DJI, the world’s leading drone maker, has recently announced the availability of the Phantom 4 drone and its Micro Four Thirds (MFT) handheld camera called the Osmo RAW in India. Osmo RAW motion camera is a successor to Osmo X5R with several advanced features.
Phantom 4 and Osmo RAW are priced at Rs 1,21,000(plus taxes) and Rs 3,00,000(plus taxes) respectively and will be officially distributed via AVCS Systems India Pvt. Ltd. AVCS will also handle after sales service for all DJI products. Both of these devices work with the DJI GO app as well as their own control systems.
Unlike the earlier Osmo, which came with Zenmuse X3, the new Osmo comes with Zenmuse X5 series which includes the X5 and X5R. This series brings a Micro Four Thirds Sensor to the table along with the interchangeable lenses and the ability to shoot uncompressed 4k video. The Osmo RAW comes with a built-in 512GB SSD for storing your uncompressed video footage. The X5R gimbal can be easily fitted to the Osmo’s handgrip and is compatible with a variety of lens from Olympus and Panasonic.
The Phantom 4 drone is an improvised version of the Phantom 3, making it a lot more user friendly. In previous models the user can control its movements through controllers only but now with new drone the movements can be controlled directly from the mobile screen.
Some new ways to control the drone have also been introduced. Now the GPS feature have been upgraded with a new feature called Active Tracking. This feature allows the drone to follow an object by drawing a box around it, the drone automatically adjusts its movement as well as camera angle and pan dynamically, while keeping the object at the centre of the frame. If there is no specific object to be tracked ,drone can be set to move in a particular direction continuously, it will automatically detect obstacles on the way at a distance of 15 meters or less and figures out a way around.
Number of hardware upgrades have also been made. Keeping the design language same the DJI has made the device sleeker with thinner arms. The battery life has been increased to 28 minutes. The overall stability of the camera has been improved, and now the stable shots can be taken even with a lot of action. Resolution wise, the camera can click 12MP RAW JPEG and 4k videos can be shot at 30fps,and FHD videos at 120fps.
Out of the two processing units in drone ,one is dedicated to obstacle avoidance. The sports mode helps in obstacle avoidance and ground detection and boosts the maximum speed up to 44mph.
A point that is of utmost importance is that drones aren’t publicly legal in India right now. Although one can own one and use it in own private premises but the exact permits are being worked out.
