officially announced on January 20, 2016.

It was a significant upgrade to the previous Phantom 3 series, with a new design and improved features.

One of the key features of the Phantom 4 was its obstacle avoidance system, which used sensors and cameras to detect and avoid objects.

The Phantom 4 also had a 12-megapixel camera, capable of shooting 4K video at 30 frames per second.

This drone was designed for professional use, but its advanced features made it appealing to hobbyists as well.

It was priced at $1,399 at launch, which was a bit steep for some users.

Phantom 4 Release Date

The DJI Phantom 4 is available for purchase right now from DJI's website.

You can also buy it from an Apple store, thanks to an exclusive deal that DJI had with Apple until the end of March 2016.

The Phantom 4 is now available from many retailers, including Heliguy, which is a UK-based store.

However, be aware that it won't be delivered for at least a couple of weeks, with the first Obsidian versions shipping in September 2017.

The DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2 is expected to be released in February 2024, although there's no official information available yet.

Here are the key specifications of the DJI Phantom 4:

The Phantom 4's flight time is a significant improvement over its predecessors, with a maximum time of 28 minutes.

Availability and Features

The DJI Phantom 4 is available for purchase, with a release date announced in March 2016.

The drone features a 12-megapixel camera with a mechanical shutter, allowing for better image quality and reduced rolling shutter effect.

It also includes a 3-axis gimbal for stable and smooth footage, and can shoot 4K video at 30fps.

The Phantom 4 has a maximum flight time of 28 minutes, and a maximum speed of 45mph.

Active Track

Active Track is a game-changer for drone enthusiasts, allowing users to track objects with ease.

The Phantom 4's Active Track mode uses intelligent cameras to lock onto human targets or small objects like a dog, creating a box around the subject with the app.

You can choose to lock onto anything, and the drone will keep tracking in real-time, even if the subject changes shape or turns while moving.

This mode is perfect for capturing perfectly-framed shots of moving joggers or cyclists, requiring only a tap on the subject on your smartphone or tablet to activate.

The Phantom 4 understands three-dimensional images and uses machine learning to keep the object in the shot, giving users full control over camera movement while in Active Track mode.

You can even move the camera around the object while it's in motion, and the drone will keep the subject framed in the center of the shot autonomously.

However, keep in mind that you'll lose the object's info when you turn off the drone, requiring it to reimage the object again when you turn it back on.

Additionally, the drone might lose track of the subject if the sun is shining too brightly into the camera, or if the subject tries to run under it too fast.

Availability with Apple

You can pre-order the product from Apple starting today, and it'll be available in-store on March 15th.

Pre-orders from other resellers like B&H will begin on March 23rd, with shipping expected on April 1st.

If you're worried about damage during normal use, Apple and DJI offer a service called DJI Care, which costs $230 for six months or $300 for a year.
