The Phantom 4 is equipped with two optical sensors at the front that automatically detect obstacles. The drone automatically attempts to fly around these obstacles or brakes to avoid a collision. This function is also active when the drone automatically flies back to the owner. The technology behind this is already familiar from Intel's RealSense drone. Another new feature is the autopilot, which DJI calls ActiveTrack. The mode is activated via the control app and allows the Phantom 4 to automatically follow a selected object. For example, the drone can automatically follow a biker while the user controls the camera. The Phantom 4 camera films videos in 4K resolution as standard. A slow-motion mode is brand new: in this mode, the resolution is reduced to full HD, but the camera records 120 images per second. The camera drone will be available from the beginning of April. The price will be around 1800 francs.
