Flight Controller

The Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ ight controller features several important upgrades. 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):

stereo Vision System and Infrared Sensing System to stabilize, avoid obstacles or track moving subjects. Advanced features such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.

When the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufcient, the maximum ight attitude angle is 25° with a maximum ight speed of 31 mph (50 kph). When forward obstacle sensing are disabled, the maximum ight attitude angle is 35° and the maximum ight speed is 36 mph (58 kph).

When the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions are too dark for the Forward and Downward Vision Systems, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control altitude.

Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve high speeds.

S-mode (Sport):

The maximum ight speed of the aircraft is increased to 45mph (72kph). Note that Obstacle Sensing

systems are disabled in this mode.

A-mode (Attitude):

barometer for positioning to control the altitude.

The forward and rear Vision System are 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 braking distance are significantly increased in S-mode

(Sport). A minimum braking 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 braking

distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft.

P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes GPS,

The handling gain values of the aircraft are adjusted to enhance aircraft maneuverability.

When neither the GPS nor the Vision System is available, the aircraft will only use its

Aircraft

Atti Mode Warning

The aircraft will enter A-mode in the following two instances:

Passive:

When there is weak GPS signal or when the compass experiences interference where the Vision

System is unavailable.

Active:

Users toggle the ight mode switch to A-mode.

In A-mode, the Vision System and some advanced features are disabled. Therefore, the aircraft cannot position or auto-brake in this mode and is easily affected by its surroundings, which may result in horizontal shifting. Use the remote controller to position the aircraft.

Maneuvering the aircraft in A-mode can be difcult. Before switching the aircraft into A-mode, make sure you are comfortable ying in this mode. DO NOT y the aircraft too far away as you might lose control and cause a potential hazard. Avoid ying in areas where GPS signal is weak, or in conned spaces. The aircraft will otherwise be forced to enter A-mode, leading to potential ight hazards, please land it in a safe place as soon as possible.

Return-to-Home (RTH)

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

in detail.

GPS

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

Home Point

location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( Less than 4 bars is considered a weak GPS signal). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.

The aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles when the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufcient. The aircraft will automatically climb up to avoid obstacles and descend slowly as it returns to the home point. To ensure the aircraft returns home forwards, it cannot rotate or y left and right during RTH while the Forward Vision System is enabled.

Failsafe RTH

The Forward Vision System allows the aircraft to create a real-time map of its ight route as it ies. 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 aircraft will plan its return route and retrace its original ight route home. The aircraft will hover for 10 seconds at its current location. When it regains signal connection it will wait for pilot commands. The Return-toHome process may be interrupted and the pilot given 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

65 feet (20 meters) radius of the Home Point. When the RTH altitude is set to more than 20 m and the aircraft is ascending between 20 m and the preset RTH altitude, the aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you push the throttle stick.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during Failsafe RTH if Forward Vision System is disabled.

It is important to set a suitable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI GO 4 app, tap GO FLY and tap to set the Failsafe Altitude.

User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to 65 feet (20 meters) from the

current altitude. However, user can press RTH button once to exit ascending and regain control.

Page 17

Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ User Manual

Smart RTH

Use the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO 4 app and follow the onscreen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. Use the remote controller to control the aircraft’s speed or altitude to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. As the aircraft returns, it will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 300m in front, allowing it to plan a safe route home. 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 4 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 4 app, and is described below:

The colored zones and markers on the battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated

remaining ight time. They are automatically adjusted according to the aircraft’s current location

and status.

Precision Landing

The Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ automatically scans and attempts to match the terrain features underneath during Return to Home. When current terrain matches home point terrain, the Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ will start landing immediately to achieve precision landing. The DJI GO 4 app will show a terrain feature mismatch prompt if matching fails.

Precision Landing performance is subject to the following conditions:

a) Home point is recorded upon take off, and cannot not be refreshed during ight. b) Aircraft must take off vertically. Take off altitude must be greater than 7 meters. c) Home point terrain features remain largely unchanged. d) Home point terrain with no distinctive features will affect the performance. e) Lighting conditions cannot be too light nor too dark.

The following actions are available during landing:

a) Pull throttle down to accelerate landing. b) Moving the control sticks in any other direction will stop Precision Landing. The Phantom 4

Pro / Pro+ will descend vertically and Landing Protection will remain active.

Aircraft

Failsafe Safety Notices

20 m

The aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH when the Forward Vision System is disabled. Therefore, it is important to set a suitable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI GO 4 app, tap GO FLY and tap to set the Failsafe Altitude.

If the aircraft is ying under 65 feet (20 meters) and Failsafe (including Smart RTH, Lower Battery RTH ) is triggered, the aircraft will first automatically ascend to 65 feet (20 meters) from the current altitude. You can only cancel the ascending by exiting the Failsafe.

Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft ies within a 65 feet (20 meters) radius of the Home Point. Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the left stick if the aircraft reaches 65 feet (20 meters) altitudes or beyond during Failsafe.

Page 19

Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ User Manual

Aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [ ] displays grey) or unavailable.

If you move the left stick after the aircraft rises above 65 feet (20 meters) but below the pre-set Failsafe RTH altitude, the aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point.

Aircraft

Obstacle Avoidance During RTH

Aircraft can now sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacles during RTH, provided that the lighting conditions are adequate for the Forward Vision System. Upon detecting an obstacle, the aircraft will act as follows:

1. The aircraft will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 984 feet (300 meters) in front,

allowing it to plan a safe route home.

2. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 49 feet (15 meters) ahead.

3.The 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.

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

altitude.

5 meters

300 meters

15 meters

The Obstacle Sensing function is disabled during RTH descent. Proceed with care. To ensure the aircraft returns home forwards, it cannot rotate during RTH while the Forward

Vision System is enabled.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles above, beside, or behind the aircraft.

Landing Protection Function

Landing Protection will activate during auto landing.

1. Landing Protection determines whether the ground is suitable for landing. If so, the Phantom 4 Pro /

Pro+ will land gently.

2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+

will hover and wait for pilot conrmation. The aircraft will hover if it detects the ground is not appropriate for landing even with a critically low battery warning. Only when the battery level decreases to 0% will the aircraft land. Users retain control of aircraft ight orientation.

3. If Landing Protection is inactive, the DJI GO 4 app will display a landing prompt when the Phantom 4

Pro / Pro+ descends below 0.3 meters. Tap to conrm or pull down the control stick for 2 seconds to land when the environment is appropriate for landing.

Page 20

Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ User Manual

• Landing Protection will not be active in the following circumstances:

a) When the user is controlling the pitch/roll/throttle sticks (Landing ground detection will

re-activate when control sticks are not in use)

b) When the positioning system is not fully functional (e.g. drift position error) c) When the downward vision system needs re-calibration d) When light conditions are not sufcient for the downward vision system

• If an obstacle is within 1-meter of the aircraft, the aircraft will descend to 0.3m above the ground and hover. The aircraft will land upon with user conrmation.

Tap the icon in the DJI GO 4 app to enable Tripod Mode. In Tripod Mode, the maximum ight speed is limited to 5.6 mph (9 kph) and the braking distance is reduced to 6.6 ft (2 m). Responsiveness to stick movements is also reduced for smoother more controlled movements.

Only use Tripod Mode where the GPS signal is strong or light conditions are ideal for the vision system. If GPS signal is lost and the vision system cannot function, it will automatically switch to Atti mode. In this case, ight speed will increase and the aircraft cannot hover in place. Use Tripod Mode carefully.

Terrain Follow Mode

The Downward Vision System is utilized in Terrain Follow Mode to maintain a height above ground between 1 and 10 meters. This mode is designed for use on grassland sloped at no more than 20°. Enable the Terrain Follow Mode by tapping the Intelligent Flight Mode icon in the DJI GO 4 app. When this mode is enabled, the aircraft’s current height will be recorded. The aircraft will maintain the recorded height during ight and ascend when the slope rises. However, the aircraft will not descend in downward slopes.

Page 28

Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ User Manual

It is important that you only fly in conditions where the Vision Position System can function

correctly; otherwise the Terrain Follow Mode will not work.

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System

The main components of the Vision System are located on the front, rear and bottom of the Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+, including [1] [2] [3] three stereo vision sensors and [4] two ultrasonic sensors. The Vision System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position, enabling precision hovering indoors or in environments where a GPS signal is not available. The Vision System constantly scans for obstacles, allowing the Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ to avoid them by going over, around, or hovering. The Infrared Sensing System consists [5] of two 3D infrared modules on both sides of the aircraft. These scan for obstacles on both sides of the aircraft and is active in certain ight modes.

Calibrating Sensors

Vision Systems cameras installed on the aircraft are calibrated on delivery. However these cameras are vulnerable to excessive impact and will require occasional calibration via DJI ASSISTANTTM 2 or the DJI GO 4 app. Follow the steps below to calibrate the camera.

Aircraft

Point the aircraft toward the screen

Align the boxes

Pan and tilt the aircraft

Quick Calibration

Use quick calibration when the DJI GO 4 app notify that vision sensor calibration is required. Tap through “Aircraft Status” -> “Vision Sensors” to start quick calibration.

Quick calibration is quick x to vision sensor issues. Connecting the aircraft to a computer to carry out a full calibration using DJI Assistant 2 is recommended when possible. Only calibrate when lighting conditions are adequate and on textured surfaces i.e. grass. Do not calibrate the aircraft on highly reective surfaces such as Marble or ceramics.

