The DJI Phantom Aerial UAV Drone Quadrocopter for Go Pro literally takes photography to new heights. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, or UAV, aims to ease the process of capturing aerial images. Aerial pictures are a task to capture. Photographers who seek to invest in a good aerial camera will want to know if this one is up to the mark. For a start, they will want to know what features set it apart from ordinary cameras. This quadrocopter, like all others produced by DJ Innovations, has a set of features that help photographers capture outstanding images from the air. The DJI Phantom Aerial UAV drone for Go Pro is a complete quadrocopter with a user-friendly, ready-to-fly design. There is no need for complex, pre-flight tuning. >>Check out the price of DJI Phantom for GoPro on Amazon<< The radio transmitter has a long-range of 580 feet, allowing the device to capture images over a wide area. This UAV captures sharp images by itself, but pictures are even more dazzling with the help of a Go Pro camera.

The advanced GPS positioning feature allows this UAV to fly outdoors. This helps photographers track the quadrocopter’s location if it hovers too far away. This device has a fail-safe feature that prompts it to return to its take-off point should it lose connection with the transmitter. This useful feature prevents loss or damage. This quadrocopter takes high-definition, cinema quality aerial pictures, a boon for photographers who find capturing such visuals extremely trying. Via software, the Naza M Auto Pilot system allows photographers to configure the device to fly without them toggling with the controls on the transmitter. The UAV can thus function independently. This UAV can fly for 15 minutes on a complete charge. This gives the photographer time to capture quality images. The Intelligent Orientation Control feature allows this aerial UAV drone to fly in an intended direction. This feature prevents it from veering off-course and becoming lost. A useful feature is its settings, adjustable in mid-air.

Photographers do not need to deliberately land the device to change its orientation. Apart from its user-friendly functions, this UAV has a set of specifications that make it effective. Measuring 17 by 17 by 8 inches, this device is far from bulky. Lightweight, it weighs merely 2.2 pounds. It needs only 3.12 W of power. It communicates with its user over 1 km, at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, so it is less likely to become lost. Photographers can program the device over seven different channels, giving them more control over it. This UAV is an efficient photographer’s tool in many ways. Those who already have Go Pro Cameras will find new ways to use them. By attaching them to the DJi Phantom Aerial UAV Drone for Go Pro, a photographer can now exploit them fully. Go Pro cameras have long battery lives and high durability. They capture and save excellent, high-definition images. By combining them with the DJI Phantom Aerial UAV drone, photographers can harness these benefits and take better quality, aerial images.

Windows users who constantly update their devices will find this UAV a boon. Updating is easy, with compatible firmware upgrades. This quadrocopter is affordable, despite its user-friendly features, on Amazon.remote control drone ipad Apart from the fail safe function and the advanced GPS feature that keeps it in flight, the DJI Phantom Aerial UAV drone has two intelligence orientation functions. remote control drone gpsThe device always moves to the left when the photographer makes a left turn, with no miscalculation. turbo drone quadcopter awesome indoor outdoor quadrocopterThis gives users, especially newbies, better control of the devicex rebirth drone observateur

A last draw is DJ Innovations’ reliable after sales service. Professionals are on hand constantly should customers need help with their UAVs.

Joysticks give a photographer greater manual control of his device. There is no perfect electronic device. Like all devices, THE DJI Phantom Aerial UAV drone for Go Pro has its flaws. Photographers who use Mac OS X devices will find upgrading this UAV a hassle. Though there is available software for Windows users, Mac users will find searching for software updates more difficult. Charging the quadrocopter for its first use takes around 12 hours.

The time needed will decrease the more photographers use the device. Checking that the UAV is ready for use is essential. Green indicators show users that they can launch it. They should never allow it to fly otherwise. This device takes getting used to. Apart from the battery needing a longer first charge, controlling and flying the device takes a little practice. With only one user pamphlet, photographers may become frustrated with sketchy instructions. Since the device is not easy to use at first, this is a hurdle budding photographers need to overcome. After examining its pros and cons, it is time to give a verdict on the DJI Phantom Aerial UAV Drone for Go Pro.Shopping around for an aerial platform? Odds are you’ve heard of drone manufacturers like DJI, 3D Robotics, and you may have even heard that . But if you haven’t heard of , you’re missing out on some high-quality aerial platforms that may very well be the perfect fit for your recreational (or business) needs.

