DJI has recently unveiled a new addition to the Phantom 3 lineup \u2014 the Phantom 3 4K and a newly updated Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition at CES 2016.<\/p>\n
The Phantom 3 4K, as its name suggests, comes with a 4K gimbal-stabilized camera with remote control buttons for playback, video recording and camera shutter. The Phantom 3 4K is really not much different from its other siblings in the Phantom 3 range and features only minor changes and tweaks.<\/p>\n
The biggest difference is the use of WiFi for the P3 4K\u2019s video downlink instead of DJI\u2019s Lightbridge. The WiFi downlink has a claimed broadcast range of 1.2km. The use of WiFi instead of DJI\u2019s class-leading Lightbridge is meant to keep the cost of the P3 4K down as Paul Pan, DJI\u2019s Senior Product Manger comments:<\/p>\n
The Phantom 3 4K fills an important gap in our Phantom portfolio. It offers a high-quality camera and smart navigation system for a lower price than our professional models. This is possible, as we have replaced the DJI Lightbridge system with a built-in WiFi link.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In conjunction with the company\u2019s 10th anniversary, DJI is offering the Phantom 3 4K at a promotional price of $799. The promotion also extends to the Phantom 3 Advanced which now retails for $799 and the entry-level Phantom 3 Standard at $499.<\/p>\n
DJI also took the opportunity to showcase its latest update to its Inspire 1 flagship line \u2014 the Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition.<\/p>\n
The latest Inspire 1 is DJI\u2019s answer to calls from drone enthusiasts for an all-black version of the original Inspire 1. The Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition comes with a matte black transmitter, battery and body shell and comes with the Zenmuse X5 camera gimbal system which features a Micro 4\/3 camera.<\/p>\n
It can\u2019t get any blacker than that, really.<\/p>\n
To make sure there is at least some variety, DJI will continue to sell the original Inspire 1 alongside the new model for those who don\u2019t quite like having an all-black drone.<\/p>\n
The Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition is expected to sell for about $4,799.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
