Aircraft

Flight Controller

The Phantom 4’s ight controller features several important upgrades, including a new ight mode. Safety

modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the

control signal is lost. The ight controller can also save critical ight data from each ight to the on-board storage device. The new ight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.

Flight Mode

Three ight modes are available. The details of each ight mode are found below:

P-mode (Positioning)

and Obstacle Sensing System to automatically stabilize itself, navigate between

obstacles or track a moving object. Advanced features such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.

S-mode (Sport)

the maneuverability of the aircraft in S-mode. The maximum ight speed of the aircraft is increased to 20 m /s in this mode. Note that Obstacle Sensing

system is disabled in this mode.

A-mode (Attitude)

will only use its barometer for positioning to control the altitude.

The Obstacle Sensing System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will

not be able to automatically avoid obstacles in its ight path. Be vigilant and stay clear of nearby obstacles.

The aircraft’s maximum speed and breaking distance are signicantly increased in S-mode

(Sport). A minimum breaking distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless

conditions.

The aircraft’s responsiveness is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport), which means a small

stick movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft.

Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during ight.

The aircraft’s descent speed is signicantly increased in S-mode (Sport). A minimum breaking

distance of 50 meters is required in windless conditions.

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight

Mode Switch” on Page 33 for more information.

Return-to-Home (RTH)

The Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail.

GPS

Description

If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point

Home Point

is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( ). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.

Failsafe RTH

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The Returnto-Home process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote controller signal connection is re-established.

Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft ies within a 20

meters (65 feet) radius of the Home Point. Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle stick if the aircraft reaches 20 meters (65 feet) altitudes or beyond during Failsafe.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore, it is important to set an

suitable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter “Camera” and

select “MODE > Advanced Settings > Failsafe mode” to set the Failsafe altitude.

User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to its failsafe altitude. However,

user can press RTH button once to exit ascending and regain control.

Phantom 4 User Manual

Smart RTH

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to “RTH button” on page 33 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use the remote controller’s control sticks to control the aircraft’s position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

Low Battery RTH

Aircraft

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point.

The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI GO app, and is described below:

Obstacle Avoidance During FailSafe RTH

Aircraft can now sense and actively attempt to avoid obstale during FailSafe RTH, provided that the light condition is ideal for the Obstacle Sensing System. The details on how the aircraft will behave during obstacle avoid is listed below:

1. Aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 65 feet (20 meters) ahead.

2. Aircraft stops and hover then start ascending vertically to avoid the obstacle. Eventually, the aircraft will

stop climbing when it is at least 16 feet (5 meters) above the detected obstacle.

3. Failsafe RTH procedure resume, the aircraft will continue ying to the Home Point at the current

altitude.

Obstalce and Vision Positioning System

The Phantom 4 is equipped with an Obstacle Sensing System that constantly scans for obstacles in front of it, allowing it to avoid collisions by going around, over or hovering. The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help of Vision

Positioning, your Phantom 4 can hover in place more precisely and ﬂy indoors or in other environments

where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 4; they include [3] two ultrasonic sensors and [1] [2] four monocular sensors.

[1]

Phantom 4 User Manual

Detection Range

The detection range of the Obstacle Sensing and Vision Positioning System is depicted as follow. Note

that the aircraft cannot sense and avoid the obstacles that are not within the detection range.

Calibrating Front Sensors

Obstacles Sensing cameras that installed on landing gear are calibrated on delivery. However these

camera are vulnerable to excessive impact, hence it will require calibration via DJI Assistant 2 from time

to time. Follow the steps below to calibrate the camera when the DJI GO app prompt you to do so.

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

1. Toggle the ight mode switch to P-mode.

Aircraft

2. Place the aircraft on a at surface. Note that the Vision Positioning system cannot

work properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations.

3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will ash green two times, which

indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place.

Assisted Breaking from Obstacle Sensing System

obstacles are detected direct ahead of the aircraft. Note that Obstacle System works best when light

condition is ideal and the obstacle does not have feature-less pattern. In addition, the aircraft speed

cannot exceed over 8 meter/second so that the aircraft can break and stop at the safe distance.

