DJI Introduces New Era of Intelligent Flying Cameras
DJI Phantom 4 features obstacle avoidance, intelligent tracking
and a simplified flying experience
(INDIA, June 24, 2016) – DJI, the world’s leading maker of unmanned aerial vehicles,
demonstrated its latest flying camera in Delhi and Mumbai. The Phantom 4 is the first consumer
quadcopter camera (or “drone”) to use highly advanced computer vision and sensing technology
to make professional aerial imaging safer and easier for everyone.
The Phantom 4 expands on previous generations of DJI’s iconic Phantom line by adding new on-
board intelligence that make piloting and shooting great shots simple through features like its
Obstacle Sensing System, ActiveTrack and TapFly functionality.
“With the Phantom 4, we are entering an era where even beginners can fly with confidence,”
said Kevin On, Associate Director of Communications, DJI. “People have dreamed about one day
having a drone collaborate creatively with them. That day has arrived.”
The Phantom 4’s Obstacle Sensing System features two forward-facing optical sensors that scan
for obstacles and automatically direct the aircraft around the impediment when possible,
reducing risk of collision, while ensuring flight direction remains constant. If the system
determines the craft cannot go around the obstacle, it will slow to a stop and hover until the
user redirects it. Obstacle avoidance also engages if the user triggers the drone’s “Return to
Home” function to reduce the risk of collision when automatically flying back to its take off
With ActiveTrack, the Phantom 4 breaks new ground, allowing users running the DJI Go app on
iOS and Android devices to follow and keep the camera centered on the subject as it moves
simply by tapping the subject on their smartphone or tablet. Perfectly-framed shots of moving
joggers or cyclists, for example, simply require activating the ActiveTrack mode in the app.
The Phantom 4 understands three-dimensional images and uses machine learning to keep the
object in the shot, even when the subject changes its shape or turns while moving. Users have
full control over camera movement while in ActiveTrack mode – and can even move the camera
around the object while it is in motion as the Phantom 4 keeps the subject framed in the center
of the shot autonomously. A “pause” button on the Phantom 4’s remote controller allows the
user to halt an autonomous flight at any time, leaving the drone to hover.
By using the TapFly function in the DJI Go app, users can double-tap a destination for their
Phantom 4 on the screen, and the Phantom 4 calculates an optimal flight route to reach the
destination, while avoiding any obstructions in its path. Tap another spot and the Phantom 4 will
smoothly transition towards that destination making even the beginner pilot look like a
seasoned professional.
The Phantom 4’s camera, still the world’s best aerial-optimized 4K imaging device, has
undergone an upgrade that includes improved optics for better corner sharpness and reduced
chromatic aberration. The Phantom 4 also has DJI’s signature Lightbridge video transmission
system onboard, allowing users to see what their camera sees in HD and in real-time on their
smart devices at a distance up to five kilometers (3.1 miles).
The Phantom 4’s form factor, still the classic quadcopter style pioneered by DJI, has been
redesigned and redefined to emphasize elegance and smoother, more-aerodynamic lines. Its
frame incorporates a lightweight composite core to provide enhanced stability and more-agile
flight. The core now features a redesigned gimbal that provides more stability and vibration
dampening, and has been repositioned for a better center of gravity and to reduce the risk of
propellers getting in the shot.
Refinements to motor efficiency, power management and a new intelligent battery have
extended the Phantom 4’s flight time to 28 minutes, which means more time in the air to
capture professional photos and video.
DJI crafted the Phantom 4 with reliability in mind, including redundant inertial measurement
units (IMUs) and dual compasses onboard. It uses new push-and-lock propellers that are faster
to install and more secure in flight.
In addition to intelligence and ease-of-use, the Phantom 4 is built for fun. Its new “Sport Mode”
for advanced flyers gives a taste of what drone racing feels like. In “Sport Mode,” the Phantom 4
can fly 20 meters per second (45 miles per hour) and ascends and descends more rapidly than in
other modes. The craft’s acceleration and top speed in “Sport Mode” also mean it can reach
locations for shots faster and capture shots you couldn’t get before.
The Phantom 4’s retail price is INR121,000 and available at authorized dealers across India.

DJI Brings Micro Four-Thirds Imagery Back to Earth with the Osmo RAW
New accessories enhance imaging, stabilization and power-management
(INDIA, June 24, 2016) – DJI, the world’s leading aerial imagery company, demonstrated its best-
in-class Micro Four-Thirds Zenmuse X5R camera for use with the Osmo at a media event in India
today. The Osmo is the imaging stabilization system that has transformed handheld photography
and videography.
The new system, known as the Osmo RAW, uses the same technology on the Inspire 1 RAW aerial
to bring unmatched cinematic-quality stabilized video to the skies.
“When we launched the Osmo, we reimagined motion,” said Kevin On, Associate Director of
Communications, DJI. “With the DJI Osmo RAW, we’ve gone even further. Now, creators and
filmmakers will no longer have to choose between image quality and image stability, no matter
from what perspective they’re shooting.”
The X5R will attach to the Osmo handle via an adaptor and store video on a removable 512GB
solid-state drive. Gimbal motors will ensure image stability on three axes, with pan and tilt
functions accessible either by using the Osmo’s thumb stick or through the DJI GO app. Users can
also control the X5R’s focus and aperture inside the iOS or Android app or using an optional DJI
Focus unit.
The X5R is the world’s smallest, lossless 4K camera optimized for aerial imaging. It has 12.8 stops
of dynamic range, an ISO range from 100 to 25,600, and a still-image resolution of 16 megapixels.
The X5R features interchangeable lens options, with video bitrates averaging 1.7Gbps, with a
maximum of 2.4Gbps. The X5R records CinemaDNG files and offers a new D-LOG mode with a
broader array of color correction options in post production.
Also available for the Osmo system is the Micro Four-Thirds X5 camera and gimbal, called the
Osmo Pro. It uses the same adaptor as the X5R, providing superior, stabilized video and top-
quality photo imagery.
The price of the Zenmuse X5R and Zenmuse X5 is now available at DJI authorized dealers across
India at INR310,000 and INR189,000 respectively. The X5/X5R adapter for the Osmo is available
at INR9,000.
DJI also introduced two new power-managementsolutionsfor power users of theOsmo, including
a higher-capacity battery that offers up to 96 minutes of shooting time at 4K resolution, an
increase from up to 66 minutes using the standard Osmo battery. With the Osmo Pro, shooting
time with the higher-capacity battery is up to 78 minutes, compared with up to 60 minutes with
the original Osmo battery. Shooting time on the Osmo RAW is up to 37 minutes with the new,
higher-capacity battery and up to 26 minutes with the original Osmo battery.
Users can charge their batteries with the standard Osmo charger or use an optional intelligent
four-battery charger that will fully charge both original and higher-capacity batteries
simultaneously. Four higher-capacity Osmo batteries will charge fully in around 120 minutes.
Using DJI’s new, extended battery means even more shooting time with the Osmo. This solution
is ideal for video journalists, photographers and filmmakers who spend hours in the field and
filmmakers who require multiple takes of a scene or who set a rigorous full-day production
schedule.
The battery-shaped power adaptor fits into the Osmo handle and connects to either a dedicated
DJI power charger or a DJI Intelligent Battery. Itsupports five different DJI AC charger units, three
models of DJI car chargers and six varieties of DJI drone and Ronin batteries that offer shooting
times up to 14 hours on the Osmo, up to 11.7 hours on the Osmo Pro and just under five-and-a-
half hours for the Osmo RAW. Shooting times will differ, depending on the type of battery used.
