Here at B&H Photo, we are happy to announce DJI’s newest drones. The Phantom 4 Pro Version 2, and the Phantom 4 Pro + Version 2. As with the first versions of the 4 Pro and 4 Pro +, the difference is in the included controller, with the controller of the Pro version having a clamp for a smartphone and the controller with the Pro + version integrating a view screen. Beyond that, the Phantom 4 Pro Version 2 and Phantom 4 Pro + Version 2 contains the same aircraft. The biggest change that the 4 Pro Version 2 has over the original version is the integration of Ocusync, the same system used in the Mavic, instead of Lightbridge for remote control and FPV.
Ocusync transmits high-quality video—supporting up to 1080p for close-range transmissions or 720 for long-range transmissions. It enables transmitting a signal up to 4.3 miles (line of sight), and can download photos and videos at up to 40 Mbps while in flight. Ocusync works with the DJI Go app, allowing you to stream live video to anyone running the app 720p. And, if you’re using the Pro+ Version 2 controller, you can now stream hi-res video at 1080p. The DJI Go app and Ocusync also provide you with real-time statistics of your aircraft. Yet another benefit of Ocusync is that it allows you to view your FPV video of your flight wirelessly on DJI’s goggles. That’s right, no more USB cable connections to worry about.
Are you looking forward to wirelessly live streaming your flight, and sharing it with others as it happens? Seems like a lot of fun, and a great way to let others share in your fun. Chime in below and let us know.
