    DJI had a bumper year in 2016. It launched the Mavic Pro, a portable and lightweight quadcopter rocking precision flying technology, obstacle sensors and autonomous features for easy filming on the go.

    Then came the Inspire 2, an overhaul of DJI’s weapons-grade film-making UAV. In March they introduced the Phantom 4, strutting skyward with a new look and a glut of performance enhancing upgrades like single touch autonomous flight, subject tracking and obstacle avoidance sensors.

    The Phantom 4 set a new benchmark for drone design and technology, which is why the November launch of the Phantom 4 Pro came as a shock to many. On paper the Pro reads like a Phantom 4 on steroids – there’s an upgraded camera, added obstacle sensors and new Intelligent Flight modes – but are these features enough to steer you away from the formidable Phantom 4, the cheaper Mavic Pro, or even sway your allegiance from another brand?
