UPDATE12:\u00a0<\/strong>Front anti-collision sensors confirmed!<\/strong>\u00a0Well if we didn’t need further proof that the DJI Phantom 4 was launching on Tuesday, March 1st, here is a photo taken of the DJI Go App with the Phantom 4 ready for connection. There are a couple of very interesting things in this leaked\u00a0image:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Look at the two front Vision Detection Sensors (visual cameras). At a minimum with these frontal sensors in addition to the larger VPS Sensors at the bottom of the drone, giving it the ability to sense and detect obstacles in flight. We will have anti-collision capabilities for the front and bottom of the aircraft.<\/li>\n
  2. The propellers shown give us the best look so far at the way they are mounted to the Phantom 4. The wider propeller base makes room for a quick-release mechanism allowing for faster propeller installation.<\/li>\n
  3. Compared to the earlier leaked images of the Phantom 4 (see below) the camera has been slimmed up a bit. It is no longer as bulky as seen in the previous images.<\/li>\n
  4. The message scrolling at the bottom of the screen mentions the Front sensors and how they should be turned off for certain types of flying (perhaps at night).<\/li>\n
  5. In addition to all this, the top of the Phantom 4 will have no vents, except maybe tiny slots on the tops of the motor cans. This will make the quadcopter more weather resistant than the previous models.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a>This may very well be a beta app photo taken as we’re pretty sure DJI won’t release just one model type of the Phantom 4 Series. We expect at least two models at launch, similar to the Professional and Advanced of the Phantom 3.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    UPDATE11:\u00a0<\/strong>We analyzed the leaked images of the Phantom 4 battery compartment and compared it to our Phantom 3 Professional. The body of the Phantom 4 is quite taller than the Phantom 3 in order to house the new large battery and all the other internal components. The VPS System and Anti-Vibration Board and the yaw gimbal motor have been moved inside the Phantom 4 shell.\u00a0We knew the battery is going to be bigger, but didn’t realize just how huge this new Phantom 4 battery was going to be!
    \nFor the following two images, we took our Phantom 3 Professional and overlayed the battery compartment from the leaked Phantom 4 photo (scroll down to see original). Then we overlayed the original Phantom 3 battery compartment to showcase the huge size difference.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"Phantom4_vs_Phantom3_battery\"<\/a>The DJI Phantom 4 battery is clearly massive compared to the 15.4v 4S 4480mah Phantom 3 battery.<\/p>\n

    \"2nd-batt-comp\"<\/a>Another comparison showing just how large the Phantom 4 battery is. We expect at least a 2-3x size increase in battery size.<\/p>\n

    UPDATE10:\u00a0<\/strong>Further leaked images of the DJI Phantom 4 in flight in addition to details of the huge battery tray and gimbal have appeared:<\/p>\n

    \"P4_in_flight\"<\/a>Phantom 4 in flight over water. Here we also see the complete propellers for the first time. DJI has stayed with the integrated hub design most likely with the composite hubs as on the Phantom 3.<\/p>\n

    \"Backside_battery_tray\"<\/a>First glimpse of the new extra large battery tray. You can also see a three-prong plastic prop mount. This could hint towards a new quick release propeller design. The masking tape on the body is only there to hold the paper in place. Perhaps this was a prototype and the final design of the shell needed to be a bit larger for remaining components such as GPS Receiver.<\/p>\n

    \"gimbal_closeup\"<\/a>Here we have a first look at the new gimbal. You can see the double supported camera including the ribbon cable going back up the gimbal. The bottom of the Phantom 4 features the mesh cover, allowing for cooling.<\/p>\n

    UPDATE9:<\/strong>\u00a0Our initial leaks are confirmed<\/strong>! These images taken from the Teaser Video (see below) match the leaked pictures we reported earlier in feb.<\/p>\n

    \"Battery_grip\"<\/a>The battery grip\u00a0as visible in the teaser video with matching grip panel for increased friction while removing the battery.<\/p>\n

    \"Motor_can\"<\/a>The base of the new motor cans\u00a0match!<\/p>\n