A pioneer in electric aviation, Yuneec has been around since 1999 and holds hundreds of patents. These days, they’re manufacturing more than one million units per year. Next to drone powerhouse manufacturers like DJI, 3D Robotics, and Parrot, Yuneec holds a top position in the UAV industry and continues to impress me with their product innovations (and their quick-to-pick-up Flight Team Extra Support phone line). Yuneec offers a number of entry-level quadcopter drones for those looking to take their aerial photography / videography needs, whether in real estate, agriculture, 3D mapping/modeling, etc. to the next level: For an in-depth look at 3D mapping/modeling, check out our Mapping and 3D Modeling 101 training course. In this post, we’ll be taking a closer look at the , their only model that’s fit specifically for a GoPro action camera. In that regard, the Typhoon G could be compared to the , or the drones, both of which are built specifically to house a GoPro.

First, let’s start with the basics. The Yuneec Typhoon G boasts: I’ve got to say, this was one of the quickest, easiest, and most straightforward unboxing experiences I’ve had with an advanced aerial platform. There are basic multicopters, and then there are more advanced systems like the Yuneec Typhoon G. I’ve flown dozens of training multicopters, and those are all easy to get started with, but typically, when you’re talking about more advanced aerial systems, there’s a lot of reading, calibrating, software installation, etc. before getting started. The Yuneec Typhoon G came in a padded box, each accessory bagged and organized. Once I had charged the battery for about 30 minutes, I took it outside, powered on the aircraft first, then the transmitter, and then was airborne less than a few minutes later. Here’s a video that walks through the setup process: As far as advanced aerial platforms go, this model was really easy to get started with.

Like other advanced aerial platforms, the Yuneec Typhoon G comes with a few different flight modes and configurations I’d like to point out. Note: these aren’t ALL the modes, just a few I ended in my test flights. On the side of the ST10 transmitter, you’ve got an option to flip between a turtle and a rabbit. This sets the speed of your directional control, meaning that when you throttle your drone up into the air, if it’s on turtle speed, it’ll rise up slowly, and if it’s on rabbit, it’ll rise up much faster. The same goes for yawing left and right, or pitching and rolling. Smart mode is good for first-time pilots and also features Follow Me, which I’ll write more about below. In Smart mode, the Typhoon G will always move in the direction the right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot (and no matter which way the front/nose is pointed). So if you push the stick to the left TYPHOON will always move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointing and even if it’s spinning.

This mode can be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode. The Follow Me function enables the drone to follow the pilot, adjusting its location to the location of the ST10+ transmitter. In Follow Me function, the aircraft will maintain a constant altitude and cannot detect obstacles. Pilots who change their altitude by for example, moving to higher ground, during flight should be mindful of this. Here’s an example of Follow Me in action: Hat tip to roosterscreations for shooting the video. Note that while the Typhoon Q500 4K is being used in the video instead of the Typhoon G which is being reviewed in this post, the Follow Me functionality is exactly the same. Angle Mode is the preferred mode of experienced multicopter pilots. In this mode, the Typhoon G will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the aircraft. So, if you push the right-hand stick to the left (and the drone is facing away from you), the drone will bank toward the left side and move to the left.

If the front/nose is pointing at you, the drone will move to the right. When you’ve got a suitable GPS lock, even in Angle Mode the Typhoon G will self-level and hold its position and altitude when the right-hand stick is centered. As long as you’ve got a GPS lock, Home Mode enables the drone to fly in a straight line in the direction of the pilots’ current location. It’ll then automatically land within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the pilot. This can be very helpful for first-time pilots who aren’t quite ready to land the Typhoon G themselves. But of course, you have to have open space for this mode to work. One thing I did in my training–I was on the verge of losing orientation and switched to Home Mode so the drone flew back toward me. Then, once I confirmed orientation I switched the Typhoon G BACK to Angle Mode and landed it manually. If you’re looking to purchase your first serious aerial platform, either for recreational or business purposes, and you already own or like working with the GoPro cameras, then I’d highly recommend taking a look at the Yuneec Typhoon G.
