The sexiest drone that DJI ever designed!

Today, DJI announces its next evolution in UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems), updating it with new hardware, a new look, and new functionality. The brand new Phantom 4 continues the heritage of the Phantom line, and improves it in many ways. The newest generation is built around a magnesium core for rigidity and strength, while achieving a light weight for efficient movement during flight and extended flight times. The sleek chassis is aerodynamically shaped to minimize excess movement caused by air currents. In sport mode, the combination of the light weight and aerodynamic chassis the Phantom 4 can reach speeds of up to 72 km/h.

Revolutionary Materials and Refined Aerodynamics

A new, specially designed, magnesium core increases the stiffness and rigidity of the Phantom 4 without compromising weight. Working in tandem with the battery, it lifts the center of gravity closer to the level of the props which increases agility and responsiveness. This is all placed within a sleek and aerodynamically efficient shell.

Multiple Flight Modes

Switching flight modes to meet your needs, whether you are looking for simplicity and intelligent navigation, speed or smooth cinematic movements is easy.

Fly Far for Longer

Fly for 28 minutes, an increase in effective flight time of 25% from the Phantom 3 Professional. Enjoy 3.1mi (5km) of range, with complete control and a live 720p HD view of everything the camera sees.

This Evolution features:

  • Gimbal-Stabilized 4K Camera