The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is

ying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating

above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations:

Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). Flying over a highly reective surfaces. Flying at high speeds(over 10 m/s at 2 meters or over 5 m/s at 1 meter). Flying over water or transparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design). Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft.

Phantom 4 User Manual

Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness

of the sensors.

Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 10 meters.

The Vision Positioning System may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water. The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux).

Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation.

Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds..

Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar

sensor emits high frequency sounds that are only audible to some animals.

Flight Recorder

Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the aircraft to the PC through the Micro-USB port and launch the DJI GO app.

Attaching and Detaching the Propellers

Use only DJI approved propellers with your Phantom 4. The grey and black nuts on the propeller indicate where they should be attached and in which direction whey should spin. To attach the propellers properly, match the nut color with the motor axis color

Flight

This section describes safe ight practices and ight restrictions.

Flight

Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the ight simulator in the DJI GO app to hone your ight skills and practice ying safely. Ensure that all ights are carried out in an open

area.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10 m/s ,

snow, rain and fog.

2. Only y in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the on-

board compass and GPS system.

3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water.

4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations

and radio transmission towers.

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature.

Be very careful when ying at altitudes greater than 19, 685 feet (6000 meters) above sea level, as the

performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected.

6. The Phantom 4 cannot operate within the polar areas.

Flight Limits and No-Fly Zones

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government and

regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, ights are limited by default,

which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height limits, distance

limits, and No-Fly Zones. When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to

manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m) .

Flight

Maximum ight altitude & Radius Limits

Maximum ight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO app. Be aware that the maximum ight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 4 will y in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe/no-fly. No-Fly Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying elds where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include border lines between countries or sensitive institute. The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained as follow:

Airport

(1) Airport No-Fly Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones. Each

zone features circles of various sizes.

(2) R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around the airport is a Take-

off restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented.

(3) From R1 mile to R1 + 1 mile around the airport the ight altitude is limited to a 15 degree inclination.

Starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The ight altitude is

limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile

(4) When the aircraft enters within 320 feet (100 meters) of No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear

on the DJI GO app.

FAQ

What is ActiveTrack?

ActiveTrack allows an aircraft to track a moving subject without a separate GPS tracker. Simply tap on the

mobile device screen inside the DJI GO app to select the subject to be tracked. The aircraft will lock on the

subject and start tracking it automatically from a safe distance.

What is TapFly?

TapFly means you can y in any direction with a tap of the nger, without a remote controller. With Obstacle

Avoidance turned on, the aircraft will automatically avoid obstacles, slow down or hover when required,

provided that the scene is bright enough ( < 300 lux) or too bright ( > 10,000 lux).

What is the Phantom 4 Obstacle Sensing System?

The Phantom 4 is equipped with an Obstacle Sensing System that constantly scans for obstacles in front of

it, allowing it to avoid collisions by going around, over or hovering.

FAQ

Why does the Phantom 4 have a magnesium core?

The revolutionary magnesium core embedded into the aircraft greatly increases rigidity, minimizing

unwanted vibrations. This ensures the precision and performance of the inertial measurement unit (IMU).

The weight of the aircraft is also reduced through this magnesium core.

What changes were made to the Phantom 4 remote?

The Phantom 4 introduces a Sport mode, accessible through a new trio of modes, P, S and A.

P (Position) mode is the standard mode, giving access to normal ight as well as Intelligent Flight Modes,

ActiveTrack and TapFly.

S (Sport) Mode unlocks maximum ight speeds of up to 44mph (72kmh)

A (Attitude) Mode remains the same and removes satellite stabilization in ight. It allows the Phantom to

move more smoothly and naturally.

The ‘Playback’ button on the top right of the remote controller has been changed into a ‘Pause’ button that

lets you put the Phantom into hover during any Intelligent Flight Mode, ActiveTrack or TapFly with a tap.

What improvements have been made to the Phantom 4 Vision Positioning Unit?

