The king of drones has unleashed its latest release in the DJI Phantom 4 Pro. Yup, it’s done so right after the unveiling of its new Mavic Pro drone. So surely they’re very different.
Indeed there are differences but when it comes to specs they’re actually quite similar – and that’s a good thing. Many advances in the Mavic Pro that made the Phantom 3 look less appealing now appear in the new Phantom 4 Pro.
So which is the drone for you? Here are the key features and differences you need to know between the DJI Phantom 4 Pro and the Mavic Pro.
Obstacle avoiding system of Phantom 4 Pro is on an entirely different level compared to the Phantom 4 and Mavic Pro. It has cameras in the back and infrared sensors on the sides to give it 360-degree obstacle avoidance. With all of these new sensors, you can now fly backward, forwards and even sideways with more confidence that you won’t crash. It can also travel 10 MPH faster in than the other two drones with obstacle avoidance turned on.
Besides the safety benefits, the Phantom 4 Pro also has a new intelligent flight mode called Draw. In this mode, you literally draw a line on the screen, and the go app will generate a flight path which it then overlays on the screen. Using the draw mode, the drone will fly on a set path, and you’re free to pan and tilt the camera.
The Phantom 4 Pro takes the lead with a top speed of 45 mph, which lasts for 30 minutes on a charge and can hit a height of 6,000 metres. Comparatively, the Mavic Pro hits 40 mph top speed, which lasts for a decent 27 minutes on a single charge and tops out at 5,000 metres.
Both feature Gesture Mode that lets you wave to activate the camera so you can take a selfie without the need to actually use the controller. Ascent and descent speeds are a little faster on the Phantom 4 Pro.
But the Mavic Pro folds down into a handheld compact unit that fits in its own safety case and weighs just 734 g. While, the Phantom 4 Pro, owing to its fixed size and shape, is less portable. It’s also heavier at 1,388 g.
Without a shadow of a doubt the Phantom 4 Pro produces far superior images to the Mavic Pro. I was impressed by the footage you could capture and it’s amazing to think just how good it is considering it’s essentially a consumer product (despite having the word Pro at the end of it). With an improved camera, higher bit rate codec, as well as a host of safety features and flight modes, the Phantom 4 Pro sets a new standard for drones at this price point. But if you want to travel freely I think Mavic Pro is no doubt the best choice for you.
