DJI Phantom 4 reaches far. It flies a maximum distance of 5 kilometres. The transmission distance is limited at 3.5 km.
The pro version Phantom 4 Pro was released half a year later.
Manufacturer: DJI
At £1229, the Phantom 4 is more expensive than last year's model, but the autonomous modes make it the clear choice for anyone looking to make their first flight as a drone pilot.

We've written about the very popular DJI Phantom 3 drone and the company has just stepped up their game with the release of the all-new DJI Phantom 4 drone . This drone is just as amazing as the Phantom 3 and then improved in many aspects.