The Vision Positioning System now uses four sensors to increase hovering accuracy and reliability, creating

a more controlled ying experience. Its sonar system has been improved and now functions from up to 10

meters off the ground. In ideal situations, these combine to give the Phantom 4 Vision Positioning System a

vertical hover accuracy of +/- 0.1 m and a horizontal hover accuracy of +/- 0.3 m.

What is the effective range of the Obstacle Sensing System on Phantom 4?

The effective range of the Obstacle Sensing System is 0.7 to 15 meters. Although the DJI GO app will indicate

when there are obstacles present, pilots should always be paying attention to the aircraft during ight.

Phantom 4 User Manual

Does Obstacle Sensing System work in all modes?

The Obstacle Sensing System can be enabled in ActiveTrack, TapFly, Normal mode and all Intelligent

Navigation functions.

What are the major improvements in the Phantom 4 propulsion system?

The motor on the Phantom 4 is designed to work with the latest Push-and-Release Propellers. With this

locking mechanism, propellers can withstand drastic changes of motor speed, allowing the aircraft to be

more agile and more responsive to the pilot command.

How many minutes of ight time can Phantom 4 achieve with the new Intelligent Flight Battery?

At sea level in calm environments when ying in ATTI mode, the Phantom 4 can achieve 28 minute ight

times. This will vary due to different ight patterns, weather conditions and altitudes.

What are the major differences between the Phantom 4 propellers and the Phantom 3 ones?

The new Push-and-Release propellers are faster to install and more secure than the Self Tightening

propellers used previously. This security allows them to handle faster acceleration and harder braking.

What makes the Phantom 4 gimbal better?

The gimbal and camera system is integrated into the body, bringing it closer to the aircraft’s center of

gravity. It is also made of a rigid and strong composite material

What makes the Phantom 4 camera better?

The Phantom 4 camera has been improved in terms of image quality. Chromatic aberration has been

reduced by 56% and lens distortion had been reduced by 36% compared to Phantom 3 Professional.

In addition to lens improvements, camera rmware has been tweaked to enable the camera to capture

120fps video in full 1080p FHD (the camera’s eld of view will be recongured to 47° when recording in

this mode) for smooth slow motion.

FAQ

Why add a redundant IMU and compass to the Phantom 4?

A redundant IMU and compass enhances system reliability. The Phantom 4 can constantly compare data

received from both IMUs and then navigate itself using the most accurate data. The same is true of the

redundant compasses.

What are the highlights of the Phantom 4 remote control and live feed?

The Phantom 4’s remote control and live feed is based on DJI Lightbridge technology, providing effective

control range of up to 3.1mi (5km) in unobstructed areas that are free from interference. Its HD live feed

gives you an exact view of your ight, perfect for composing shots.

Does the Phantom 4 have Return-to-Home?

Yes. It also has Smart Return Home which engages the Obstacle Sensing System during return to home

ight. If the aircraft sees an obstacle on its way back, it will intelligently avoid it as it comes home.

Phantom 4 User Manual

What’s the purpose of the Sport Mode?

Giving a top speed of 44.7mph (72Kph), Sport mode can be used for fun, letting you y faster than ever, or

to get to your shoot location while the light is perfect.

What’s the horizontal speed of Phantom 4 in ATTI Mode?

The horizontal speed of the Phantom 4 in ATTI mode is 44.7mph (72kph).

What is the difference between Sport Mode and ATTI Mode?

Though Phantom 4 can y up to 44.7mph in both Sport Mode and ATTI Mode, Phantom 4 will use GPS/

Glonass and its Vision Positioning System to achieve precision while hovering. In ATTI Mode, GPS and

Vision Positioning System will not function to aid the aircraft in terms of hovering or navigation.

In ActiveTrack, how do you untrack the subject? What happens to the aircraft after you stop

tracking?

Tap the Stop button on the left of the screen or pull the pitch stick backward for 3 seconds to exit

FAQ

ActiveTrack. After exiting, the aircraft will hover in place. At this point you may choose to start a new

mission or bring the aircraft back to the Home Point.

How small an object can the Obstacle Sensing System see?

The minimum pixel size that the Obstacle Sensing system can see is 500 pixels.

What is ActiveTrack’s minimum altitude?

ActiveTrack will work down to 9ft (3m) above the ground.
