Phantom 4 Pro Drone release date news: Preorders available; excellent specs but pricey

Everyone is going crazy about Phantom 4 Pro right now. It is a major improvement to the Phantom 4 and it is made to impress all the drone-crazy fanatics. Take a look at the newly released gadget and see if it is worth the budget.

Phantom 4 Pro has just been released and it is positioned to be greater than ever. Considering that DJI named it "Pro," it means that the drone is installed with premium specs. One example is its 20-megapixel (MP) camera sensor that is one inch in size. It has the ability to capture slow-motion-ready 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (fps), aside from bit rates at a maximum speed of 100 Mbps.

The one-inch size sensor implies that it can deliver 11.6 stops of range, which promises great shots even when a certain subject is backlit.

The drone is able to hover around places at 31 miles per hour without having to be trapped in an obstacle. The previous model would have to be set in Sport Mode in order to avoid crashing while flying fast, but the Phantom 4 Pro is installed with rear sensors so that obstacles can be avoided even if the users are backing up.

There is also a return-to-home feature that allows Phantom 4 Pro to have its paths retraced. This will ensure that little chances of crashing will happen, especially when a user loses connection to the remote. The introduction of the infrared sensors also enhances the drone's obstacle avoidance.

Filmmakers and enthusiasts appreciate Phantom 4 Pro's ability to fly around in a good 30 minutes. This would save their time taking excellent videos at the right time, without having to waste time charging the drone.

Phantom 4 Pro is available for preorders today. It necessitates a whopping $1,500 budget and requires a handset or a tablet to be used as a screen. A built-in display is also available, but it is set at $1,800, including the drone itself. Preorders will start shipping next week.