Using Vision Positioning

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the aircraft is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision System, the aircraft can hover precisely even without GPS.

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

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

2. Place the aircraft on a at surface. Note that the Vision 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 is ready. Gently push the left stick up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place.

Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ User Manual

Assisted Braking from Obstacle Sensing

Powered by the Obstacle Sensing, the aircraft will now be able to actively brake when obstacles are detected around the aircraft. Note that Obstacle Sensing function works best when lighting is adequate and the obstacle is clearly marked or textured. The aircraft must y at no more than 31mph (50kph) to allow sufcient braking distance.

The 3D Infrared Sensing System is only active in Beginner mode and Tripod Mode. Fly with

caution.

The performance of your Vision System and Infrared Sensing System are affected by the surface

being own over. Ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials and 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 System and Infrared Sensing System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations:

a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). b) Flying over a highly reective surfaces. c) Flying at high speeds of over 31mph (50kph) at 2 meters or over 11mph (18kph) at 1 meter. d) Flying over water or transparent surfaces. e) Flying over moving surfaces or objects. f) Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. g) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces. h) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). i) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. j) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiling). k) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft. l) Flying over obstacles with too small effective infrared reective surface. m) DO NOT position the sides of two aircraft toward each other to avoid interference between

the 3D infrared modules.

n) DO NOT cover the protective glass of the infrared module. Keep it clean and undamaged.

Keep sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect their effectiveness. Vision Positioning is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 10 meters. The Vision Positioning may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water. The Vision 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 System is in

operation.

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

emits high frequency sounds that are audible to some animals.

Flight

Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the ight simulator in the DJI GO 4 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 onboard 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

Flight

performance of the battery and aircraft may be affected.

6. The Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ 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) .

Maximum ight altitude & Radius Limits

Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO 4 app. Be aware that the maximum ight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings, your Phantom 4 Pro / Pro+ 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 4 app.

(1) Restricted Areas does not have ight altitude restrictions. (2) R miles around the designated restriction area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot take off

1 mile

within this zone. The value of R varies based on the denition of the restricted areas.

(3) A “warning zone” has been set around the Restricted Area. When the aircraft approaches within 0.062

miles (100 m) of this zone, a warning message will appear on the DJI GO 4 app.

100 m

When ying in No Fly zones, the aircraft's status indicator will blink red slowly and continue for 5

seconds, then switch to indicate the current ying status and continue for 12 seconds, at which point it will switch back to blinking red slowly.

For safety reasons, please do not y close to airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines,

city centers, or other sensitive areas. Fly the aircraft only within your line of sight.

OTG cable.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions in the DJI GO 4 app to upgrade. Ensure the Internet is available during upgrading.

4. Restart the aircraft after the rmware upgrade is complete.

Upgrading the Remote Controller Firmware

Method 1: Using the DJI GO 4 App

Power on the remote controller and connect it with the DJI GO 4 app. A prompt will appear if a new rmware upgrade is available. To start upgrading, connect a mobile device to the Internet and follow the on-screen instructions.

Method 2: Using a Micro SD Card (For Phantom 4 Pro+ only)

1. Visit the ofcial DJI website and go to the Phantom 4 Pro/Pro+ page, download the latest rmware to a Micro SD card.

2. Insert the Micro SD card into the Micro SD card slot of the remote controller.

is complete. Ensure the computer has access to the Internet. Ensure the battery level is adequate for the Intelligent Flight Battery and the remote controller. Do not disconnect the aircraft from the computer during rmware upgrade.

Intelligent Flight Mode

Intelligent Flight mode includes Course Lock, Home Lock, Point of Interest (POI), Follow Me and Waypoints features to assist users to capture professional shoots during the ight. Course Lock and Home Point lock ensure the lock of aircraft orientation, sparing the user to focus more on other operations. Point of Interest, Follow Me and Waypoints mode enable aircraft to y automatically according to the pre-set ight maneuvers.

Course Lock

Home Lock Pull the pitch stick backward to move the aircraft toward its recorded Home Point.

Point of Interest

Follow Me

Waypoints

Lock the current nose direction as the aircraft’s forward direction. The aircraft will move in the locked directions regardless of its orientation (yaw angle).

The aircraft will orbit around the subject automatically to allow the operator to be more focus on framing their shoot on the subject in Point of Interest.

A virtual tether is created between the aircraft and the mobile device so that the aircraft can track your movement as you move. Note that Follow Me performance is subject to the GPS accuracy on the mobile device.

Record a ight path, then the aircraft will y along the same path repeatedly while

you control the camera and orientation. The ight path can be saved and re-apply in

the future.
