Nearly a year after announcing that "a shortage of parts" meant it would no longer be able to produce its Phantom drones, DJI has brought the lineup back from the dead and is once again selling the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0.
On September 21st, 2017, a DJI Phantom 4 camera drone flying recreationally near Brooklyn, New York, collided with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter. The chopper received a 1.5-inch dent on one of its main rotor blades, but it was able to land safely.
While shooting for two weeks in Hawaii last month, Israeli photographer Erez Marom's drone had an Icarus experience. Marom flew his $1,500 DJI Phantom 4 camera drone too close to lava flows and accidentally melted part of the camera. He was able to capture some gorgeous photos of lava up-close, though.
Say hello to the "Rolls Royce" of camera drones. You can now buy a DJI Phantom 4 that's plated with 24 karat gold for the low, low price of about $24,000.
This gorgeous video was captured by Le Cut Studio with a DJI Phantom 4 flying high above Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia. It shows a lone seal swimming (fishing, really) through a massive school of fish just below the surface of the water.
DJI today unleashed the Phantom 4, a powerful successor to the widely popular Phantom 3. The Phantom 4 is an intelligent camera drone that can fly itself, using computer vision to dodge obstacles and track subjects.
