DJI, the world's leading maker of multiswitches and control systems, introduces its new quadrocopter with the F309 Phantom 2 designation. It is an excellent filming and photography tool for those who have flying over the countryside as their hobby. You don’t need any previous experience. The Phantom comes completely assembled, programmed, and tested. Just turn it on and you can immediately start exploring places inaccessible to everyone else.

Perfect design without compromises
The quadrocopter base is made of a durable plastic shell, which carries the 2312-0960 motors, control electronics, a 5200mAh Li-Pol three-cell battery, and any additional payload.
The heart of Phantom 2 is an intelligent NAZA-M V2 control unit that can operate in two modes with automatic stabilisation.
Professional gimbal for GoPro Hero 4
The drone includes the professional Zenmus H4-3D gimbal, which belongs to the top of the line gimbals designed for GoPro Hero 4 cameras. It is notable for its high precision, image stabilisation, low weight, and Plug and Play capability, making it a popular tool in movie and advertising studios. Every photo or video recording is made in the highest quality possible (the gimbal is designed for GoPro Hero 4 cameras).
Controls that everyone can handle
The model uses a seven-channel 2.4GHz FHSS transmitter with two crossover controls to control its basic functions and motion. It also includes two three-way switches to select flight modes and intelligent model orientation control modes.
The transmitter has a neutral controller in the gas axis (i.e. it can automatically re-centre itself), which is great for video shooting and photography.
Precise shots
In the GPS stabilisation mode, Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is also available. You can choose from the following modes, which are particularly useful when shooting a video:
- Course Lock - The front of the model (and thus the camera) always goes in the preset direction regardless of where the quadrocopter flies
- Home Lock - The front of the model constantly points in the direction of the line passing through the take-off point and the current position of the quadrocopter
Position stabilisation
In Atti GPS position stabilisation mode, the NAZA-M V2 control unit automatically stabilises the quadrocopter in all axes. The commands from the RC kit are used to move the model in the right axis at a speed proportional to the controller's tilt on the transmitter. Meanwhile, the autopilot automatically ensures the model remains stable.
Safe return home
Auto Return-to-Home mode can be set to both the right and left three-position sensor. It can therefore be called up at any time during a flight.
If the signal is interrupted during operation, the system is automatically activated and the quadrocopter returns safely to the specified location.
Always under control
Thanks to the three-colour LED indicator, you have an immediate overview of the device's operating status. The LED lights on the underside of the arms serve to locate the device instantly. The landing gear consists of a pair of plastic profiles that also carry a receiver antenna and a GPS / compass sensor.
